The DC Universe’s portrayal of Wonder Woman is set to receive its own prequel series titled Paradise Lost, offering DC an opportunity to delve into aspects of her origins that were overlooked by the DCEU.

While some fans held onto hope for a Wonder Woman 3 film, including the original Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter, it’s evident that the DCU is moving forward with a fresh take on Diana Prince. This new iteration of Wonder Woman’s narrative will reportedly venture into uncharted territory, distinct from what the DCEU explored.

Paradise Lost has been likened to Game of Thrones, hinting at the possibility of incorporating political intrigue alongside superheroics. While Gal Gadot’s portrayal of Wonder Woman touched upon this realm, it appears that the DCU will provide more extensive exploration into her origins compared to the previous cinematic universe.

Wonder Woman hails from a realm steeped in Greek mythology. While the DCEU touched upon her homeland of Themyscira and made references to Greek deities, the majority of the narrative unfolded in the human world. Even Ares, the ancient Greek god of war, appeared predominantly in human form during his screen time in the DCEU. However, this portrayal barely scratches the surface of the rich mythological world typically associated with Wonder Woman in DC Comics.

In the years following her introduction, Wonder Woman’s origins and her ties to Greek mythology have been extensively explored in DC Comics. She is depicted as the queen of the Amazons, a group of mythological warriors, and the daughter of the Greek god Zeus. Additionally, Wonder Woman shares connections with other prominent figures from Greek mythology, such as the Argonaut, Jason, who is revealed to be her twin brother. These intricate ties to mythology align perfectly with the direction that the DCU has announced for its inaugural phase of movies.
