12 Best Female Movie Characters Of 2016

12. Wonder Woman – Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

While it got a fair share of fanboys raving about it, it’s safe to say that by and large Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice failed to live up to expectation. But whether you loved it or hated it, there’s one character that practically everybody was raving about – Diana Prince a.k.a. Wonder Woman, played by Gal Gadot.

DC fans may have been nervous about bringing such an iconic character to the big screen, but when the first pictures emerged of Gadot in full Wonder Woman garb their fears were allayed and even more so when she finally blistered onto the screen. Despite a relatively small amount of screen time – first as her human alter ago, mysterious antiques dealer Diana Prince and later in the grand finale fight scene in full superhero form – she’s been hailed as the best part of Batman V Superman. And better yet, we’ll be seeing much more of her when the standalone Wonder Woman movie is released next year.
