Wonder Woman is one of the bright spots of Justice League. Even with all of the gloom and doom surrounding the disastrous box office performance of what was meant to be Warner Bros.’ crown jewel DC superhero team up, and the growing demand to see Zack Snyder’s completed director’s cut, Justice League does have its virtues. Chief among them is Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot).

By the end of Justice League, Diana Prince is not just one of the public faces of the new super team defending the world, but has also replaced Batman as the League’s leader. This neatly completes Diana’s macro arc in the DCEU from sheltered but courageous Amazon, to war hero, to recluse for nearly a century, to her reemergence as a superhero and now embracing a public identity as Wonder Woman.


Though fans met Diana Prince in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice while she was in the middle of her journey, Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman did the yeoman’s work establishing who Diana is and how she came to be. The only child born on Themyscira, Diana was kept unaware by her mother Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) that she was not only the daughter of Zeus but she was also the fabled Godkiller destined to kill Ares (David Thewlis). Diana was meant for greater things than remaining on Paradise Island; she was meant to save and protect the whole world, though it took her decades to fully embrace her ultimate mission.
