Wonder Woman was a neighborhood hero when I was a kid. Especially to the girls. Not only could she take care of herself and take down bad guys twice her size, she could deflect bullets with her jewelry and she piloted an invisible plane! She was our hands-down favorite comic book and TV superhero.

In a few short months, the new Wonder Woman movie will be coming out and we're starting to get some hints about what to expect:

• The director is a woman. Patty Jenkins, who directed the chilling real-life tale Monster finally gets a shot at directing a superhero movie. (She was supposed to direct Thor: The Dark World a few years ago, but it didn't work out.)
• Greek mythology will play a big role in the story. Though it makes up much of the superhero's own mythology, the Amazon Princess' background has been lacking in other screen projects.  
• The film will be released before Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - for good reason. I won't reveal any spoilers, but let's just say the two stories hook up in the end.
