Hello everyone, and welcome to this long awaited fourth episode of the show where I go on about animated superheroes. Today’s episode focuses in on the 2009 DVD release of the animated Wonder Woman movie, and just what they did and did not screw up on.

I hope that everyone enjoyed it, and I got a bit wavering in the end there, mostly because I was coming with with some kind of ailment and recording took me close to 4 hours, even with how good I’ve been getting at recording myself. It takes a ton of practice to get things just right.
It also took me close to five hours of getting the footage from other shows, the pictures and artwork and music, and then beer slamming it together. I definitely end up putting the most work into my episodes of CCC.
Still, I can’t help but feel like I missed something with Steve Trevor and his idioctic speech, so if you’ve got an angle or opinion on it that I missed, please let me know.
Cheers!
Notice how Diana is speechless when Steve mansplains? Why, it’s almost like the writers are having him win that argument!
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse actually features Supergirl as the main character. It’s based on the Michael Turner run. Despite the massive misogynistic marketing fail, it’s actually my favorite DC animated film which features Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and for that matter Barda kicking ass and taking names.
BIG BARDA, BIG BARDA, BIG BARDA-!
*ahem* Yes, I am a Big Barda fan… noy only because she’s super awesome and strong and has a husband, Mr. Miracle, who is completely comfortable with her being the muscle of the two, biut because Jack Kirby designed her, and when his wife asked him if the drawing was Jack’s ideal woman, he said “No, this is what I see when I see you.”
But yeah, apparently the same marketing ‘genius’ that went into Superman/Batman: Apocalypse went into naming John Carter, since women don’t like Mars and men don’t like Princess.I will check out the movie though and review it.
