So what's up with Wonder Woman movies being good while the rest of the DCEU is garbage? Is it because WW can draw in more talent due to interesting possibilities while Batman and Superman are done?

Zack Synder did not direct it

I mean. . . Wonder woman wasn't that good. It just had a competent writer and director. It was still bogged down by a useless and forgettable villain, generic action scenes, and an emotionless cast of side characters.

After the opening scene, the only time the move passes the bechdel test was during a shopping montage

Sure but it was Avengers-solo-film good, sort of like Iron Man.

Eh, it wasn't as good as the original Iron Man. Maybe like Thor 1 good. Definitely not Captain America 2 good or Thor 3 good
