The Perfect Ending for Wonder Woman in DC's Tomorrowverse: An Ode to the DCEU
Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part Three, DC's most recent animated film, gives Wonder Woman a fitting ending in the Tomorrowverse, so completing her path following a violent ending in the Dceu. With the Crisis On Infinite Earths narrative, which ran four years, the Tomorrowverse came to an end and will be followed in an animated movie trilogy by 2024. Though sometimes underappreciated, the Tomorrowverse presented interesting DC comic book adaptations that vividly brought cherished heroes to life in an animated environment.
The Powerful Finale: Wonder Woman's Sacrifice in the Tomorrowverse
With such a historic comic story adaptation, the Tomorrowverse's last chapter could have potent events. This included the individuals themselves, as the Tomorrowverse came to an end key people experienced moments of glory. Wonder Woman's ending was especially more satisfying than her past Dceu timeline finale.
Justice League: Infinite Earth Crisis Wonder Woman's story in the Tomorrowverse ends dramatically and poignantly in Part Three. Wonder Woman accepts to give her life to the Miracle Machine, first shown in Legion of Super-Heroes, faced with the destruction of the multiverse and the innumerable lives at risk. Her death is a great deed of selflessness that lets her life force birth the Prime universe.
Although the last scene of the film shows a young Diana Prince, it is quite implied that this Diana is born from the combining of several Wonder Woman versions from other universes. The clear admission that this Wonder Woman is not immortal unlike her predecessor supports this even more. Still, seeing the primary Wonder Woman give her life for the greater good captures her compassion and unflinching dedication to defending others above all else.
Wonder Woman's divisive DCEU Finale: A Letdown Farewell
Wonder Woman's last DCEU performance in The Flash was greeted with criticism and let down. Not only was she reduced to a side character with little screentime and a small part in the story, but her cameo was apparently virtually totally deleted from the movie, which infuriated viewers before its release.
Wonder Woman 3's cancellation highlighted the problem even more since it became evident that Diana Prince's movie trilogy was intended to be completed. The news of DCEU's cancellation was a sour pill to chew for many fans, especially in view of Wonder Woman's scant appearance in The Flash. Talks around the possibility of DCEU's Wonder Woman moving to the DCU and director Patty Jenkins remaining hopeful about the third film for a significant period were divisive.
The Tomorrowverse Ending: The New DCU's Perfect Precurser
A moving approach to close this chapter of DC's on-screen legacy before the DC Universe's premiere is to end the Tomorrowverse with Wonder Woman's death and symbolic rebirth. The animated ending to Diana's story in the Tomorrowverse provides a blank canvas for this new age as the DCU plans to include live-action and animated releases into a single universe.
Though specifics about Wonder Woman's DCU debut are still under wraps, the news of the new DC cinematic universe including Paradise Lost - a Wonder Woman prequel set in Themyscira - and Wonder Woman villain Circe in Creature Commandos, the first release, points well for the future of the hero.
Though Wonder Woman's cinematic history is not without turbulence, the foundation set for the newest on-screen rendition of the warrior for a new age is surely set by the moving ending in Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part Three.
