Superhero Movie

As with almost every superhero fan I know, I fell in love with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in last year’s “Captain America: Civil War.” As such, despite some recent lackluster attempts at Spider-Man movies, I was extremely excited for Holland’s solo outing, even though Spider-Man is not one of my more beloved superheroes.

Wonder Woman is one of two superhero films to have a female director. Yet, female superheroes have impacted the world both socially and culturally, while also being a source of feminism, more specifically liberal feminism.

Background Comic books were in the groove in the 30’s and 40’s. After DC Comics published Superman in 1938, stories of mean, costumed superheroes battling criminals and enemies of the United States arose.
