Wonder Woman is more than a timely symbol. “So often superhero victories are obvious,” Patty Jenkins says in an interview with TIME. “There’s a bad guy. He’s going to kill people. O.K., fine.” But when Diana Prince first becomes Wonder Woman, she does so to end a pointless, entrenched battle. Says Jenkins: “It was much more symbolic of ‘I say no to what you all are doing, how you all are living your life. I still love you. I’m still engaged with you. I still understand it’s complicated. But I say no to this. To shooting people from afar who you cannot see, I say no.’”
