As if “Wonder Woman” didn’t have enough weight on its shoulders with the hopes of being the first DC Films project to resonate with both moviegoers and critics, it’s also the first female-led superhero movie, with a woman behind the camera. It’s a high bar to reach, but Patty Jenkins has surrounded herself with no shortage of talent to help her make a hit.
