Theatrical releases
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a 2016 American superhero film and the second installment of the DC Extended Universe. It is also the first live action theatrical film to feature Wonder Woman as well as her secret identity, Diana Prince. In late 2013, Zack Snyder cast Gal Gadot in the role over Élodie Yung and Olga Kurylenko.[1][2][3][4] Some fans initially reacted to this choice by criticizing Gadot's appearance.[5] Snyder would later comment on his decision to cast Gadot, stating that he
tested a bunch of actresses, as you can imagine. But the thing with Gal is that she's strong, she's beautiful, and she's a kind person, which is interesting, but fierce at the same time. It's that combination of being fierce but kind at the same time that we were looking for.[6]
Gadot described Diana as having "the heart of a human so she can be emotional, she's curious, she's compassionate, she loves people. And then she has the powers of a goddess. She's all for good, she fights for good."[7] She also said that Diana has "many strengths and powers, but at the end of the day she's a woman with a lot of emotional intelligence".[8] Gadot underwent a diet and training regimen, practiced different martial arts and gained 17 pounds of muscle for the role.[9][10] Gadot was previously offered a different role (as a villain) in Man of Steel, which she declined because she was pregnant at the time; this allowed her to later be cast as Wonder Woman in the film's follow-up.[11] Gadot signed a three-picture deal.[3] She was only paid a base salary of $300,000 for the movie itself.[12]
Wonder Woman (2017)
Gadot reprised the role in 2017's Wonder Woman, the fourth installment in the DC Extended Universe and Wonder Woman's first theatrical solo film.[7] The film is directed by Patty Jenkins, with a screenplay by Allan Heinberg, from a story by Heinberg, Zack Snyder, and Jason Fuchs, and co-stars Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis, Connie Nielsen, and Elena Anaya. Jenkins' role as director makes her the first female director of a studio superhero movie.[13]
Set in 1918, the film tells the story of Princess Diana, who grows up on the Amazon island of Themyscira. After American pilot Steve Trevor (Pine) crashes offshore of the island and is rescued by Diana, he tells her about the ongoing World War. She then leaves her home in order to end the conflict, becoming Wonder Woman in the process. Development for the film began in 1996, with Jenkins signing on to direct in 2015. Principal photography began on November 21, 2015, with filming taking place in the United Kingdom, France, and Italy before wrapping up on May 9, 2016, the 123rd birthday of the creator, William Moulton Marston. Additional filming took place in November 2016.
Wonder Woman premiered in Shanghai on May 15, 2017, and was released in the United States on June 2, 2017, in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D. It received largely positive reviews, with critics praising the direction, performances, action sequences and musical score. The film set records for the biggest domestic opening for a female director ($103.3 million), the biggest opening for a female-led comic book film, the highest grossing female-directed live-action film and the highest-grossing superhero origin story domestically. It has grossed over $812 million worldwide, making it the tenth highest-grossing film of 2017.[14]
Justice League (2017)
Months after the events of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice[15] and inspired by Superman's sacrifice for humanity, Batman and Wonder Woman assemble a team of metahumans consisting of Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg to face the catastrophic threat of Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons who are on the hunt for three Mother Boxes on Earth (in Themyscira, Atlantis and Victor Stone himself).[16][17]
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
By June 2017, Geoff Johns and Patty Jenkins had begun work on the story treatment for a Wonder Woman sequel.[18] By July, Johns announced that he is working on the script for the film.[19] That same month, the sequel was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con.[20] By August, Jenkins was in final negotiations to return as director,[21] officially signing the deal a month later, with confirmation that Gadot will be returning as the title character.[22] By September, Jenkins brought on David Callaham to pen the script with her and Johns.[citation needed] The film is reported to take place in the Cold War.[23] Patty Jenkins reported online, that the film will be another great love story with a new love interest being cast.[24] Pre-production began in early December, 2017, according to director Patty Jenkins, with filming scheduled to start in June 2018, under the working title, "Magic Hour."[25][26] Production will be returning to Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in the United Kingdom.[27] By February 2018, Kristen Wiig had entered early negotiations to portray the film's primary antagonist, Barbara Ann Minerva / Cheetah.[28][29] Wonder Woman 1984 is scheduled to be released in North America on June 5, 2020.[30]
Television
Wonder Woman (1974) and Wonder Woman (1975–79)
The title Wonder Woman refers to both the 1974 television film and its 1975-1979 spin-off television series. The 1974 television film, directed by Vincent McEveety and starring Cathy Lee Crosby, was a pilot for an intended television series being considered by ABC. Ratings were described as "respectable but not exactly wondrous," and ABC did not pick up the pilot.[31] Instead, Warner Brothers and ABC developed a different Wonder Woman television concept that fit the more traditional presentation of the character as created by William Moulton Marston, turning away from the 1968–72 era that had influenced the pilot. Wonder Woman, which premiered in 1975, starred Lynda Carter and eventually led to the Wonder Woman TV series. Crosby would later claim that she was offered the chance to reprise the role in that series.[32]
Smallville
Wonder Woman is mentioned in Smalliville episodes "Warrior" and "Fortune", and later appears in season eleven comics. In "Warrior", Lois goes to a comic book convention and wears a costume highly similar to Wonder Woman's. She also clarifies that the outfit is supposed to represent an Amazon princess. Warrior Angel's emblem seems similar to Wonder Woman's logo. In "Fortune", Chloe mentions how she encountered other heroes while she was away and she mentioned how she encountered "a wondrous woman who's gonna throw you for a loop". A vision in "Hourglass" shows a brief glimpse of Wonder Woman's tiara. Her bracelets can also be seen on a skeleton (presumably Wonder Woman's).
The Flash
Diana Prince is mentioned in The Flash episode "Welcome to Earth-2".
Batwoman
Kate mentioned Wonder Woman in the Batwoman episode "The Rabbit Hole".
Abandoned projects
- Who's Afraid of Diana Prince: A proposed 1967 television series, that only resulted in the production of a short pilot.[33] The success of the Batman television series led Batman producer William Dozier to commission a pilot script by Stan Hart and Larry Siegel. Batman writer Stanley Ralph Ross was then asked to perform a re-write, after Hart and Siegel's script was deemed unsuitable.[34][35] A portion of the pilot, under five minutes in length, was filmed by Greenway Productions, the company behind the Batman show under the title Who's Afraid of Diana Prince?[36] The piece starred Ellie Wood Walker (Robert Walker Jr.'s wife) as Diana Prince, Linda Harrison as Diana's Wonder Woman alter ego and Maudie Prickett as Diana's mother. In the proposed series Diana Prince (not Wonder Woman) would have been the focus of the comedy. Diana, an awkward and rather plain young woman, lives with her mother close to a United States Air Force base. Much of the film consists of her mother berating Diana about not having a boyfriend. When her mother leaves the room, Diana changes into her Wonder Woman costume and admires her reflection in a mirror. What she sees is not Diana Prince, but rather a sexy super-heroic figure (played by Linda Harrison) who proceeds to preen and pose as the song "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" plays on the soundtrack. The pilot ends with Diana climbing out a window and flying away, indicating that, despite her apparent delusions regarding her alter ego, she does have some super powers.[37] This pilot episode was never broadcast and the project was abandoned.
- Wonder Woman: Reports surfaced in October 2010 that Warner Bros. Television was teaming with writer-producer David E. Kelley to pitch a new Wonder Woman television series to networks.[38] The major networks all turned down the series,[39] but NBC, the final network to initially pass on the project, announced that they had ordered a pilot on January 21, 2011. In February 2011, Jeffrey Reiner was hired to direct the pilot.[40] A few days later, it was announced that Adrianne Palicki was selected to play the title role.[41] Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter pointed out that the costume was causing a divide, with many exclaiming it was "too trashy and too bad porn-y".[42] Warner Bros. later changed the costume, replacing the blue boots and rubbery pants, due to fan criticism.[43] But in the episode "Gorilla My Dreams" of Kelley's show Harry's Law, Erica Durance (best known as Lois Lane from the television series Smallville) as Annie Bilson, wears the original costume now with red boots.[44][45] Elizabeth Hurley and Tracie Thoms were also cast as villain Veronica Cale and Diana's personal assistant, Etta Candy, respectively.[46] Pedro Pascal was cast as Ed Indelicato, Wonder Woman's liaison to the police department and Cary Elwes as Henry Detmer, who runs the day-to-day operations of Diana's company.[47][48] Actor Justin Bruening was cast to play Steve Trevor.[49] The plot was "a reinvention of the iconic DC Comic in which Wonder Woman – aka Diana Themyscira – is a vigilante crime fighter in L.A., but also a successful corporate executive and a modern woman, trying to balance all of the elements of her extraordinary life."[50] After watching the pilot, television critic Alan Sepinwall described it as "embarrassing ... [I]t was all I had feared, and more".[51] Writing about the show for Flickering Myth in 2017, Neil Calloway said "it has its moments ... [B]ut it was probably dated in 2011 ... We didn't really lose anything by it not being commissioned into a series."[52] On May 12, 2011, NBC announced that it would not be picking the project up for a series.[53]
- Amazon: In 2012, The CW, Warner Bros. Television and DC Comics announced that they were developing a new origin story for Wonder Woman called Amazon.[54][55][56] In early 2013, the network pushed the pilot back until the 2014/15 season.[57] On May 16, 2013, The CW announced that the show was still in development, with a new script by Aron Eli Coleite, replacing Allan Heinberg, who wrote the previous script for the planned pilot.[58] However, in July 2013 The Flash, by Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg was fast-tracked instead. Pedowitz confirmed that "Amazon is on pause (as) the script is not exactly what we wanted, and with an iconic character like Wonder Woman, we have to get it right."[59] In January 2014, Pedowitz told The Hollywood Reporter that the project was no longer in development: "We did not go forward with it [...] it all depends on the script. We were very careful with Arrow, and we're being very careful with Flash [...] these are iconic characters, so we're going to be very careful with Wonder Woman. You only get one shot before you get bit."[60] In August 2017, Pedowitz confirmed that the CW had "no plans to redevelop Amazon at this point" due to the success of the 2017 feature film.[61]

Television
The Brady Kids (1972)
Wonder Woman's first appearance on television was as a guest in an episode of The Brady Kids cartoon series in 1972, entitled "It's All Greek to Me" (voiced by Jane Webb). The Brady kids meet Diana Prince/Wonder Woman and together they find themselves accidentally transported back to the time of the Ancient Olympic Games. The kids plan to compete in the marathon and beat the Greek athletes to qualify for the race. Wonder Woman convinces the kids to disqualify themselves, explaining that if they win the race they will change the course of history.[77] (Wonder Girl had already appeared in a series of Teen Titans cartoon shorts which was part of The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure cartoon show in 1967.)[78] Filmation was planning a "Wonder Woman" pilot among other DC related projects.[79]
Super Friends (1973–1986)
Wonder Woman appeared in Super Friends, Hanna-Barbera's Saturday morning animated series. She was originally voiced by Shannon Farnon and later by Connie Caulfield in Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, followed by B.J. Ward in The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians.
Superman (1988)
Wonder Woman guest starred in the Superman episode, "Superman and Wonder Woman versus the Sorceress of Time" wherein she and Superman battle a sorceress named Cyrene. BJ Ward lent her voice to the female antagonistic character in this episode.[80][failed verification]
Her appearance is notable for being the first and, until her DC animated universe incarnation, only Post-Crisis animated version of Wonder Woman. Besides possessing the power of flight and no longer having either an invisible plane or high-heel boots, she had wavy hair more in line with George Pérez’s Post-Crisis interpretation of her. Like in the Super Friends series, her back was fully exposed.
Wonder Woman and the Star Riders (1993)
In 1992, Mattel planned a line of toys for girls with Wonder Woman leading a new cast of four female characters. Two had been previously established: Dolphin in 1968 and Ice in 1988. The other two were new characters invented for the series. Solara had sun-based fire powers while Starlily had earth-based plant powers. "Wonder Woman and the Star Riders" had the subtitle "Sparkling super heroines!" They were to be pitted against the villainess Purrsia (who has animal control abilities) and her mount, Panthera.
An announcement for an accompanying animated series was made during the 1993 Toy Fair, however a pilot was never produced beyond character designs and storyboards.[81] A few test samples for the toy line were developed, as well as a short comic book story which would have been packaged with the figures. A mini comic was distributed as a breakfast cereal premium.[82] Artwork has since been published in Les Daniels' 2000 book, Wonder Woman: The Complete History. The cancelled toy designs were recycled as part of the Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic toy line.
All the Star Riders ride winged horses, and Wonder Woman herself rides a winged unicorn named Nightshine.[83]
DCAU
DC Animated Universe (DCAU) refers to the shared universe centered on a group of animated television series based on DC Comics, produced by Warner Bros. Animation from the early 1990s to the mid-2000s; beginning with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992 and ending with Justice League Unlimited in 2006.[84][85] Some parts of the associated media franchise including direct-to-video feature films and shorts, comic books, video games and other multimedia adaptations are also included in the continuity.
Justice League (2001–2004) and Justice League Unlimited (2004–2006)
Justice League was the first chance to add Wonder Woman (voiced by Susan Eisenberg) to the DCAU, as the rights had been previously tied up in possible movies and television series.
To introduce her into a universe already populated by long-experienced heroes like Batman and Superman, Bruce Timm and his team took a cue from George Pérez's newcomer-to-man's-world Post-Crisis interpretation. This Diana started off completely innocent and ignorant of man's world. As with the Pérez version, she neither keeps a secret identity nor has an invisible plane (although in the Justice League Unlimited first-season episode "For the Man Who Has Everything", she unveils the plane). Also in this series, her traditional bullet proof bracelet cuffs became bullet proof vambraces (i.e., forearm armor). However, perhaps as a nod to her Pre-Crisis appearance, she has straight hair and high-heeled boots suggestive of her old Super Friends incarnation. Also, her lasso did not compel truthfulness until the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Balance" in which Hippolyta activated her true power.
Her initial personality consisted of a strict adherence to Amazonian dogma (prompting some of her teammates, especially the more brash and headstrong Hawkgirl, to react to her attitude by calling her "Princess" somewhat disdainfully). Noticeable though is the effect of Man's World on Diana. Her first appearances are marked by her reflexively acting off of Amazonian ideology (in "Fury", she questions how necessary men really are), but as time passes, she becomes more interested in men (in particular, Batman, with whom she has a flirtatious and possibly romantic relationship) and experiences the emotional excesses of man's world, as compared to the Amazons (who are portrayed as somewhat stoic if not emotionally stunted). Batman's affections for Wonder Woman, however, are somewhat confirmed in the Unlimited episode "This Little Piggy", where he admits his feelings to Zatanna when requesting her help in changing Diana back (she was turned into a pig by Circe). Batman's and Wonder Woman's mutual feelings are implicated in the JLA episode "The Brave and the Bold", when Wonder Woman manages to stop a missile crashing into Gorilla City. When the weight of the missile head crushes her, Batman rushes to the site and attempts to clear the rubble while everyone else is too stunned by Wonder Woman's possible death to help. However, Wonder Woman is found unhurt, and when she sees Batman's gloves covered in dirt in his attempt to save her, she kisses him on the cheek. Batman and Wonder Woman share a kiss in the Justice League season finale "Starcrossed" (they kissed in order to hide their faces from Thanagarian patrol). In the episode "Kid's Stuff", Wonder Woman, in her eight-year-old form (voiced by Dakota Fanning), also flirts liberally with the young Batman, who acts as miniature version of his adult self, either ignoring or being embarrassed by her advances.
She finds joy but also discovers a temper that frequently needs to be checked by her teammates ("Hereafter", "Hawk and Dove", "Eclipsed", etc.). Later episodes dealt directly with her temper and Diana's eventual mastery of it. She since adopted the role of ambassador of the Amazons at her mother's request ("To Another Shore"), bringing another Post-Crisis trait to the DCAU.
While Wonder Woman's origin in the DCAU is not detailed, in the episode "The Balance", it is revealed that she indeed was a clay statue sculpted by Hippolyta and somehow brought to life. In the same episode, Hades says that he helped Hippolyta sculpt the clay statue that would eventually become Diana, making him feel almost like a father to her, but was banished before she was brought to life. That claim, however, was never substantiated (when Hawkgirl points out she could use the lasso on him, Diana says it doesn't matter). It was revealed that the Wonder Woman armor was originally made by the god Hephaestus for her mother, Queen Hippolyta, not Diana. However, in episodes, again like "The Balance", it was insinuated and implied that the armor was eventually made for her purposes and use. She had stolen her armor to use once Hippolyta forbade her to enter the outside world. Later in the series it is revealed that Diana did not know that the armor had additional abilities, which could be activated by pressing the star on the tiara.
Steve Trevor made an appearance in the first season's three-part finale, "The Savage Time", when the League time-travels back to World War II in order to stop Vandal Savage changing history. In this story, Steve is an agent of the OSS, whom Diana falls in love with. They are separated when Diana goes to stop Savage's invasion of America and returns to the present day. In the episode's conclusion, she visits her friend, now a very old man, at a retirement community.
Wonder Woman's eventual fate is unknown, but Kobra mentions that she is still alive during the time of Batman Beyond. She was originally supposed to appear in the Batman Beyond episode "The Call", which featured a future Justice League. However, rights issues precluded the possibility and her cameo was instead taken by Big Barda. She returns in the Justice League Beyond 2.0 comic, which is set some years after the conclusion of the Batman Beyond series.
Her powers are almost the same as her comics counterpart, including flight and super strength, lending Wonder Woman the ability to hold out against Superman in a fight, while both were hallucinating. She has a weakness to pierce wounds as shown by Devil Ray's poisonous dart harming her. In "Grudge Match", she is able to singlehandedly defeat Vixen, Hawkgirl, Huntress and Black Canary in a no-holds barred fight.
South Park (2007)
In the Comedy Central animated series South Park, Wonder Woman plays a prominent role in the Imaginationland Trilogy, in which she is depicted as a member of the Council of Nine, consisting of the nine most revered of all imaginary characters. She along with Aslan, Gandalf, Glinda, Jesus, Luke Skywalker, Morpheus, Popeye and Zeus teach Butters to control his power of imagination to help defend their land against all the evil imaginary creatures created.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008–2011)
In Batman: the Brave and the Bold, Wonder Woman makes a non-speaking cameo as a member of the Justice League in the episode "Sidekicks Assemble". She is only shown from behind and is not identified by name. At San Diego Comic-Con 2010's Batman: The Brave and the Bold panel, it was confirmed that Wonder Woman would appear in an upcoming episode of the show.[86] Wonder Woman appears in the opening segment of the 2011 episode "Scorn of the Star Sapphire!" rescuing Steve Trevor from Baroness Paula Von Gunther. Her appearance is accompanied by an arrangement of the classic 1970s Wonder Woman theme song. She was voiced by Vicki Lewis, who also voiced Star Sapphire in the same episode.[87] She subsequently appears in "Triumvirate of Terror!", where she teams up with Batman and Superman to fight the combined threat of Cheetah, Lex Luthor and the Joker.
Superman: Red Son (2009)
Wonder Woman appears in the Superman: Red Son motion comic, voiced by Wendee Lee.
Young Justice (2010-present)
Wonder Woman appears in the animated series Young Justice, voiced by Maggie Q.[88] At New York Comic Con 2010, it was confirmed that there are no longer any restrictions involving DC characters appearing in animation, thus making it possible for Wonder Woman to be used.[89] Wonder Woman appears in the pilot episode, "Independence Day", where she and the rest of the Justice League arrive at Cadmus Labs following its destruction. She is shown having a conversation with Superman about the fate of the newly discovered Superboy, though her words are not audible to the audience. She makes her first speaking appearance in the episode "Agendas," where she chastises Batman for recruiting Robin at such a young age and tries to have Captain Marvel thrown out of the League for lying about his age. Alongside the rest of the League, she is brainwashed by Vandal Savage's Starro spores in the closing moments of "Usual Suspects." In the season one finale, "Auld Acquaintance", she battles the members of Young Justice at Savage's behest before being trapped in an impenetrable force-field created by Rocket. She is presumably freed from Savage's control along with the rest of the League. In Young Justice: Invasion, Wonder Woman has taken on Cassie Sandsmark as her sidekick. She leaves Earth along with several other Leaguers in the episode "Alienated," in order to stand trial for crimes the team committed while under Savage's control. In Young Justice: Outsiders, Wonder Woman has become co-chair of the League alongside Aqualad, the new Aquaman, and is currently leading a group of Leaguers in space seeking to redeem the League's reputation against the forces of the Apokolips and the Light. She secretly keeps in contact with Batman, Nightwing, Oracle, Miss Martian and Aquaman, who are coordinating several teams in secret, and thus fears they are crossing the line.
Mad (2012–13)
For a sketch on the Mad series, when their fellow heroes feel under-appreciated, they appeal to Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman about being called "Super Friends."
DC Nation Shorts (2012–2014)
Wonder Woman appears in one of the DC Nation Shorts on Cartoon Network, voiced by Susan Eisenberg.
Lego Batman: Be-Leaguered (2014)

Wonder Woman appears as one of the three lead characters in Justice League Action, voiced by former The Young and the Restless co-star Rachel Kimsey.[91] This incarnation has started dating Superman in the episode Repulse but the two decide to keep it secret from the other members of the Justice League.
DC Super Hero Girls (2019)
Wonder Woman appears in the DC Super Hero Girls TV series, voiced again by Grey Griffin. In this version, she is 317 years old and has sneaked away from the Amazons' island home of Themyscira in order to fulfill her dream of protecting the mortal world. Upon reaching the city of Metropolis, she learns to pass herself off as a typical high school student with help from the other main characters.
Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? (2019)
Wonder Woman appears in the Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? episode "The Scooby of a Thousand Faces" with Rachel Kimsey reprising her role from Justice League Action. She teams up with Mystery Inc. when they are in Greece and contend with a Minotaur attacking a museum which Wonder Woman thinks is a real Minotaur that was sent by Hades. A running gag has Mystery Inc. trying to prove that the Minotaur is a fake. While Wonder Woman does train Daphne and Velma, she leaves Shaggy and Fred out of the training. Scooby-Doo takes a liking to her. Eventually, Wonder Woman was able to train Shaggy and Fred when it comes to trapping the Minotaur. When the Minotaur was trapped, Mystery Inc. unmasks it to be the museum curator. Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth breaks the Minotaur costume as the curator states that he was after the Golden Head of Apollo so that he can sell it and retire. After the curator is handed over to the police, Wonder Woman heads back to Themyscira as she encourages Mystery Inc. to continue their mystery-solving activities.

- Wonder Woman appears as a playable fighter in Injustice: Gods Among Us, with Susan Eisenberg reprising her role.[96] The storyline sees Wonder Woman travelling to an alternate reality with the rest of the Justice League where they must defeat most of their evil counterparts. Wonder Woman's counterpart supports the tyrannical Superman's regime and is in a relationship with him (though it is evidently one-sided, as he still loves his deceased wife Lois). In the game, she has alternate costumes based on her appearances in Flashpoint, Red Son, the New 52, Ame-Comi girls, and issue #600 of the Wonder Woman comics.
- Wonder Woman returns as a playable character in NetherRealm Studios' Injustice 2 and is voiced once again by Susan Eisenberg.[97] This version is still allied with the Regime and Superman, and tries to convince Supergirl (who assisted her in breaking out of prison) to join their cause, but fails after Supergirl learns that the Regime shows no mercy towards criminals. In her single player ending, Wonder Woman takes Brainiac's head, gaining the public favor needed to restore the Regime to power. She plans to make Batman and his comrades pay for toppling the Regime, then take her revenge on the Themyscirans for betraying her. An alternate version of her Flashpoint counterpart appears in Green Arrow's ending as a member of the Multiverse Justice League. She has a gear set in the game based on the Wonder Woman film.
