I've come to enjoy the weirdness of the flow of time in DC's current film series. With 2013's Man of Steel, we see a young Clark Kent on his journey to become Superman interspersed with scenes of Clark's childhood and, later, a vision of an apocalyptic future ruled by Krypton's General Zod. Its 2016 follow up Batman v. Superman takes things further, with Bruce Wayne's past and present trauma and fear of the future blending together to form a film that's both literally and figuratively composed of dreams upon dreams, with objective reality often kept at arm's reach.
We're first introduced to Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) in a supporting role in BvS, playing a sort of dejected caretaker. She's disillusioned with the world of mankind, having witnessed a "century of horrors." Once everything goes nuts in the final act and the world's at risk, she steps back into the ring and rediscovers her inner strength, taking her place in what looks to be a pantheon of new gods: Truth (Wonder Woman), Justice (Superman), and the American Way (Batman, the insecure rich guy terrified of outsiders)
