By Sebastian Martinez
Seventy-years ago an internationally renowned psychologist Dr. William Moulton Marst, created what has become the “Most popular female superhero” known today as Wonder Woman. The DC Wonder Woman film costume was inspired by the 1942 comic Wonder Woman, and it's one of WonderCostumes.com most popular DC comic costumes, available for toddler girls, and in children and adult versions, as faithfully authentic to the Wonder Woman DC film costume as possible, reminding us how timeless and powerful Wonder Woman still is today.
Wonder Woman's origin is traced to a hidden island called Paradise Island by its inhabitants, called “Amazons." On Paradise Island the Queen Hippolyta's daughter was carrying out combat training to prepare the Amazons for war; however, the only Amazon on Paradise Island that was not created by man, was Diana Prince “Wonder Woman” who was made out of clay and given life by the gods themselves. Once Wonder Woman was brought to life by the gods and by Dr. William Moulton Marst, seventy-years of popularity and prosperity followed, making Wonder Woman one of the longest-running characters ever, matched only by Superman and Batman.
It's fair to say one of the best-loved facts about Wonder Woman is the story of her beginnings, and another is her flamboyant and distinct costume.

In the record-breaking Wonder Woman movie, we also get to see the Amazons who lived with her. The film costumes were designed by Lindy Hemming, who creates for Wonder Woman the most modern and the most appealing look she has had. The outfit includes darker spots or rougher edges which could allude to the difficulty of life during WWII, which is the setting of the 2017 movie. One of the most majestic pieces of Wonder Woman's outfit is the wristband she wears. This wristband is a powerful tool the character uses to deflect and sometimes crush bullets coming at her.
In the 2017 movie “Wonder Woman” there is a scene were Diana crosses “No Man's Land," a reference to Trench warfare, a specific tactic first used in WWII. The objective of Trench warfare is to keep the soldiers in the trenches as long as possible for them to suffer all types of horrible conditions while they spent months in the trenches. Wonder Woman crossed No Man's Land with ease and cleared the way for the Allied Powers advance into German territory.
