Wonder Woman Vs The Dark Knight: Which Is Better?

2. The Test Of Time

This is actually a really tough one, because both films are clearly considerably influential. On one hand, The Dark Knight told movie studios and filmmakers that comic book movies can aspire to be great films rather than merely great superhero films, while on the other, Wonder Woman is a long-needed breakthrough for female-led superhero fare, which haven't been this critically or financially successful ever before.

Though both films will absolutely endure over the years, one suspects Wonder Woman could usher in the greater paradigm shift overall, as more female directors are likely to be hired to direct female-centric comic book movies in the future, as studios finally realise the plain truth that, yes, people will pay lots of money to watch lady superheroes too.

Winner: Wonder Woman. As much as The Dark Knight has influenced the last decade of comic book movies tonally and aesthetically, Wonder Woman plants a huge flag for women both in front of and behind the camera, and that feels more important in the long run.
