The Wheel and Axle

Before I go do my Justice League review, here’s a reminder of the DCEU’s most recent mega-hit from earlier this year. Because she, of course, continued to rock in JL.

Justice League opens in two days in the Philippines! And for those who, for some reason, aren’t doing a marathon of the DCEU movies so far that led to this historic film, here’s a nice recap of all those movies.

P.S. I liked all these movies.

Are you ready for Justice?

Are you ready for Justice?

As Justice League‘s opening date draws nearer, and with the recent full trailer released, more and more TV spots and promotional material are coming out.

Let’s take a break today from all the Persian goodness to look at the latest Justice League trailer drop. And of course, it is iconic. We also finally get to see some Cavill, but no Superman (just watch, it’s not spoiler-y what I said).

Etta, oh moxie-filled Etta! I hope they find a way to bring you to the sequels, too. Preferably using the golden lasso in those ways you’re thinking of. So very 40s Wondie, tee hee.

Wonder Woman is out today on digital, although the iTunes one will be released on September 4th (I’ve pre-ordered, obv). Blu-ray is out on September 19th.

I’d previously noted how the creator of Wonder Woman, Dr. William Moulton Marston, was a man ahead of his time with his progressive sexual politics in early/mid 20th century America. He was part of a polyamorous relationship with his wife Elizbeth and another woman, Olive. He had strong opinions about the value of women, S&M/bondage, loving submissiveness, and other radical ideas of the time. All of these informed his creation of Wonder Woman and the stories he wrote for her comic.

New Justice League trailer: Oh. My. God! This will slay! Leaguers! Amazons! Hippolyte! Themiscyra! Atlantis! Apokolips!

“No protectors here. No Lanterns. No Kryptonian.” Hmm. Sounds hinty!

The suspense is just too much.
