Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman has been mentioned in the Arrowverse to some degree. When Barry visits Earth-2 about halfway through the second season, the overwhelmed meta receives a phone call from his dead mother. When he picks up the phone, a list of quick dials can be seen, which includes Diana among a few others. That’s Diana Prince for you, better known as the Amazonian Wonder Woman.
Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman had a relatively small role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and while it didn’t show her inner struggle, it did beautifully capture her powers. In fact, Wonder Woman ended up being one of the movie’s strongest points. We’ll see how the DCEU tackles the story of Diana Prince, but from what we’ve seen so far, the movie adaptation most certainly looks promising.
If there’s anything The CW can take away from all of the reactions to her film thus far, it’s that Wonder Woman needs to be handled with care and passion. Don’t focus solely on her heroic side, but also capture the fact that she is a conflicted and fragile being, without ever putting too much focus on one single aspect. The network has done a solid job doing so for their other heroes, so why not give the Amazon Princess a fair shot?
