Wonder Woman is celebrating her 80th anniversary this year, and DC is commerating the milestone by teaming up with Warner Bros. Global Brands and Experiences and WarnerMedia by launching a global campaign called “Believe in Wonder” on International women’s Day.
The multi-month campaign celebrates the Super Hero’s message of hope and empowerment spanning across comics, commemorative books, video, fashion, and more — culminating with a global celebration of the lasso-wielding icon on Wonder Woman Day, October 21.
Fans can check out a fun “retro-remix” of the fan-favorite Wonder Woman television opening titles featuring Gal Gadot performing Lynda Carter’s signature spin. Both actresses posted the video on their social media channels. Check it out below!
The celebration also includes Wonder Woman-inspired fashion collections from designers like Camilla, Azede Jean-Pierre, and an activewear line from Venus Williams. You can shop Williams’ EleVen’s “I Am Wonder Woman” activewear line and the limited-edition collection from Australian designer Camilla now (keep going for photos). Later this month award-winning designer Azede Jean-Pierre will reveal a custom collection featuring never-before-seen artwork.

WarnerMedia will also be producing videos highlighting 80 real "Women of Wonder," from journalists to cultural figures to influencers and more who — like Wonder Woman — are advancing representation in their chosen fields and showing the world what everyday superheroes can be.
For fans who want to relive some of their favorite Wonder Woman moments from the big and small screens, HBO Max has 2017’s Wonder Woman, as well as the every season of the 1970’s TV series. Wonder Woman 1984 will release digitally on March 16 and and follows with 4K, Blu-ray and DVD releases on March 30.
