To Go With the Film, Wonder Woman Animated Movie Gets Re-Released

	Instead of a new animated movie starring Wonder Woman, to tie into this summer’s live-action film, we’re getting a re-release of the 2009 cartoon origin story called the Wonder Woman Commemorative Edition. It’s already out on digital, and the Blu-ray combo pack (and plain DVD) drop on May 16, with a new cover to look more like the movie’s marketing material.

Instead of a new animated movie starring Wonder Woman, to tie into this summer’s live-action film, we’re getting a re-release of the 2009 cartoon origin story called the Wonder Woman Commemorative Edition. It’s already out on digital, and the Blu-ray combo pack (and plain DVD) drop on May 16, with a new cover to look more like the movie’s marketing material. I didn’t care much for the movie the first time around, mostly because I’ve seen umpteen versions of her origin at this point. As I said then, This is a Wonder Woman for boys. She’s a wise-cracking hero, and there’s an awful lot of fighting. When she suits up for the first time, there’s a boob shot where she reaches into her cleavage to adjust her bustier. There are even zombies! Thankfully, since it’s been almost a decade since this came out, expectations and audience for “the world’s greatest female superhero” have changed. That’s why I would have rather seen a new project. The live-action film covers her origin, so why have two versions out? Why not do a new story that explores her character in a different way, one that aims to reach the many people interested in the hero beyond the traditional young adult male superhero market? Maybe if the movie does really really well, there’s hope for something new later. That approach did allow for a lot of fighting and battles, though, which is what the DC animated movies do best. Here’s a trailer for the re-release version. Wonder Woman is voiced by Keri Russell. She fights Ares (Alfred Molina) aided by Steve Trevor (Nathan Fillion), Artemis (Rosario Dawson), and her mother, Queen Hippolyta (Virginia Madsen). For the Commemorative Edition, the audio commentary from the first release has been carried over, as have the two featurettes “A Subversive Dream” and “Daughter of Myth”. New are a sneak peek at the upcoming Batman and Harley Quinn (probably the same one seen on the recently released Teen Titans: The Judas Contract) and a new featurette, “What Makes a Wonder Woman”. It’s described as follows: For 75 years, Wonder Woman has resonated with audiences because of her loving nature and quest for truth. Hear some of her biggest fans and fellow creators discuss how her qualities have crafted her into the icon we know today. Link : To Go With the Film, Wonder Woman Animated Movie Gets Re-Released
