Comic-Con 2016 is in full swing in San Diego, and DC decided they wanted people to get their first full look at the Wonder Woman movie. One of the most redeeming qualities of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was Wonder Woman. Whenever she was on the screen she made everyone else fade into the background.

Ideally, a king has an old look, a great amount of power, and naturally rules his domain with an iron fist in literature. In the two works, Le Morte d'Arthur and First Knight see two different versions of how king Arthur is portrayed.

First Knight is told as a modern retelling of the legend and Le Morte d'Arthur is a minorly altered, much older work. While the depictions of king Arthur are seen as the paramount backbone for arthurian times, these two works have also proven to exhibit differences and similarities, illustrate Arthur’s figure in character, and serve as preservation of the time period.
