15 Best Comic Book Movie Moments Of 2016

8. Wonder Woman Arrives - Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

Captain America Civil War Giant Man Black Panther

In the climactic battle as Batman and Superman team up to take on Doomsday, Batman's Batwing is smashed into the ground, and just as Doomsday charges up an energy blast...Wonder Woman arrives to deflect it with her gauntlets.

The finale may largely be a mess of bad CGI, but Hans Zimmer's amazing Wonder Woman theme and Gal Gadot's better-than-expected physicality really made her appearance one of the film's big joys...even if the trailers spoiled it months ahead of time.

She ultimately may not figure as much in the movie as many were hoping, but she has a few great moments, such as smirking at Doomsday after he hits her, and pulling out the Lasso of Truth for the fanboys.

In short, very encouraging for the character, no matter the overall quality of the movie.
