13 Best Scenes From 2016's Summer Blockbusters

2. Wonder Woman Arrives (Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice)

The Scene: In the climactic battle, Doomsday fires an energy blast at Batman (Ben Affleck), but as the smoke clears, Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) has emerged to protect him. Cue Wonder Woman taking Doomsday on with her Lasso of Truth ahead of Superman making the "ultimate sacrifice".

Why It's Awesome: Most fans and critics tend to agree that Wonder Woman was a major highlight of the largely underwhelming Batman V Superman, for though she's only in the movie for mere minutes as the superhero, she makes a huge impact by arriving at a pivotal moment and quickly proving herself a total bada**.

From her pulse-racing theme music through to her aggressive attacks, it was such a relief that, despite so much fanboy hate, Gadot turned out to be a pretty great Wonder Woman. Hopefully her upcoming solo movie will prove it beyond all doubt.
