  • In Creature Commandos, we learned that in the DCU, the Amazons of Themyscira are something the world at large is aware of. However, they are still more of an urban legend.

The article discusses how the new DC Universe (DCU) could reintroduce Wonder Woman and the Amazons in a way that revitalizes their narrative and cultural impact. It suggests that the Amazons should be portrayed not just as warriors but as a society with depth, showcasing their culture, politics, and daily life to give them a more rounded presence in the DCU. The piece argues for a focus on Wonder Woman's origin story, emphasizing her unique upbringing on Themyscira, which could serve as a foundation for exploring themes of isolation, duty, and the clash between ancient and modern worlds. It also proposes that Wonder Woman should be depicted as a diplomat and ambassador, highlighting her role in bridging the gap between humans and Amazons, thus providing a fresh perspective on her character beyond just her combat abilities. The article concludes by suggesting that this approach would not only honor the character's comic book roots but also appeal to contemporary audiences by addressing current global issues through her story.
