When things don’t look to be going well for Bats and Supes in their fight against Doomsday, Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince (after first appearing in plain clothes earlier on) finally turns up in full Wonder Woman armour to give them some much needed back-up.

The debut of a character who has been waiting 75 long years for a cinematic outing should bring a smile to just about any comic book fan’s face. Even composers Hanz Zimmer and Junkie XL knew how important this scene was and adorned it with the best piece of music in the whole movie. Unlike practically everything else in BvS, Wonder Woman’s thrilling debut bodes well for the future of the DC Extended Universe.
