8 Burning Questions We Have After Watching Wonder Woman

In Wonder Woman, the DCEU finally has a movie that's universally adored as well as one that's raking in a massive amount of cash. One of the big strengths of the film is that it cuts out nearly all of the connections to the wider universe that often left us scratching our heads in the likes of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. By focusing on simply and effectively telling Diana of Themyscira's origins, it was able to be a much more satisfying film that told a complete story.

4) What Are The Extent Of Diana’s Powers?

Speaking of Diana’s defeat of Ares, the God of War’s demise comes from the Amazon finally unleashing the full potential of her demigoddess powers. As Ares attacks her with his lightning, Diana raises above the ground as her bracelets suck up the lightning and then shoot it back at him, utterly destroying him.

It’s an amazing display of her abilities, but it does leave us wondering if Wonder Woman has yet unlocked the full extent of her powers. For instance, can she actually fly? The character traditionally can, but we only see Diana pull off the old ‘leap tall buildings in a single bound’ move in the film. That said, her floating ability does suggest we might see her soaring through the clouds with Supes in Justice LeagueOr will the movies limit that power so as not to step on the Man of Steel’s toes?

It should be interesting to see how much of her goddess potential Diana can unlock. She didn’t seem all that more powerful in Batman V Superman than she is here, so perhaps the reveal of her true parentage won’t make too much of a difference. If she wanted to, though, we have a sneaky feeling Diana could beat even Superman.
