Wonder Woman: Four Differences Between a Short Film and a Feature

Last night, we talked about the misconception that because a pair of widely-discussed short films had successfully made Wonder Woman look awesome, there must be something fundamentally broken with the way Warner Bros. is approaching the character.It’s a frustrating line of conversation because the glib “Well, it should be easy” isn’t only inaccurate but it creates a distraction from actually getting the character done right–especially when the media is complicit with dozens of “How hard can it be?” headlines, as happened this week when the second of the two shorts debuted online.And that’s not making excuses; you really do want them focused on making the movie right. Imagine the outrage, not to mention the cost financially and to the popularity of superhero films in general and female-led superhero films in particular, if Wonder Woman came to theaters and became the next Elektra or Catwoman.
