As news coverage highlights Superman’s growing impact on the world, Diana reflects on her own journey. During World War II, pilot Steve Trevor crashes near Themyscira, bringing news of a devastating global conflict. Believing she can help end the suffering, Diana leaves her homeland despite Hippolyta’s objections and joins the Justice Society of America. Fighting alongside Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Wildcat, Hourman, Starman, and Sandman, she becomes a symbol of hope across the war-torn world. As Diana bonds with Steve and her fellow heroes, Doctor Fate warns that an ancient darkness is fueling humanity’s hatred. Convinced Ares is responsible, Diana seeks the God of War, believing his defeat will end the conflict.
