Even if you haven't seen Wonder Woman yet (and what are you waiting for?!), it's been impossible to avoid the buzz surrounding the movie.
Not only is it the first major superhero movie to be directed by a woman, but it also smashed box office records (it had a $100.5 million opening weekend), is rated 92% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and quickly became the most tweeted-about movie of 2017.

And, if all ~that~ wasn't enough, Forbes reported on Friday that the movie had earned over $500 million worldwide, making Patty Jenkins the fourth-ever female director to pass that mark.
