Films with Wonder Woman Elements and Influences

This is a collage of films with Wonder Woman elements and influences to broaden minds about the character. Wonder Woman was intended to have elements of romance, and Greek mythology based sword and sorcery. Army nurse Diana Prince is like military nurse Janet Davidson in So Proudly We Hail! (1943),

Princess Diana is sort of like runaway Princess Ann Smith rebeling against her sheltered life in Roman Holiday (1953), and like a fish out of water kind of like Madison in Splash (1984), and Wonder Woman is like Alice slaying the Jabberwocky dragon in Alice in Wonderland (2010) with the sword and sorcery magic and monsters element and a woman as the hero. To Wonder Woman our world is a Wonderland from her perspective.

Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass had an obvious influence on Wonder Woman's creator William Moulton Marston and early Wonder Woman stories like "Wonder Woman's Adventure in Grow Down Land" from Sensation Comics # 31 (1944) written by William Moulton Marston.

Adam Hughes explained, "To me, Steve Trevor plays an incredibly huge part in the story. He’s essential to the story. Diana is this princess from this foreign country. And Steve Trevor, to me, is the Marlboro Man. He’s this iconic American test pilot. I would watch a whole movie just about their relationship. It’s sort of like ‘Roman Holiday.’ It’s people from two different worlds, who don’t have a lot in common. The romance and the gentle comedy come from the fact that they are two extremely disparate personalities but they get along so amazingly. And they understand each other more than anybody from their own world understands them. I couldn’t tell the story without Steve." http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17853

Joss Whedon said about Wonder Woman, "She's like a fish out of water. It's basically Splash." http://www.monstersandcritics.com/movies/news/article_1255290.php/Whedon_bows_out_of_Wonder_Woman
