Trivia:

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Ares increases his power, he boasts he is as strong as Hercules. That is the Roman name of the demigod while all other mythical figures in the film are identified by the proper Greek names of Greek mythology. Though technically the proper name of Heracles would have applied, the source material of the comics has a long of intermixing the names of Roman and Greek deities in The Pantheon.

Quotes:

Ares: How will you stop me now that my powers rival that of any god? I am as strong as Hercules. As fast as Hermes. And now, like Hades, I wield dominion over the dead which allows me to unleash my own worst curse upon you people. Amazon dead, I command you to come to your lord. Slaughter your sisters.

the best animated feature from DC or Marvel to date

this is DC comics latest animated feature,and it is good.in my mind,it's the best animated feature from both DC and their rival Marvel.the action is outstanding,especially the fight scenes.the dialogue is good,as is the voice acting.there are some big names lending their voices here,and all suit the characters very well.i also liked the story,though how accurate it is to the comic book i don't know.i do know it's nice to have a strong central female character who can hold her own with any guy,and i don't just mean physically or intellectually.there is actually a pretty funny scene which illustrates this point,but i won't get into it here.anyway,hopefully in the next couple of years or so a live live action Wonder Woman film will hit theatres.anyway,for me,this animated Wonder Woman is a 9/10
