WW maybe set in the 1920's.

[haephestus]

The people would ask... why Wonder Woman didn't show up to help Superman on the MOS events?

It's been a while since I watched Man of Steel, but from memory, Zod's attack escalated pretty quickly.

Maybe Wonder Woman didn't have time to power down Themyscira's defences and head out to help Superman fight Zod (or to attack and destroy one of the terraforming machines)? Maybe the Amazons were unsure whether Superman, an alien to Earth, could be trusted and wanted to see if he would turn against his own kind in order to protect his adopted homeworld?

Maybe Wonder Woman did show up to help, but she was busy saving citizens in Metropolis or in other cities which were being adversely impacted by the effects of the terraforming machines? Maybe the effects of the terraforming machines caused the gates to Tartarus (or some kind of prison) located on Themyscira to fail and Wonder Woman and the other Amazons were busy fighting various mythological demons, beasts and other threats and preventing them from leaving Themyscira and heading out into man's world?

I like to nitpick as much as the next person, but in this instance, I'd let Wonder Woman's whereabouts during MOS slide. For all we know, Wonder Woman was in the middle of a Sex and the City marathon with her BFFs and she wasn't about to up and leave right when Carrie was deciding between Mr Big and some other love interest.

Ladies... Am I right, fellas?

Guys. I think Wonder Woman will be immortal in this movie.

Not immortal as in not vulnerable to harm or death, but immortal as in she never ages. That's her most unique superpower- on top of being much stronger than most beings (I would say a level in between Superman and Aquaman).

I would love it if she was born in Ancient Greece with these powers and traveled the world through the ages learning and fighting for peace. That would be a cool perspective and legitimately establishes her as a major member of the Justice League. She's seen it all.

So honestly, I think the source of these rumors might be misguided. It could very well be a prequel (maybe even an origins story) but set farther back in time where there are more mysteries, superstition, and fear in the world (ancient times or Italian Renaissance). But I do believe that the structure of a trilogy set in different eras could very well be true.

I like your explanation that some sort of enchanted doorway opened in Themyscira and Diana and the Amazons were fighting mythological monsters and therefore couldn't go battle Zod. Works for me!

 

[Primal Slayer]

I'm cool with it taking place in the past, I just also hope that it takes place in the present aswell.

And as for WW not showing up for Zod, I think it is pretty simple, the Amazons probably were done with mans world once again and had no interest in getting in the middle until the very end.

Different eras and her immortality sound interesting. But it is odd how the rumour just goes from the '20s to WWII to modern times, instead of going further back to ancient times.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Hearing that WWII is suppose to be the sequel makes me very weary of this whole thing, I doubt DC even has a sequel in mind yet at this stage. And I doubt they would keep her away from present times for so long in her own movie.

The specificity of the whole "trilogy" is a big part of why I have deep doubts any of this is true in the least. I want to be as positive as I can about Gal as WW as the next guy but I doubt that they would really plan out all that without seeing the reaction the public has to her in the part yet.

 

[michael1975]

All I can do is shake my head at this. I hope this turns out to be just a rumor.

 

[HaplessHenchman]

I have my doubts as well as to if this rumor is true.

However, if it is true, I think it is an interesting angle that could work. My only concern is if it might get a bit confusing. I mean, we will see Wonder Woman in BM vs SM in 2016, then see her in her own movie in 2017 in the 1920s, then, a couple of months later in 2017, see her back in the modern era in JL. Not saying that it will be confusing just that it could be.

 

[michael1975]

My question is why? I mean Captain America Origins are heavily centered during WWII. While one could argue that so did Wonder-Woman. However Superman was too. So why not do it for him.

I think it's pointless. I think if the go that route (which I hope they don't) they are almost certain to set themselves up to people saying they are copying Marvel. I also think the majority of the audience will be confused. I don't see DC doing this it just seems like a bad movie. While I don't agree with everything they are doing this one thing I don't see them doing.

 

[Lobo]

That's a given. What else could she fight?

Off the top of my head? Medusa, Ares, Deimos, Circe, Felix Faust or Hades.

I get a bad feeling this WW won't fly.

As do I.


Anyway I'm not putting much stuck in these rumors. As of right now I'm mainly excited to see her make her big screen debut. I also have a strong feeling that Gal will win many people over.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

The only thing I could see great is to see Wonder Woman being dragged to the 1920's or WWII or whatever from the gods to stop Ares, Vandal Savage or whatever that traveled back in time to change history?... it's the only way I could see this past thing good IMO. We'll see.


The people would ask... why Wonder Woman didn't show up to help Superman on the MOS events?

Maybe something happened at the end of the WWII film which causes Diana to not trust Man's world.

OH. MY. GOD.

The Japanese Nuclear Bomb.

What if she's upset over the fact after the war was won, the American bombed Japan with a Nuclear bomb. She doesn't trust Mans world after that and goes back to Paradise Island.

 

[Loki882]

This would be an interesting idea. And it wouldn't be WWII, which is one of the most overused time-periods in fiction anyway.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Did this rumor from a rando website really need it's own thread?

 

[John Locke]

It's been a while since I watched Man of Steel, but from memory, Zod's attack escalated pretty quickly.

Yeah the time between Zod's message and Zod's death is about a day.

But the Nuclear Bomb idea is really great.

 

[Maze]

That's ... different. So, World War I somehow convinces Princess Diana to leave Themsycira to undertake some kind of mission in man's world? Is she trying to prevent another world war? Does she fail, which then leads to the sequel and World War II?

It would be interesting to see that Wonder Woman has been influencing history for almost a hundred years (and potentially even before that), but it seems like they really wanted to do a WW2 movie, but thought it would be too similar to Captain America, so are going to the aftermath of WW1 and the build up to WW2 instead.

Also, I vaguely associate women's empowerment with the circumstances surrounding WW2 and I'm not sure how interesting it will be to see Wonder Woman negotiate 1920s attitude towards women. I don't want to see Wonder Woman putting up with derogatory comments and "educating" everyone about the worth of women for the entire film.

I do like that the "time travel" element is kind of unique to Wonder Woman (with the exception of Captain America who also spans two vastly different time periods). And it will be interesting to see Wonder Woman operating covertly, although I'll miss the brightly coloured costume and public heroics. Unless Wonder Woman did operate publicly, but people just put it down to publicity stunts, theatrics or otherwise "explained" what they saw and history forgot about the "Wonder Woman" of days past. I guess there are various "legends" which reoccur throughout history and Wonder Woman could be one of them.

That could be imo a very good idea. She could see superman arrival's consequences, as a catalyst for a future war?

 

[Loki882]

Diana not appearing in MOS is actually rather easy to explain. The whole series of events that occurred from the time Zod arrived to when he died took place over like a day, maybe a day and a half. And his actual attack lasted only a few hours at most. So given that we don't know where she was or what she was doing at that time, it might be as simple as she didn't have time to get to Metropolis before the battle ended.

 

[Bullseye1]

The argument as to why WW did not appear in MoS could be made for all JL members. If you look at the solo Marvel movies they have not suffered as a result of other Avenger members not showing up in those movies.

Those two ideas combined would be great

Interesting... anciente Greece will work for Hippolyta but for WW? I never thought of the possibility

What else are we supposed to do until June 2017? t:

And for WW, someone brought up the idea that the world engine wreaked havoc on PI, inadvertently opening doom's doorway and forcing Amazons to fight all sorts of monsters and demons to save the island. They were preoccupied.

Or maybe WW and the Flash and others were off-camera, saving innocents right and left in Metropolis and around the globe.

 

[Bullseye1]

Yep or having their own battles elsewhere as a result of that was happening in MoS. We shouldn't get too hung up about lack of other Superheros not appearing in MoS.

 

[Bwahaha!]

for all we know, Zod and his friends found Kara preserved somewhere on earth and the Amazons sent soldiers to extract the female Kryptonian and bring her to PI for training (something similar happened in comics but Zod wasn't involved).

Fighting off many Khryptonians, restraining a likely confused Kara and all those epic battles would've entailed could've also kept the Amazons busy.

Tons of possibilities.

 

[Bwahaha!]

rumor alert (imagine sirens and flashing red lights, lol): another tidbit i heard is the man that visits PI in the 20's will be none other than WW's creator Marston himself...and he begins writing about Diana/WW as if she is real. So the WW comics would've existed in this DC Verse all along, with nobody realizing it was all true. Wow! Reminds me of how the novel Interview With The Vampire actually existed in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, penned by the reporter who interviewed Lestat.

Marston featured prominently in the first WW solo film? Could be quite an interesting twist. t:
