Wonder Woman (2009)

Fairly straight forward presentation of the Wonder Woman origin story (which I don't think I had ever really heard before) from the Warner Brothers animation department. I suspect we will get a rather similar rendering of this tale in the upcoming DCU version due out next year. This telling is set largely in the present day and features the voice of Keri Russell as Wonder Woman and Nathan Fillion as the American pilot she falls for, and there is something oddly un-feminist about this plot element for such a feminist icon. On the whole pretty engaging, and I liked not knowing exactly where it was going. ***
