7. A Stellar Supporting Cast
It wasn’t until this movie that I truly realized how flimsy the supporting casts have been in the last few DC movies.
Suicide Squad has NO real supporting cast by virtue of trying to make every character a main one; BvS has Lois, I guess. And maybe you can count Wonder Woman, but everyone else is a glorified cameo. Man of Steel gets Lois again; Perry; that soldier guy whose name you’ll only remember if you look it up; and Zod’s henchmen, none of whom have both personality and an arc.
It was a problem even before the DCEU. I dare you to name one minor character in either Green Lantern or Jonah Hex who is at all memorable.
But Wonder Woman SHINES with supporting players. Robin Wright is a straight-up badass as Antiope; Lucy Davis is charming and lovable as Etta Candy; and Elena Anaya turns in a chilling and haunting performance as Dr. Poison, a villain who still chills my spine days later. Steve Trevor’s team is also great, with a really wonderful performance by Saïd Taghmaoui as Sameer as its anchor. Seriously, I need to see him in more things. Also, this movie utilizes the seriously underused Ewen Bremner to amazing lengths. I was delighted to see him onscreen, and I hope he gets more high profile appearances in the future.
