This first post by DC Films on social media giant Weibo, aimed at a Chinese audience, promoted Wonder Woman with a translation of the phrase "With great power must come great responsibility"

Naturally, this sent both Marvel and DC fans into a tizzy over their appropriation of Spider-Man's well-established catchphrase

Lesson learned? Well, a subsequent post was targeted at women as China approaches a Valentine's Day-equivalent celebration, which encouraged ladies to "go to the beach and find a boyfriend".

Again, causing an outcry from fans who saw it as disrespectful, not very Wonder Woman, and kicking off a response to "go to the beach and skip the movie".

Both posts have since been pulled due to the backlash….
