In Wonder
Woman: Warbringer Leigh Bardugo proposes a new Wonder Woman Origin
story different from the movie but in many ways still the same. In this one
even though Princess Diana is still immortal she is just a teenage. A teenage
who doesn't fit in with the rest of the Amazon's as she didn't she didn't get
to the Island the same way the rest of them did. She hasn't done anything to
earn that respect is what many of them think, all but Maeve. The rest she her
as just the daughter of their queen.
When a mortal
girl Alia Keralis washes up on the beach, Diana discovers that she's not just
any girl. She's a war bringer. Descendant of Helen of Troy, destined to bring
about the end of the world. But there is away to stop it. But Diana and Alia
are going to have to work together in order to stop it. It's a journey that
will take them from Diana's island to New York and finally to Greece. Diana
must do all of this in secret and quickly because if she doesn't the world is
destroyed but if she succeeds and is found out she faces exile.
I enjoyed this version
of Wonder Woman's origin story. It's nice to image her as a teenager. It's a
nice twist on what we normally get with the TV show, comics and now the movie.
But the WWI aspect of the movie was still different than them doing another
WWII origin story.
Wonder Woman:
Warbringer is the first in
a four book series (at least) called DC Icons that gives us background and
origins of four DC heroes or villains. Batman: Nighwalker by
Marie Lu, Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas
and a Superman one by Matt de la Pena. I enjoyed the fact the Wonder woman
was the first one, she's my favorite superhero.
