Beforehand, "Batman: Gotham Knight" was my favorite of the three, embracing the darkness and vision of the Nolan films, since I felt that "Superman Doomsday" could have been a little more faithful to the story and not so hung up on being a quasi-sequel to "Superman: The Animated Series", and that "Justice League: New Frontier" was lacking overall. I can say that "Wonder Woman" is the best of them all, far and away. The story doesn't insult the audience, updates the elements in an intelligent manner, and still provides strong characters while not being condescending, insulting, or cartoonish to any viewer. But for me, what really makes this movie is Keri Russell's voice work. Her version of Wonder Woman is far and away the definitive animated version - feminine enough, yet still projecting strength for the most part and showing enough vulnerability to create the right balance for this 21st century version of Diana. I agree that if you haven't watched this film, do so as soon as you can. I got the DVD the first week of release, since I’ve seen the previous DC Universe DVDs.
