The solo Wonder Woman film dealt primarily with the origin story of Diana of Themyscira and how she became the recognizable superheroine Wonder Woman. Much of the structure of the origin story was borrowed from George Pérez's post-Crisis on Infinite Earths comics 1987 relaunch entitled "Gods and Mortals". Before screenwriter Michael Jelenic was brought on board for rewrites, the original script was written by former monthly Wonder Woman scribe Gail Simone. I will say I am very happy with this movie. It's very well done, everything from the acting to the staging. Everything. Lauren Montgomery directed this film, it isn't her job as a director, she directed the second act of Superman: Doomsday and was a storyboard artist on Justice League: The New Frontier. The story was written by Gail Simone and Michael Jelenic. Like all of the releases before it was produced by DC Comics and WB animation veteran Bruce Timm.
Once again Andrea Romano got the best in the acting world. Man, what a cast. Don't believe me? Take a look below.

Green Lantern: First Flight
Lauren Montgomery returned from Wonder Woman to direct Green Lantern: First Flight. According to Montgomery, "It’s a cop-thriller set in outer space, with very little time spent on Earth. It’s a training day sort of story where the veteran, Sinestro, space cop meets the rookie, Hal Jordan, space cop, but because the veteran has been ‘around the block’ it may have skewed his perspective a bit." The film focuses on Hal Jordan and his relationship with veteran Green Lantern Sinestro, and their relationship as pupil and teacher, until Sinestro betrays the Green Lantern Corps. (Spoiler!)
According to director Montgomery, Jordan's origin story was previously covered in the Justice League: The New Frontier film: "...we really didn't want to spend a whole lot of time telling that same story over again. So in Green Lantern: First Flight, the origin story is over and done before the opening credits."
