May 09, 2017
"Fighting does not make you a hero," Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, tells a young Wonder Woman in the new trailer for the DC Universe's next blockbuster: Wonder Woman.
The trailer showcases more of Wonder Woman's indomitable urge to defend those who cannot defend themselves.

Featured more prominently is Doctor Poison, one of the big bads of the film who's set on--as her name implies--poisoning the US Army.
Wonder Woman or Diana Prince debuted in 1941 in All Star Comics #8 by William Moulton Marston. Armed with the Lasso of Truth, indestructible bracelets, and her trusty sword and shield, Wonder Woman is a stalwart defender of peace throughout the DC Universe. Raised as an battle-ready Amazon and with her enhanced strength and abilities, she's an incredibly formidable foe that can stand up to the biggest, baddest threats in the universe. Originally, Diana's story was that she was sculpted from clay and given life by Aphrodite; she's since become the daughter of Zeus as a demigod imbibed with godly powers.
Doctor Poison or Princess Maru debuted in 1942 in Sensation Comics #2 by William Moulton Marston. As her name implies, Doctor Poison operated during World War II on behalf of the Nazis and acted as the leader of a spy wring bent on wreaking havoc in the US Army. Though Wonder Woman successfully stops and imprisons Doctor Poison, she nevertheless escapes to fight Wonder Woman once again.
