Make no mistake about it: Wonder Woman is absolutely an origin film, and will tell the story of how Diana, princess of Themyscira, came to man’s world and became a superhero to the people of Earth, decades before she would return to help Batman and Superman defeat the mighty threat of Doomsday in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But DC Films producer Charles Roven wants to make sure that the focus for her film, as well as their other solo films going forward, isn’t just a formulaic origin, like…

Usually, Marvel’s comic book super-mega-crossover events end up plagued with massive delays that screw up the timeline of their corresponding line-wide relaunch events, with books set in the aftermath of Secret Wars or Civil War 2 hitting stores month before those stories conclude.
