I’ve raved in the past about various Marvel-based animated properties that had knocked my socks off recently, most notably Hulk Vs. and Wolverine and the X-Men. I focus on those mainly because I’m such a fan of the Marvel characters, much more so, for some reason, than the DC comics ones. Marvel seemed much more grounded in reality (if that makes any sense) while DC’s heroes were mostly inhuman God-like beings walking the Earth. However, when I come across an amazing cartoon featuring DC Comics characters, I’ve gotta say something about it…hence this post about Wonder Woman.
You know, when I did my “2009 Movie Mayhem” post two weeks ago, there were a lot of films that didn’t make the cut. Even with the “geek ties” films like Star Trek and Harry Potter don’t really have an impact with me personally, so I didn’t include them with the normal comic book fare. But as I hear more and more about Terminator: Salvation, I realize that film was a glaring omission from my summer list. I’m a huge fan of the Terminator universe…I loved Terminator 3, and am a devoted watcher of the Sarah Connor Chronicles (which is, unfortunately, most likely on the chopping block). Salvation has Christian Bale and Sam Worthington, and finally takes us behind the war zone with Skynet in full control and the robots ruling the world. Basically what we’ve been wanting to see since 1984.
Still, it didn’t seem the film was getting a whole lot of mainstream pub, so it sort of slipped my radar. Well, not any more.
