Tuesday night, Warner Bros. aired a half-hour special on the CW about its coming superhero movies, and one of the biggest reveals was a first look at 2017's "Wonder Woman" movie.

Starring Gal Gadot ("Fast and Furious" franchise) and Chris Pine ("Star Trek"), the film will explore the origin story of the Amazon princess.

"People don't know her origin like they know Superman's origin and Batman's origin," DC Comics chief creative officer Geoff Johns said. "So, what we want to do in the film is really tell people who she is, where she comes from, and why she does what she does."

"We're going to see her coming of age," Gadot said. "Her entire history. What's her mission."

Johns described the 75-year-old character as the "best warrior in the DC universe."

"These Amazons were once created to protect man's world, but they've since abandoned it," Johns said. "Diana's asking constantly, 'Why don't we go do what we were created to do and protect man?' And they say, 'Because they're not worth it.' This takes her on a journey into our world."

What followed was footage of Wonder Woman on horseback in a wooded area. We saw her alongside Pine's character, Steve Trevor, in costume and out of it. We also saw Gadot fighting off a few bad guys.
