Take this one with a grain of salt, gang, as this seems to be third hand information. But according to a “DC insider” Wonder Woman is a mess.
On a recent episode of the Schmoes Know show, host Sasha Perl-Raver has insider information from someone who has seen the Gal Gadot-led superhero flick. She said the following on the subject:
“So, I don’t want to throw anyone under the bus. We have somebody within our community who has gotten insider information that broke my effing heart this week, because I have tremendous belief that Wonder Woman is gonna be awesome and I heard it stinks from the same person who told me that they heard that BvS stinks…The person who I spoke to…their response was ‘I’m very disappointed in what I saw, and it seems like all the problems are the same problems. It’s discombobulated, it doesn’t have narrative flow. It’s just very disjointed”.
This isn’t exactly the news fans want to hear. Though whether this information is reliable or not remains to be seen.
There is a lot of he said, she said going around regarding these movies (see the previous rumour of Wonder Woman being “a mess”, and the recent rumour that the script for The Batman is “a mess”) and with all the pressure on DC to deliver right now, Wonder Woman won’t be able to escape similar treatment.
We will have to wait and see however, and then judge on the evidence available.
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
Wonder Woman will hit cinemas on June 2nd, 2017 with a cast that includes Gal Gadot (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Chris Pine (Star Trek), Connie Nielsen (Gladiator), Robin Wright (House of Cards), Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything), Ewen Bremner (Snowpiercer), Said Taghmaoui (American Hustle), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Lisa Loven Kongsli (Force Majeure) and Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead).

I know it’s a rumour – and third-hand information at that- but I could buy this.
No smoke without fire, as they say. Justice League also had problems rumoured.
Gary@FlickeringMyth says
True, although while I’m a fan of the Schmoes, I can’t remember the last time one of their rumours turned out to be correct.
Seems to be at the point where you can pick a DC movie out of a hat sand say there’s problems and there’s a chance you’ll be correct. These rumours are just getting par for the course.
Luke Owen says
Pretty much. As I said on the podcast last week, I was surprised it took so long for a “Batman is a mess” rumour to go around. Even if it’s true, you’d have thought someone would have made it up long before last week!
Gary@FlickeringMyth says
My “source” down the pub has told me Green Lantern Corps and Cyborg are already a mess.
Danny Malzahn says
They haven’t even begun pre production… pls tell me this is a joke
Gary@FlickeringMyth says
Yes I am just joking. Getting in there early before a website runs with it as a scoop in a couple of years.
Timo Qvintus says
Schmoes’ sources are very iffy, but Sasha is more Collider side of that family. If it was Harloff or Ellis breaking the story, I would doubt it heavily. I don’t recall Sasha ever making a statement live and being wrong.
That being said, the movie is still many many months away. Maybe her source saw a rough cut, and further editing will fix the disjointed feeling.
Danny Malzahn says
These rumors arent even true. Wonder Woman is still wrapping up post production and The Batman doesn’t even have a script yet like Affleck said. Everyone is trying to slander D.C. because that’s the thing just like Marvel can do no wrong. BvS, MoS, and even Suicide Squad were all good movies. You want incoherent nonsense watch Terminator Genysis or Thor the Dark World or Superman IV. People have no idea what incoherent means anymore
Gary@FlickeringMyth says
The problem with rumours like these – and the reason we get so many – is that they are virtually impossible to disprove.
No one involved would come out and say that it’s a mess (unless Josh Trank is directing). If someone involved with the film comes out now and disputes it, you can argue “well, they would say that.”
Fast forward to the release and if it does turn out to be a mess, then it looks like the rumour was correct. If the film comes out and it’s good, you can say, “well it was a mess at the time, but they fixed it before the release.”
Very occasionally, such as the Fantastic Four and Suicide Squad behind-the-scenes drama, it later comes out that there is some truth to them. But the majority of the time it just goes on as an unconfirmed rumour.
The DCEU is an easy target at the minute as it seems believable based on past form, but you could pick any film and it would work just as well. Take Rogue One for example.

Until I see a DCEU movie that seems cohesive and well thought out, I’m assuming that they are all a mess. I’m hoping for the best, and expecting the worst with DC until proven otherwise.
Aimee Jo says
With Patty Jenkins at the helm I’m not concerned at all. Stop believing every so called friend of a friend bull shit.
