Unfortunately, the bonding tissue between these fights is limp, tonally unaware melodrama that loses itself to a needlessly abbreviated runtime. When Wonder Woman: Bloodlines actually clicks into place, it’s a showcase of classic Wonder Woman villains and fun action setpieces. In each of the larger sequences, there’s a clearly established geography to the battlefield, which easily sets apart most of these DC animated films from the competition.

It makes for compelling combat, and directors Sam Liu and Justin Copeland clearly know how to establish a setpiece. Sporting a New 52-inspired look, Diana dances in and around her many villains, flying and leaping with grace.

Thankfully, the bits that most audiences will come to a Wonder Woman movie to see - hard-hitting, fast-moving action - stick the landing with ease. Were they to make a more complex story that directly appealed to adults, this sort of hard-PG-13 would work, but instead the story seems ripped out of a lesser kids’ cartoon. There’s certainly a place for more mature superhero content, even in animation, but in the middle of such a plain, flat story, it's tonal whiplash.
In the midst of a fairly simple, kid-friendly story of redemption, there is harsh language and many close-ups of female characters’ butts. On top of the rushed, awkward screenplay, much of Wonder Woman: Bloodlines’ atmosphere is perplexing. It’s clearly an ambitious attempt to show the many facets of the character to an unfamiliar audience, but the story is forced to maintain such a quick pace that there’s no depth to any aspect.
In the end, the story tries to combine Diana’s complex relationship with Vanessa, her guilt about abandoning her home of Themyscira, and an endless revolving door of antagonists that eventually includes basically every famous Wonder Woman foe. RELATED: Silver Swan Strikes in Wonder Woman: Bloodlines Clip After working closely with classic Wonder Woman villains Doctor Poison (Courtenay Taylor) and Doctor Cyber (Moshan Marnò), Vanessa goes down her own, darker path, and Diana feels she must redeem her “sister.” The journey to save Vanessa leads Diana, Steve and Etta Candy (Adrienne Moore) on a back-to-basics Wonder Woman adventure as they journey across the planet, and meet a variety of established foes. Despite the less-than-solid base that Bloodlines builds upon, the relationship between Diana and Vanessa does eventually make a compelling A-story.
