So I just saw a superhero origin story involving an iconic character wearing primarily red and blue and wielding a shield. They spend much of their innocent youth wishing to join the armed forces to defend their country, and those who cannot defend themselves. One day, a chance encounter with a foreigner gives them the chance to do so and the character is embroiled in a historic World War.

The first trailers for Wonder Woman and Justice League have dropped from Comic-Con and they actually look really good. My god, DC seems to actually be learning from the backlash and responding by making better decisions, being truer to the characters (in most cases) and letting their movies about people in brightly colored spandex have a little bit of lightness in them.
I’m still shaky on Suicide Squad, but this looks to be the direction that I’ve been hoping for from DC, not Marvel, but not broody McBatman-ed in every property.
