Wonder Woman (not yet in Egyptian cinemas, to the nine-year-old’s chagrin) has “pounded Tom Cruise’s The Mummy to dust” in its opening weekend, Deadline reports. Wonder Woman is getting 93% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The New York Times gave it a positive note, the New Yorker is a ridiculously pretentious fan of the flick, and the Guardian simply notes that it is “a gloriously badass breath of fresh air.”
And, speaking of action heroes, Adam West, the original batman, has died at age 88. The New York Times has a nice (if short-ish) obit.
