In the span of the last two issues, Batgirl and the Birds of Prey went from being "meh" to being actually pretty darn good.

Wonder Woman Trailer!!!
Looks like Gal Gadot hit the gym.
Warrior women! NuKirk! A shout-out to the 1979 Superman! Shiny costume! Another Wonder Woman panty shot (this one even less subtle than the one in BvS)! That beautiful 7/8 guitar riff!
...um, that comic relief character at the end... (please don't let her ruin the movie please don't let her ruin the movie please don't let her ruin the movie)
This movie's gonna make or break the DCCU - I refuse to call it the DCEU, or "extended" universe, so long as it refuses to acknowledge the existence of the TV shows (which it can't do now because it has two different actors playing KGBeast, the Flash, and Deathstroke). Right now my money's on "make." Certainly thought this was a better trailer - and hinted at more of the plot - than The Force Awakens could be bothered to do.
On that note, y'all remember The Backstroke of the West? Somebody bought a pirated copy of the third nonexistent Star Wars film, Revenge of the Sith*, in Shanghai. With Chinese translations. Which were then translated back to English. Hilarity ensued.
*to be entirely honest, Sith is actually better than Jedi, metal bikini notwithstanding.
Anyway, somebody decided to reproduce it, by translating Return of the Jedi to Chinese and then back to English. The result is Hopeless Situation Return. Featuring an evangelical C-3P0 and transgender twins.

So is Arrow going back to being Batman with Archery?
Because joining the cast is Talia al-Ghul, famous for being Bruce Wayne's #2 love interest (after Selina "Catwoman" Kyle) and also the mother of his son Damian "Robin V" Wayne. (Yes, there were five frickin' Robins in the pre-Flashpoint continuity.)

Image of the Week: Pearl Harbor and the Fog of War
I follow a lot of naval history accounts, so this "Japanese map showing their assessment of the damage done to the United States flee...
