I’m completely lost on this one, and I’m not sure why, but it seems as if Arrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim is accusing Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. of ripping off Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman pose from Elektra.
Today saw new images of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman released, with one similar to her Batman Vs. Superman pose — the one that Zack Snyder showed her how to do.
Well, Marc Guggenheim posted the pic on Twitter next to a Marvel Comics cover of Elektra adding, “Hmm,” which obviously implies that he must think Elektra did the pose first?
Fans reacted and replied to Guggenheim, who was quick to follow up his tweet with, “Jeez, people. You’re reading an ‘implication’ here where none was intended. Calm down.”
None was intended? Again, I’m lost, but why then post the pic with “Hmm?” Could it be because Guggenheim is currently writing Agents of SHIELD for Marvel — which happens to include Elektra??
In the tweets that followed from the fans, they all noted how much Guggenheim himself has ripped off borrowed from Batman for his Arrow show. We can also add in X-Men’s Magneto, Nolan’s Dark Knight movies and Oracle as well.
Regarding the Wonder Woman pose? Guess what? Wonder Woman did it first.
It almost makes you wonder with the other DC TV shows rising in popularity and Arrow declining, if Guggenheim’s days on Arrow (and Legends of Tomorrow) are numbered…

WB recently debuted new Wonder Woman footage in Italy and descriptions have hit the net. It’s more or less a featurette with interviews mixed with the footage.
Spoiler warning as the footage is new.
Wonder Woman hits June 2, 2017 directed by Patty Jenkins starring Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright and Connie Nielsen. Also be sure to check out 40 new Gal Gadot Wonder Woman images.
Via Badtaste.it (translated):
The Wonder Woman footage opens with the footage we’ve already seen (see below) of Wonder Woman on horseback, etc. The movie is described as telling the story of how Wonder Woman comes into the world of man. It’s noted the movie isn’t a love/romance story but is heavy on action.
The story sees Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor arrive on the Amazonian island of Themyscira where he comes into contact with the “salvation of humanity” – the hero that can help them. It’s said Steve teaches Wonder Woman about the world of man. Wonder Woman is described as wearing period clothing (WWI), she’s seen in “rich” clothes at parties, and she gets a lot of looks of wonder and admiration from people.
Behind-the-scenes images from the movie are also shown. It’s also said the movie has a Snyder-vibe to it (Zack and Deborah are producers), but that Wonder Woman has its own personality.
The character of Wonder Woman is said to be seperate from mankind in that Diana is extemely pure, innocent, good and a heroine. She gets immersed into a world unknown to her, one that will predicatably test her “purity.” She’s amazed and fascinated by the world of man, how different it is, etc.
Some cool footage described includes Wonder Woman using her shield to cover herself from a volley of bullets. It’s said to be a really “beautiful” scene that showcases the violence of the bullets crashing into her shield “like giant horizontal raindrops.”
Another scene features Wonder Woman on horseback with her sword in hand chasing armed soldiers.
Diana is seen in what looks to be her secret civilan identity (and wears glasses, which may be a nod to Clark Kent).
It’s said much of the Wonder Woman film is expected to center around the war and Steve Trevor being a soldier (steals planes, rides on horses, fights soldiers, etc.), and of course Wonder Woman. It’s noted that “curiously” none of the images show the two fighting together. It’s also not shown in any of the footage that there is a romantic link between the pair.
The article also notes the Wonder Woman movie apparently succeeds at what Marvel has failed to do: showcasing a – “male hero in women’s clothing” – meaning a female superhero.
Previously released Wonder Woman featurette:
The Batman Vs. Superman Ultimate Edition comes with a cool Justice League featurette which offers a new piece of concept art featuring Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg.
Check it out below.

(via Collider)
The 2016 Licensing Expo is currently underway in Las Vegas, and a new Gal Gadot Wonder Woman poster has been spotted.
Update: Logos for the DC movies have also been revealed.
Check it out below.
Wonder Woman has a June 2, 2017 release directed by Patty Jenkins also starring Chris Pine, Robin Wright and Connie Nielsen.
You can also read about Justice League details as well as a scene involving Wonder Woman.
Via Coming Soon:
We get some insights to the Justice League movie as various sites are reporting on their set visits from London.
WB also released the Justice League movie logo (pictured above).
Details about the Justice League movie include (via joblo):
Update #2: A Batman and Flash scene description is released.
Update #3: Official Justice League synopsis revealed.
It will be lighter in tone than Batman Vs. Superman. It will be more fun and will focus on the building of the Justice League uniting against a common threat.
Justice League is said to have a strong Jack Kirby influence, with the story revolving around the pursuit of three Mother Boxes (device that created Cyborg in Batman Vs. Superman): one from Earth, one from Atlantis, and the third from The Amazons.
Justice League takes place months after Batman Vs. Superman, with Bruce Wayne heavily affected by the death of Superman. Batman seeks to honor Superman’s death by building the Justice League. It’s further said Batman is not as dark as he was in Batman Vs. Superman, but Batman is now full of hope and centered on uniting the Justice League to fight against common threats while at the same time redeeming mankind.
Superman’s return will be featured later in the movie, with a large part of the film dealing with Batman uniting the Justice League.
As seen in the Batman Vs. Superman Lex Luthor deleted scene, Steppenwolf will be a key villain, but it sounds like there will be others. Steppenwolf has yet to be cast. Lex may be involved with the Steppenwolf and Darkseid story.
Darkseid will be an influence in the movie, with the parademons scene in the Batman Vs. Superman Nightmare scene reappearing. It’s unknown how much of Darkseid will be in the movie.
Ben Affleck confirmed he is directing the solo Batman movie, but they are still getting the script right.
Affleck is said to be executive producing Justice League to oversee Batman.
Batman’s suit will get upgrades, and a new and improved version of the Armored Batman suit will reappear at the end of Justice League.
Bruce Wayne will build a Waynetech carrier, The Flying Fox, for the Justice League. Batman will also have a new vehicle, The Nightcrawler, which was designed by his father, Thomas Wayne (said to play a large role in an underground tunnel battle).
Willem Dafoe’s role is revealed, which is a mentor to Jason Momoa’s Aquaman named Vulko. It’s said Vulko is more of an early Atlantean as he has gils, meaning the Atlanteans adapted to breathing underwater at some point.
Amber Heard is playing Mera, described as a warrior and a sorceress.
JK Simmon’s Gordon looks pretty much like you expect (mustache, etc.).
The Flash will be comic relieve in Justice League. The Ezra Miller Flash costume will be initially made from spacesuit material held together by electrified wire. Waynetech will design a new costume for The Flash, seen by the end of the movie.
Ray Fisher’s Cyborg costume will be all CGI.
Junkie XL is returning to score Justice League. Some of Hans Zimmer’s previous music will be used.
Zack Snyder teases when – and if – we see the return of Superman, his hair may be a little longer (a nod to the death and return of Superman story from the DC Comics).
“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe as the Atlantean, Vulko.
Update: WB has released the Justice League logo, with plot and specific details made known.
It’s learned earlier at the first day of CineEurope in Barcelona that Warner Bros. showed off a new extended Suicide Squad trailer, showed off a behind-the-scenes look at Wonder Woman and featured a special message from the set of Justice League in London.
In addtion, THR reports that head of international distribution Thomas Molter promised “at least 10 new movies over the next five years” for the DC movie universe.
No specifics have hit the net regarding the footage, but the Justice League message featured Zack Snyder, Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill in a brief video saying hello.
WB also showed off footage for The Legend Of Tarzan, LEGO Batman, Sully, The Accountant starring Ben Affleck, War Dogs, Lego Ninjago, Storks, Smallfoot, an extended preview of Kong: Skull Island and behind-the-scenes footage of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

New Commemorative Logo Kicks Off Festivities Leading to First Solo Film in 2017
To mark the 75th anniversary of one of the world’s best-known Super Heroes, Warner Bros. Entertainment and DC Entertainment today unveiled plans for a year-long celebration of Wonder Woman. The character has transcended the pages of comics to become a powerful global symbol of justice, equality and peace.
Beginning with a new commemorative logo honoring the Amazon Princess’s legacy, highlights of the year will include the relaunch of her comic book series; new graphic novels; convention panels; and consumer products, including apparel, toys and other exclusive merchandise. These and further anniversary events will culminate in the release of the very first “Wonder Woman” feature film on June 2, 2017.
First seen in October 1941 in All-Star Comics #8 in a back-up story meant to test her appeal at a time when female superheroes were rare, Wonder Woman quickly broke out and headlined her own title by the next year. Subsequent generations came to know the star-spangled heroine with metal bracelets on her wrists and a magic lasso by her waist via her hit 1975-79 television series and roles in animated shows and movies, as well as her historic appearance on the cover Ms. Magazine #1 in 1972. This past March, Wonder Woman was seen for the first time in a live action motion picture with her introduction in the global blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
“Wonder Woman is a legend around the world and one of the most valuable franchises at our studio, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this anniversary,” said Kevin Tsujihara, Chief Executive Officer, Warner Bros. “Millions of fans already know her from comic books, television, and her big screen debut in ‘Batman v Superman,’ but the upcoming year building to her first solo film will be the most dynamic and exciting in the character’s history.”
Over the decades, Wonder Woman has run for president, organized a union, flown an invisible plane, lost and regained her powers, studied martial arts, battled Ares, the God of War, worked at a fast food chain, and had a romantic relationship with Superman. Her diverse history will be integrated and celebrated in a new comic book series launching this month as part of DC Universe: Rebirth that honors what fans love most about the character.
Written by fan favorite Greg Rucka and on sale June 22nd, Wonder Woman #1 will be the first print debut of the new Wonder Woman 75th commemorative logo. Other variations of the new logo created for various products merge the character’s name and traditional “W” symbols with the number 75, set alongside a striking blue silhouette of the iconic character in a warrior stance.
“Wonder Woman has long stood with Batman and Superman in the trinity of DC’s most iconic Super Heroes, but she also stands alone as a symbol of equality, justice and female empowerment and is more relevant today than ever,” said Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment, President of Warner Bros. Consumer Products, and President and Chief Content Officer of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “With her roots in Greek mythology and American feminism, Wonder Woman is one of the most unique and compelling characters in comic book history; her longevity is a testament to her global appeal and the special place she holds in the hearts of generations of girls who have imagined wielding their own lassos of truth.”
Created by William Moulton Marston, a psychologist who invented the lie-detecting polygraph machine, Wonder Woman was conceived as a new type of superhero who used wisdom and compassion, not just her fists, to triumph over evil. Daughter of the queen of the all-female Amazon tribe from Greek mythology, Wonder Woman was imbued by the gods with powers, including super-strength and a lasso that compels anyone it surrounds to tell the truth. Wearing a costume inspired by the flag of a downed American pilot, she travelled to “patriarch’s world” to fight for such values as peace and equality. She is the only female comic book character to have her own stories continuously published for the past three quarters of a century.
Among the events and products Wonder Woman fans can look forward to over the next year from Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are:

The latest issue of Total Film magazine features an article about Wonder Woman with Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins.
Gal Gadot talks what the movie is about, with the article noting “Diana (as she is initially known) goes from a timeless isle to trenchwarfare in the 20th century.”
“This is the character’s origin story. She’s not American – she comes from Themyscira, where she’s raised by her mother [Connie Nielsen’s Queen Hippolyta] and all the other Amazons,” Gadot offers. “She’s never seen a man in her entire life. This is the journey of her coming of age, of how she sees the world through different eyes.”
It’s also said the Wonder Woman movie “promises a unique mix of fantasy and historical reality,” and that it will also feature a “fresh approach to ass-kicking.”
“I feel like we’re not the first people to have female fighting going on, but I feel that something very successful has come together here that is fully feminine, but still incredibly strong and sexy,” director Patty Jenkins said as well as adding the Amazons have an ample skill-set, and are less about raw force than good, honest teamwork.
“Gal Gadot, really, truly is Wonder Woman. I’ve said so many times [on set], ‘Gal, in the worst-case scenario, just be yourself – because you really are so true to the sprirt of this character,” Jenkins said.
“Wonder Woman” has a June 2, 2017 release directed by Patty Jenkins also starring Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis , Ewen Bremner, Saïd Taghmaoui, Elena Anaya, Lucy Davis and Connie Nielsen.

DC Universe: The Exhibit will be the new first floor feature in The Archive – which is just one of many stops on Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. As part of the newest addition to the Tour, guests will be able to explore authentic props and costumes from the highly anticipated summer film, “Suicide Squad,” two months prior to the film’s debut in theaters. Highlights of the interactive experience include the original Belle Reve prison cell set once occupied by Harley Quinn (portrayed on-screen by Margot Robbie) in “Suicide Squad,” as well as the Bat lab in the Batcave from Ben Affleck’s first outing as Batman in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”. The exhibit also pays homage to the origins of DC Comics, including all seven Super Heroes of the Justice League, exclusively at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood.
Inside DC Universe: The Exhibit, Studio Tour guests will be treated to an exclusive sneak peek at David Ayer’s upcoming “Suicide Squad” as they explore authentic props and costumes from the film on a rotating basis.

Guests will have the opportunity to get up close to Kryptonite, Superman’s sole weakness. Inserting their hands into a pair of gloves, inside a case holding the element, they will mirror Lex Luthor (played in the film by Jesse Eisenberg) and his kryptonite case featured in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Additionally, guests can see striking Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman costumes, as well as the authentic costumes of Lois, Clark, Alfred, and Bruce Wayne, original Bat Lab in the Bat Cave set pieces, and much more.

We’ve first seen Ben Affleck in Batman Vs. Superman, which will be followed by an appearance in Suicide Squad.
Affleck is also starring in the two Justice League movies and the standalone Batman film of which he is writing, directing and starring in.
Now it’s possible Ben Affleck might be featured in the Gal Gadot Wonder Woman movie as well.
Way back yonder, I was told Ben Affleck had signed on for a “huge” multi-picture deal to appear as Bruce Wayne and Batman in the DCEU.
While there is presently no confirmation of Ben Affleck or Bruce Wayne in Wonder Woman, there is confirmation Wayne Enterprises will be featured in the film.
A new Wonder Woman set image has hit the net featuring Gal Gadot along with a Wayne Enterprises armored vehicle, which may suggest Gotham City as well.
Not only does the image hint Ben Affleck might be appearing in the movie, but also that Wonder Woman may take part in the present day, as it’s known Wonder Woman is set in WWI as well.
“Wonder Woman” has a June 2, 2017 release date.
