Wonder Woman’s Boston roots show on the big screen

Wonder Woman’s Boston roots show on the big screen Wonder Woman’s Boston roots show on the big screen was searching for inspiration for her “Wonder Woman” movie. It was to be DC Comics’ first major superhero film starring a woman, much less directed by one, and the first time Wonder Woman starred in her own big-screen story. Most of the population knew the character from Linda Carter’s high-camp 1970s TV show. Jenkins wanted the film, which opens nationwide on Friday, to be different: epic and beautiful, as lush as an oil painting, with a color palette for each of the film’s four very different major acts.
