10 Ways The DC Cinematic Universe Could Eclipse Marvel's

6. Strongest Female Character

It's a travesty that Hollywood has so far been unable to produce a successful comic book movie starring a female super hero. As previously discussed here, there are a number of popular super-powered women who deserve their own time in the spotlight, but if only one could be chosen, then there is no question who that should be. While Marvel continue to flirt with the idea of a solo Black Widow or Ms. Marvel movie, DC are striding forward with the official casting of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in the upcoming movie Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. As the definitive super heroine, Wonder Woman has long been overdue a cinematic debut, but with DC's plans now officially set in motion, it looks like fans won't have to wait much longer. Gadot has currently signed a three picture deal for the role of the Amazonian Princess and so it's looking increasingly more likely that Wonder Woman will finally star in her own solo venture, as well as a Justice League of America movie. This is huge for DC, as a successful Wonder Woman picture would be a landmark event in the world of comic book movies. Ultimately, Marvel may have its own fair share of powerful female characters, but none possess the iconic status and worldwide appeal of Wonder Woman, and this would certainly give DC an upper hand in their ongoing rivalry.
