Fans have waited a long time for this!
You could spend days upon days watching all of the Superman and Batman films that have been produced over the decades, but for whatever reason, it took 76 years for Wonder Woman to get just one of her own.
So, yeah, fans were eager to turn out this past weekend and see the iconic DC Comics character -- who has been a global symbol of strength and equality -- appear on the big screen for the first time. Making it especially satisfying for her fans, it was directed by a woman, Monster-helmer Patty Jenkins, is the best-reviewed film in Warner Bros.' burgeoning DC Extended Universe, and its PG-13 rating made parents everywhere feels comfortable bringing their children to go see it.
"I knew it was going to be PG-13, and there's so much there for adults, but also that little girls were going to want to see it, so I tried to make it as safe as possible," Jenkins told the NY Times. "If we succeeded in bringing something to people while they're growing up, that would be something."

Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
