Wonder Woman: Spirit of Truth (2016)

Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva is a woman consumed by a singular, dangerous obsession: the pursuit of eternal life and divine power. A brilliant but ruthless archaeologist, she leads a desperate expedition into the densest jungles of Africa, searching for the lost temple of Urzkartaga, a primitive plant god of immense ferocity. Through a ritual of blood and betrayal, Barbara is transformed. She sheds her humanity to become the Cheetah, a sleek, supernatural predator possessed by a primal hunger and speed that defies the laws of physics. Across the globe, Diana of Themyscira is still finding her footing in "Man’s World," serving as an ambassador of peace. But the peace is shattered when the Cheetah arrives in Washington D.C., driven by a manic craving for Diana’s golden Lasso of Truth, an artifact she believes can stabilize her agonizing transformation. What follows is a brutal collision of mythologies. Unlike any foe Diana has faced, the Cheetah doesn't just match her strength; she surpasses her speed. In a series of visceral encounters that tear through the city streets and hidden ruins, the Amazon Princess is forced to confront a terrifying reality: her skin can be pierced. For the first time, the "God killer" bleeds. As the hunt intensifies, Diana realizes that Barbara Minerva isn't just a monster to be defeated, but a victim of her own ambition and a dark god’s curse. To save the world from the Cheetah’s feral rampage, Wonder Woman must choose between the warrior’s path of execution or the hero’s path of redemption. It is a race against time where the prize is not just survival, but the very soul of a woman lost to the beast within.
