(Edit: I think I was overly concerned, Things are getting better after all)
When I watched Suicide Squad trailer, I found this.

Seems everybody is excited to see Harley on the big screen,
While there aren't many people expecting WW in BVS's comment section on Youtube.
When I looked throungh reddit, I found that besides males, many girls also love Harley, but not WW.
Here's a strange comment I found, from a girl--:
"Harley is a hell yes. Since she hasn't really been done recently, i think she will be hard to mess up. Also, i think this one would be fun to cosplay. Suicide Squad generally looks like a grungy, haggard movie that will be refreshing. Tired of all the Hollywood pretty.
Wonder Woman is going to be a crying shame, just watch. I bet she's only there for eye candy. She's like Black Widow was in The Avengers. Waaaah wah. I think she's competition against X Men's sex appeal. We shall see..."--
I found it really weirld, Harley's costume is way more sexier than WW's, she's wearing hot pants, stilettos, And she's a mortal, isn't that impractical?
But it seems that girls just don't care, and they love cosplaying her--but there were many compaints about WW's costume being impractical, even she's an Amazon and a goddess, and think she's an eye candy for men.
Seems that WW just can't get much love from girls, Is she really a character designed in favor of men? I'm curious.
Many people wanted WW to be perfect, but even her most praised comics didn't sell much. Let alone in real life, it's nearly impossible to find a perfect actress for her. I've already seen many complaints about Gal Gadot.
While in case of Harley, she dosen't have to be muscular, tall and desexualized--just be pretty, sexy, and kick-ass.
I'm not here complainting about Harley, I love her, it's many people's reaction to WW that bugs me.
Now I'm feeling anxious for WW, and her 2017 film, hope DC/Warners can find a way to make her popular.
