Though she really doesn’t look a day over 30, Wonder Woman turns 75 this year, and DC Entertainment will be pulling out all the stops in San Diego. It’s going to start with #WonderWomanWednesday and just keep going all through Comic-Con.
At the DC Booth (#1915), fans will get previews of new Wonder Woman toys, figures, and collectibles including an Art of War statue designed by Amanda Conner (Harley Quinn) and a lot more than that. But DC will also use the booth as an exhibition for the various costumes of Wonder Woman. Last year, Gal Gadot’s costume from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was featured in a display case; this year, many more costumes from many Amazons (and probably Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor) will be available for your viewing pleasure. That’s both from the Wonder Woman feature coming in June 2017 AND Lynda Carter’s costume from the live-action television series. Still no confirmation on whether or not Cathy Lee Crosby’s costume from the first Wonder Woman TV movie will be on display.
(Side trivia question: on which Saturday morning cartoon, predating both Wonder Woman pilots, did the amazing Amazon make her television debut?)
If the crowd on the Exhibit Hall floor is too much for you, how about the corner of Island and 6th? That’s where Wonder Woman’s invisible jet will be “seen” for the first time. DC Entertainment unveils it on Wednesday night, promising that it will illuminate at night, and fans will be able to take a photo in the pilot seat. There will also be an art installation, featuring pieces created live onsite and inspired by both Wonder Woman’s history and the upcoming film.
Comic-Con won’t be the end of the celebration, of course, but it makes for a heck of a start. You can also review Wonder Woman’s history in the video below, released today by DC All Access:
