Every week (or fortnight), Weekly Wonder Woman keeps you up to date on everything involving DC Comics’ premier superheroine

We have some news about Wonder Woman 2! Or at least a very broad hint about what year it will be set in and what it might be called.

The 80s hey? They’re so hot right now.

Meanwhile, Zack Snyder has been throwing out pics from behind the scenes of his recent DCEU movies, presumably in an effort to convince everyone that his cut of Justice League would have been so much better, given he’s such a Randian superman he’s off to direct The Fountainhead next. Here’s the first ever assembling of the Trinity in-costume:

This week had two notable appearances by our Diana (that I noticed – as always, let me know if I missed any). The first was in the latest relaunch of Justice League, which now has another over-confident Snyder at its helm – Scott.

This was, as usual, a bonkersly over the top and ridiculous affair, with the Moon being blown up, 10th metal bullets containing ‘omniversal wormholes’ and powered with Green Lantern energy being targeted at guided meteors from beyond the dawn of time, Vandal Savage finally getting killed off, Legions of Evil (whatevs, fanboys) turning up and more.

However, with regards to Diana, we didn’t get a huge amount, other than a glimpse of her up to Justice League: Dark stuff, now she’s in charge of that motley group. The highlight, though, was when she joined in with the rest of the Justice League’s efforts at Batman impressions.

Yes, Diana swore!

One other thing of note was that Hera showed up and it turns out that she’s banging around with some new pals.

So, by my reckoning, that’s Highfather, Hera, one of the Guardians of Oa, the Phantom Stranger and… a bald bloke. Need a little help, here guys.

Interesting, though, no, since the Greek pantheon is missing in action. More on that after the jump, though, when we talk about this week’s other title: Wonder Woman Annual #2.

Not much news since last FWW. However, there’s now a trailer for the next DC Animated Universe movie, The Death of Superman, based on the 90s comic strip of the same name, in which Superman got clobbered by Doomsday (Ed: This is the second animated movie adaptation, on top of Batman v Superman, of that strip. Get some new ideas, DC).

Unlike the original comic, which IIRC didn’t feature any other superheroes bar Supes, this has got the rest of the Justice League in it, including our Diana (Rosario Dawson), who seems to get beaten up a lot. Hmm. Also, isn’t Superman supposed to be dating Wonder Woman as per the nu52 in the DCAU?

That’s out somewhere between July 24 and August 7 in the US, depending on whom you ask.

After the jump, let’s talk comics with the latest issues of Wonder Woman, Justice League: No Justice and The Brave and the Bold. See you in a mo!
