It’s no secret that director Patty Jenkins had to fight hard to fulfill her vision for DCEU first.

Given the extent of the radical difference in terms of general narrowing Wonder Woman 1984 Ended up by comparing it to its predecessor, it is interesting to think about the types of conversations that took place behind closed doors in the months leading up to its release–And what kind of conversations Jenkins and Warner Bros. might have.
