Wonder Woman: 21 New Details & Secrets Just Revealed

10. The Trench Action Scene

Collider offered a full description of the trench-based World War I scene already glimpsed in the trailer that sees Diana attacking an enemy position and deflecting machine gun fire with her bracelets. Quite wonderfully, they say that it's the best thing they've seen of the DCEU so far.

The scene opens with Wonder Woman and her team seeking a way to avoid the fighting in the trenches, only for Diana to learn of a civilian woman who has been forced into slavery by the German troops along with other civilians. Steve Trevor pleads with her to avoid the battle and stick to the mission, but she ignores him, charges the enemy line and draws the German fire so her team-mates can follow.

By the sound of it, the action is going to be amazing:

The scene ends with Wonder Woman, Trevor, and the troops breaching the German line and taking down a bunch of German soldiers. No, it’s not Superman punching Zod through a bunch of buildings. It’s not the Batmobile blowing up city streets. It’s so much better. It’s a character-driven moment where the action on screen follows the best version of the hero. How good was this scene? I’ll put it this way: I saw it with a bunch of fellow superhero movie nerds, and we’re a pretty jaded bunch. We’ve seen all the superhero films, and while we always want them to succeed, we’re also skeptical. After seeing this scene, we were absolutely giddy.
