DC made a big deal out of hiring acclaimed TV director Michelle McLaren (Breaking Bad, Game Of Thrones) for the Wonder Woman movie, stating that it was important to hire a talented female director to take charge of the character. They kind of shot themselves in the foot when they fired her a short time later, as it turns out she thought shed have some kind of creative input into the story. She and the studio had constant arguments about the direction it should go during pre-production, as they didnt like any of her ideas and she didn't like any of theirs. They hired her exactly because she was a talented director who spoke her mind, but when she wouldnt play along they dropped her for the same reason; which is a little embarrassing. They soon replaced her with Monster director Patty Jenkins, which is a risky choice as shes never directed anything with the scope of a summer blockbuster before.
