BEN AFFLECK’S BRUCE WAYNE | Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) FICO OSSIO'S BRUCE WAYNE | Batman and Robin (2023) / The Quiet Man
There will always be one name that defines Wonder Woman… Lynda Carter. But her story didn’t start with her.
Before the world discovered Diana Prince in 1975, there was an earlier attempt… almost forgotten. In 1967, a pilot titled Who’s Afraid of Diana Prince? starred Ellie Wood Walker (actress 1 in the photo). It was a comedic take on Wonder Woman, and it never aired. The character simply didn’t land.
Fast forward to 1974. Warner Bros. was determined to make Wonder Woman work. They cast Cathy Lee Crosby (actress 5) in a more modern, non-traditional version of the hero. The result? A TV movie that failed to connect with audiences.
But they didn’t give up.
One year later, everything changed. Enter Lynda Carter (actress 2 in the photo).
From 1975 to 1979, she didn’t just play Wonder Woman, she became her. The strength, the elegance, the presence… everything aligned. And the show became an international success, shaping generations.
Decades later, Hollywood kept trying to bring her back.
In the mid-2000s, a new Justice League film was in development, with Megan Gale (actress 6) cast as Wonder Woman. But the project collapsed, largely due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike and other production issues.
Then in 2011, another attempt: a TV pilot starring Adrianne Palicki (actress 4). A redesigned costume, a new tone… but the show was never picked up.
And then, finally in 2016, Wonder Woman returned to the big screen with Gal Gadot (actress 3). A global success. A new era.
But through every version, every attempt, every reboot…
There will be many Wonder Women. But there will only ever be one Lynda Carter.

Guys I was already going to see it
I used to hate Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne/Batman and love Henry Cavill's Clark Kent/Superman.
Now, it's almost the opposite for me.
I love Batfleck, his version of Bruce especially is incredible. My only issue is that his Batman kills, but other than that, he's perfect.
Cavill's Superman on the other hand *sigh* sucks. Clark Kent isn't supposed to act like Superman wearing glasses. He's supposed to be a dork that sees the good in everyone. I know, I sound like a Corenswet fangirl now, but I felt this way before Superman (2025) came out.
I could explain this so much more thoroughly, but I'm tired.

in Zack Snyder's Justice League. 2021.
the thing is we have dark, broody, morally ambiguous, tortured, and conflicted Superman in the DC universe.
but the snyderbros would not want him.
because he is gay.
gay and canonically and legally married to his batshit insane borderline psychotic brother in arms Dr. Midnighter.
and they would hate how much better that makes him as a character.
not because of the gay part (tho that is a win in my book, go gays go), but on the morally ambiguous conflicted part. Dr. Midnighter being part of Apollo's OG squad and thus being the only surviving person to know the human Apollo is what makes their history together and their relationship so good for God V.S Humanity storylines.
and the snyderbros can never understand that.
The Snyder Cut should've stayed in the vault and never saw the light of day because some of the snyderbros are insufferable
