Frank Bruni on Wonder Woman's Movie Debut


NY Times' Frank Bruni wrote a great piece about Wonder Woman's appearance in the Batman vs Superman film.

The golden part for me was this:
But around the same time that I savored this happy turn, I read some less happy news: Wonder Woman was finally en route to the silver screen — but not, alas, in a vehicle of her own. She’s slated to be an appendix to Superman and Batman in a sequel to “Man of Steel.” For all I know she’ll be zipping out to Starbucks for their lattes or the dry cleaner’s to fetch their capes. Meantime, producers scrape the bottom of the superhero barrel for male demigods to put in the foreground and the title. Just last week Variety disclosed that Paul Rudd was in talks to play “Ant-Man.” Yes, “Ant-Man.” “The Green Hornet,” “Spider-Man” — maybe Wonder Woman isn’t insect enough for the major leagues. Maybe she needs to make like a mantis.
That was truth. Please read the rest.

Question: Just watched X-Men: First Class (not for the first time) and I wondered - wouldn't Charles have been able to overcome the effects of the helmut when he was in physical contact with Erik?
