5) The Cinematography Is Beautiful
Up until now, the movies of the DC Extended Universe have all had a similar visual style, mainly consisting of washed-out colours depicting foreboding urban settings. Wonder Woman looks to be breath of fresh air in this respect, though. Not only have we left the dingy city and stepped back in time onto a beautiful paradise island, but the whole look of the movie is a lot more bold and colourful than what’s come before.
This is best exemplified in the trailer by the shots of Themyscira itself and the instantly iconic image of Wonder Woman’s red, gold and blue uniform striding through No Man’s Land. In a way, it feels like director Patty Jenkins is subtly calling back to the bright colours of the Golden Age of Comics, from which Wonder Woman first hailed.
The movie also looks to be using some interesting camera techniques, like the slo-mo used when Diana watches a bullet whizzing past her. Funnily enough, it heavily resembles the moment in the Justice League trailer where The Flash looks at Bruce’s batarang in the same way. This could become a recurring motif of these films, but we’re assuming it’s just a coincidence and Snyder and Jenkins thought of it independently as a cool way of showing the hero’s fast reflexes.
