So… Now What? Five Ideas for a Wonder Woman Sequel
It’s here! With Wonder Woman released it’s time for one last speculation piece in Watchtower’s Seven Days of Wonder Woman before we all navel gaze and box office track and chances are as you’re reading this you might have already seen Wonder Woman. Which makes me a little envious of you since it’s Monday morning while I’m writing this and all I have to watch is youtube videos like this: (Actually… I like this video. Kumamon is the man.) Anyway, we’ve looked back for long enough! It’s time to look forward. Let’s ponder possibilities for a Wonder Woman Sequel and what better way to do that than by looking into…

Review: WONDER WOMAN [2017]
After the mixed reception to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the (mostly) negative reception to Suicide Squad, the DC Extended Universe needed a home run. A film that not only pleased fans but also got their biggest critics on board. You can’t possibly go into the first Justice League film with four “mediocre” films on your stat sheet, can you? Thankfully we don’t even have to think about that. Wonder Woman is here to stop the nerd apocalypse. The film focuses on Diana’s origin story, and what makes her the hero we see in Batman v Superman. We see Diana as a child [played by the adorable Lilly Aspell]. She…

WONDER WOMAN’s Best: A Look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman
WONDER WOMAN’s Best: A Look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman As Part of Watchtower of Babel’s Seven Days of Wonder Woman Celebration, it’s time to take a look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman series. The series was developed for Television by Stanley Ralph Ross (who also wrote for the Adam West Batman series and it shows) was produced by Love Boat Producer Douglas S Cramer (and it shows) and starred Lynda Carter (duh!) and Lyle Waggoner (playing both Steve Trevor and Later Steve Trevor Jr and we’ll get to that.) A lot of parenthetical asides already, I need to ratchet back before this becomes “Tangent: The Article.” Anyway,…

Review: Wonder Woman 2011 TV Pilot
Our story begins with a family celebrating the oldest son’s acceptance to college. It ends, with said son, Willis, bleeding from his eyes and ears with the mom’s screams to call the hospital. The next scene leads into a chase, with a man of superhuman speed, Wonder Woman, and the police. The chase ends when Wonder Woman throws her lasso of truth.Wonder Woman takes a syringe of the man’s blood and leaves him to the police. Here’s the costume Wonder Woman is currently wearing, switching blue starred shorts for long blue pants. I am not a fan of switching the costume so drastically, even though most of it sticks to…

Review: WONDER WOMAN [2009]
Wonder Woman is one of many DC Animated films. This one focuses on the origin story for the queen of comics. We see Diana (Keri Russell) journey to Man’s World with the guidance of Steve Trevor (Nathan Fillion). The two need to stop Ares the God of War (Alfred Molina). It’s a story we’ve seen a thousand times. Girl wants to explore a new world, the overprotective parent says no, they go anyway and run into a man that joins them on their adventure. It’s basically every Disney movie. There’s a huge difference though. Wonder Woman takes these cliches and turns them on their head. It opens with one of…

Five Things DC Films Must Do to Make Up for BvS (According to the Internet)
The following editorial reflects in the views of the staff of Watchtower of Babel in total. We spoke on this and agreed to everything within. Okay! So, Batmurder -v- Stupidman: Yawn of Justice bombed in theaters. Sure it’s only been out in fourteen days and sure it had the biggest opening in March ever and yeah it’s already made more money in that time than Man of Steel’s entire theatrical run but guys… We all know it bombed. We just know. I mean, I saw it four times in theaters but that was just four times, if it was great I’d probably have seen it like eight or nine times…
