That’s good, but restraint doesn’t mean there should be a huge drop in Wonder Woman visibility so close to the release date.

Finally, we get the first full official Justice League trailer.

This, of course, does not count the SDCC trailer, which was also awesome but was really meant as a comicon pull. And this time, we get to see more more more.

Now here’s a Wonder Woman movie I would not mind watching, too.

Lynda Carter and Gal Gadot just absolutely nail the character. I wish Lynda would appear in the DCEU at some point. Come on, Warner and DC! You know that would be gold.
