Thoughts on Wonder Woman from Crisis on Two Earths(2010)?
Umm...
I didn't like the relationship with Steve. For me it was not in good taste to pair an 18 year old Diana who had never seen a man before with a clearly more matured man that sounded like a condescending douchebag sometimes. And then he changed her convictions.
But that's faithful to the comics.
@herrweis: she took down Superwoman who went toe to toe with Superman ... Of course all of the animated films glorify Batman so it's never easy to judge how powerful the other characters really are. But I'd say she's well portrayed in this film compared to the other JL films. Her personality as both compassionate (she was the one to insist they put aside mistrust and help) as well as her warrior side were present. I hope we see the N52 head closer to this version.
I also liked the WW animated movie version. She was a solid characterization of a young, somewhat naive woman who ventures out and matures into a smart woman. It's too bad a sequel will never happen as I think they could have explored her character a lot more and it would have been cool to see her power set grow as well.
As to people's comments on the age difference with Diana and Steve, I don't think it was that bad. She was more like 25 in this version and he was maybe 30 or so... They didn't have a truly romantic relationship, rather a hybrid of classical, GA relationship and Post-Crisis older brother relationship. and it's patently ridiculous to make a statement like she changed her convictions. She grew up and realized that the world has more than one point of view and that it is prudent to consider these POVs when you are going to be living in their society.

This has been a major misconception of DC heroes for a while. These characters haven't been unapproachable gods in decades.
I liked her. Not so sure I liked the way she was drawn though. Oh and also mainly because of this

The way I see it, her design in this movie was essentially the 2009 movie design with a few tweaks:
@ganon15: Not really the costume, it's just the way her face and hair was drawn, just something really bugged me about it in the film.
As the biggest Ultraman fanboy I didn't like the way he was portrayed in that movie.
Well what about Wonder Woman?

Let me go back and see the movie
*2 hours later*
Yup, she was there

If it's been a "major misconception" then perhaps it's not a misconception
Clark Kent: has friends and family he regularly interacts with. Has a regular nine to five job.
Bruce Wayne: Has adopted numerous orphans into his home.
Barry Allen: has a day job as a forensic investigator. Also has a rep for being one of the nicest superheroes around.
Hal Jordan: Has a fairly active love life and frequents drinking establishments with friends.
Diana: Dated Steve Trevor. Was an amabassador which requires a great deal of interaction with people.
Those are just the ones I can name at the top of my head.
@agent_z: Yeah but for me there's not enough emphasis on the human side of them and the vicissitudes of life, on the trials and tribulations of their non-superhero selves, we rarely get a glimpse of their personal lives on a more intimate level, they almost never smile or do mundane stuff like hanging out in pubs or something. They don't come across as normal people with a double life but more like Superheroes with a semblance of a normal life. Look at Superman/Wonder Woman, all we've gotten out of that were Soule's half-baked, pathetic attempts are romanticism.
