I'm sure that to some, it will seem strange that a superhero is being held up as an "accurate portrayal" of women. But in her acceptance speech, Gadot says what we already knew. Diana Prince may be an Amazon, but there's a reason why she spoke to so many women, why audiences of all genders connected with her.

Tiffany Haddish won Best Supporting Actress at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards and her acceptance speech is one of the greatest speeches–one of the greatest awards show moments, really–of recent history, if not ever.

Without a doubt one the biggest movies to come out this year was Wonder Woman. Patty Jenkins fought against rumors of a chaotic set, delays and the general doubt that a female-led superhero movie, and a DC movie at that, could be good. Yet, Woman Woman went on to become the most successful film the DCU.

The 2018 Golden Globe nominations are out, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has yet again failed to nominated a woman for Best Director.

Here's who TIME found influential this year, for better or for worse.

With Wonder Woman still being the DCEU's biggest financial and critical success in their movie universe, while other upcoming projects are uncertain there is no doubt that Wonder Woman 2 is happening.

If you're not a big comics reader, it's totally understandable that you might be wondering what all the fuss is about some colorful jewels and Thanos' big gauntlet to collect 'em all. The Marvel movies have included and teased the gems before, but this is when they'll really come into play.

Batgirl is a symbol that belongs to everyone, particularly to women, girls, and anyone on the female side of the spectrum who needs a hero in which they can see her/themselves. Joss Whedon isn't the voice we need to be hearing on this right now. Here are five women who could be.

Kreayshawn made our day with the coolest shout-out to The Mary Sue's Rejection Hotline we can imagine.

Gal Gadot clearly has no problem speaking up when she doesn't agree with the way Wonder Woman is depicted. And when it comes to how she was introduced in 'Batman v Superman,' she definitely doesn't agree. After leaving Themyscira and saving humanity in WWI, why would she have then, "walked away from mankind?" Short answer: she wouldn't.

As we work towards creating healthier and safer workplaces for women in their industries, Hollywood has a question it needs to answer: are they going to support more women?

Patty Jenkins is Variety's "Power of Women L.A." issue cover subject, with very good reason. She recently signed on to helm Wonder Woman 2 for Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, garnering the highest-paying deal given to any female filmmaker.

Even when world events seem at their bleakest, humanity must've done something right for us to have Gal Gadot.

James Cameron was asked to address his previous comments on Wonder Woman and I wish his response was even a little surprising.

"From the studio known for confusing length with depth, complexity with intelligence, and self-absorbed downers with heroism, the DCEU pulls off its biggest success by ... not doing those things."

Patty Jenkins has officially signed on to take the helm of the Wonder Woman sequel. IT'S ALL HAPPENING. IT'S. ALL. HAPPENING!!!

Merciful Minerva! Our lady Diana can't be stopped: with a domestic box office now over $409 million, Wonder Woman's haul is has left every other superhero movie biting her dust save four.
