Wonder Woman: 10 Reasons To Be Excited

1. There Is Colour And Smiling And Hope

Finally! A DC cinematic universe film that uses a colour palette beyond moody grey, moody blue and moody black. Gone are the days of dour cinematography and rainy streets, as Wonder Woman looks set to make full use of its gorgeous island setting (not to mention the inherent glamour of the Amazons' gold clothing) and remind us that comic books weren't always full of despair and brooding.

It's not just about technicolor, though. For the first time in the DCEU, it feels like we're getting a movie that isn't about the crushing burden of responsibility or the inescapability of one's past. Yes, it's almost dead certain that Wonder Woman's going to save the world in this film, but she's also going to take us on an adventure and have some fun while she's at it. And I, for one, can't wait.
