I am absolutely confused with this Wonder Woman, I have to admit that pretty much the exposure I have had of her comes from the TV show so I kind of go about thinking of what she had then as being her powers, which included having to block bullets with the bracelets, she has an invisible jet, has the power of bondage and if she spins around really fast she not only transforms into her costume but her boobs get bigger.

I liked the scene in the trailer where she's wearing a gown and the view from behind shows the hilt of her sword sticking straight up out of the back of the gown
I was like "Wait.. did she sheath her sword in her ass crack?? Hahahahahahahaha Oh god this is going to be fun.."Thanks to Batmeh v Supermeh Yawn of Justice, the "S" now stands for Sidekick -

i think that's more of a general problem with superheroes in general (except ones like Batman & Iron Man who are just humans). Sometimes she flies, sometimes she doesn't.. sometimes Superman can fix the Wall of China by staring at it, sometimes he can't.
I think we'll get more of a sense of what she's capable of as the movie goes along.

I agree but it has to start at the comic book level.
She should be a tank. Tired of this fear that Superman needs to be the toughest on the team. beep this dude.
Sorry for the profanity but tired of Jesus in red underwear.
She's the daughter of a god. The ultimate Skyfather Zeus.
Weapons should simply add to her offense against gods.
Bullets should bound off of her. -

Originally (that is, in the 1942 comics) the Amazon warriors were trained to mentally increase their physical abilities exponentially but they couldn't become bulletproof hence the bracelets. So kind of like Peter Parker after Doctor Octopus nabs Mary Jane in
Spider-Man 2

Here some info for the comic versions for wonder woman over years.
Post crisis
Wonder Woman (Diana Prince)
Universe -New EarthSuperhuman Durability: Granted by Demeter (Goddess of the Earth). Diana possesses a high resistance to damage and magical attacks. Her resistance to injury is not quite as great as any of the above mentioned metahumans. However, due to her vast threshold for pain and her amazon ability to heal at a superhuman rate, this easily makes up for the difference. She has withstood considerable bludgeoning damage in the form of hand to hand combat with metahuman opponents such as Superman and Captain Marvel. She has considerable resistance to human weaponries, though this is not absolute; Bullets can cause minor to moderate injury, but never life threatening.
Flight: Granted by Hermes (the Messenger God). Wonder Woman is capable of unassisted flight by gliding on air currents.

Flight: After being hit by a magical feather thrown by the God Hermes, Diana gained the power to fly at high speeds.

The drowning man doesn't "need" air, he just wants it then he dies.
You never "need" legs in order to walk on legs. You want legs as a consequence of wanting to walk on legs (since you can't do it without them).
"Need" is strictly a concept to inflate the human ego. "Needing" never happens in reality.
"Need" is just a fiction. As is "should", "must", "value" and "importance". -

Time to put the jr. College philosophy book away. Now you're just talking crazy
Oxygen, water, sustenance , all basic needs to support human life. There's no debate air is a need. Now cool conditioned air is a luxury and a "want", but basic oxygen to survive is an undebatable need.Thanks to Batmeh v Supermeh Yawn of Justice, the "S" now stands for Sidekick -

Nope, we could have gone extinct at any point. We don't "need" anything to support anything and we don't "need" to be alive.
If you want to support your continued survival then consequentially you want the means to do so. But we don't even "need" to be born in the first place.
The universe (molecules etc.) didn't "need" to come into existence in order for bananas to exist. That's just how we choose to think about it. "Need" is a fiction, a concept in our heads that has no counterpart in reality.
Now cool conditioned air is a luxury and a "want", but basic oxygen to survive is an undebatable need.
Nope. Surviving another minute is a luxury (depending on circumstances) and a want (depending on circumstances but usually present in organisms due to instinct).

Sorry kid, your dog eared jr college philosophy textbook has failed you.
Needs exist.
Does a car run without gas? no. it NEEDS fuel. you claiming that it's just a desire to have the engine run doesn't change the fact that it won't run without the fuel, hence it NEEDS it.
for a human to survive, they NEED oxygen. you claiming that humans don't have to survive doesn't change the fact that for a human to survive, they NEED oxygen.
I don't care what you picked up in your half a semester at the community college, you're wrong.Thanks to Batmeh v Supermeh Yawn of Justice, the "S" now stands for Sidekick -

Does a car run without gas? no.
Correct. EDIT: Although there are cars that run on other things but we'll let gas be symbolic for the sake of argument.
it NEEDS fuel.
Incorrect.
you claiming that it's just a desire to have the engine run doesn't change the fact that it won't run without the fuel, hence it NEEDS it.
Incorrect. An engine never "needs" to do anything, even exist.
for a human to survive, they NEED oxygen.
Incorrect. A human never "needs" anything, even molecules or existence. Organic life could have simply never come into existence.
you claiming that humans don't have to survive doesn't change the fact that for a human to survive, they NEED oxygen.
Incorrect. A human (in its current configuration) cannot survive without oxygen, that is true, but a human does not "need" anything in order to survive just like an engine does not "need" fuel in order to contain fuel, it contains fuel or it doesn't, a human survives or they don't.
If you want an engine to contain fuel you can't get what you want without fuel hence you consequentially want fuel. That is non-fictional. "Need" on the other hand is fictional.
The Moon can't orbit the Earth without gravity. But the Moon doesn't "need" gravity in order to orbit the Earth just like it doesn't "need" unicorns in order to be populated by unicorns, it just does orbit the Earth. If you want the Moon to keep orbiting the Earth then consequentially you want gravity to exist.
I don't care what you picked up in your half a semester at the community college, you're wrong.
I actually didn't pick this up, it just became clear to me one day over a decade ago after a lot of introspection.

it NEEDS fuel.
Incorrect.
Wrong, it NEEDS fuel if it is going to run. that is a factual reality. just like humans needing air to survive is also a factual reality.
It might be time for you to acknowledge this isn't the coffee house with your philosophy douchebags and if you're going to try conversing with other humans, understand no one is obligated to listen to your jr. college drivel claiming things like needs don't exist when it's factually proven they do.
as humans we have an understanding of reality that we can follow along with to make communication possible. if you can't understand that, then a suitable alternative would be next time you see comments that you can't converse with on a normal level, fck off. no one is impressed with you acting like a pretentious douche when it makes normal communication impossible because no one is baked enough to want to follow along with your tired pretentious tripe.Thanks to Batmeh v Supermeh Yawn of Justice, the "S" now stands for Sidekick -

No, that is human delusion. You want fuel if you want the engine to run.

No, that is human delusion. We want air in order to survive. We never "need". Not before, during or after our lifetimes.
understand no one is obligated to listen to your jr. college drivel
I never claimed anyone was "obligated" to do anything. "Obligation" is as fictional as "duty" as far as I can tell.
as humans we have an understanding of reality that we can follow along with to make communication possible. if you can't understand that
I do understand that. But I also understand it does not make our perception of reality
into
reality. Believing that "owning property" or "money" is real does not make it real, for example.
then a suitable alternative would be next time you see comments that you can't converse with on a normal level
"Normal" being self-deluded.
Also, I wasn't bringing any of this up until CichlidAsh asked me about my signature.

I don't think they've been portrayed as THAT nebulous. She's strong, fast, durable, and she has access to magic weapons. But she's not indestructible.
Getting hit with a bullet is different than getting hit with a blunt object (like Doomsday's fists). A bullet is small enough that it can pierce her skin. And at that point, blood loss will kill her (assuming she doesn't get medical attention).
