The Main Reason Why Audiences Want To See ‘Batman V Superman’? It’s Wonder Woman
Deadline Hollywood ^ | March 23, 2016 | Anthony D'Alessandro

Posted on 03/23/2016 10:04:07 AM PDT by C19fan

In the latest Fandango survey, moviegoers say that the introduction of Wonder Woman in Warner Bros.’ Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is a primary draw for them. The film hits U.S. theaters tomorrow at 6 PM, and some exhibitors have raised their opening-weekend projections to north of $160M. Currently, BvS reps 90% of Fandango’s weekend ticket sales, and the Zack Snyder film is outstripping pre-sales for all superhero titles at this point in time including The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Advance ticket sales for BvS among all services is figured between $20M-$25M.

Me too. From the few snippets this Wonder Woman rocks. Comics are modern day mythology so why not a character with lots of connections to Greek mythology.

if only it were just comics. but the average woman can now beat up fifteen marines with one fist in the movies.

the propaganda has worked so well for 20 years that they are now going to be marines minus the qualifications.

Lynda Carter was and always will be THE Wonder Woman in my heart!

That is what a figure is supposed to be, not today's anorexic twigs with tacked-on unreal looking boobs.

Perhaps its the nerd in me, I can appreciate a pretty girl, but what I really like, is the action, and the tech. I really like the special effects, and the ART of the film.

the propaganda

Back in the sixties The Avengers was fun to watch one of the reasons being Diana Rigg was the enforcing part of Steed and Peel. She used martial arts to beat up a lot of bad guys. Besides, Rigg looked great.

Now they've overdone it. It seems every new cop show I start watching has small women beating the cr*p out of muscle-bound men.

Who believes this is plausible? Do young women (if they watch cop shows) now think that because they're seeing it on tv and in the movies, they can beat up the average male? I think most women are aware of the physical differences between males and females. Why does the lib entertainment industry want to push the myth of male-female physical equality?

Wonder Woman’s the main reason I want to go, for sure. None too keen on this version of Superman.

Linda Carter looked fantastic in an age when the general public had no clue on how to sculpt their bodies. That woman still looks hot.

Didn’t you get the memo? The only way to become the Big Boss in Law Enforcement or spying is to be a super-hot chick who kicks ass and can take on and defeat 3 or 4 bad guys at one time (except the Designated Male Villain).

This obviously reflects reality.

No it isn’t. That is just stupid. Number one reason, Superman. Number two reason, Batman. Number three reason, Batman vs. Superman. Wonder Woman is number four reason, at best.

Put her in the same outfit and it’s game over, no contest. Much prettier and definitely better put together.

What kind of male watches these shows? I saw the last few minutes of an episode of "The Mentalist" a few years ago, and some women was attacking him. He huddled in a fetal position until the (smaller) woman stopped kicking him.

Any normal male would have either grabbed her leg and laughed at her or knocked her on her a** after getting kicked a few times. Don't Hollyweird scriptwriters realize how stupid many of their scripts are?
