In the final year of World War II, Allied pilot Steve Trevor crashes near Themyscira, pursued by a Nazi squad seeking lost ancient relics. Moved by visions and the threat of growing darkness, Diana defies her mother and leaves the island, escorting Steve back to a world consumed by war. There, she encounters the Justice Society of America—Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Wildcat, and Doctor Mid-Nite—an elite, secret team of metahumans fighting hidden threats behind enemy lines. As the Allies close in on Berlin, the JSA uncovers signs of Olympian interference. Ancient war artifacts have empowered a Nazi cult determined to prolong the war through supernatural means. Behind it all, an unseen hand—Ares—whispers conflict into every corner of the battlefield. Tensions build as Diana’s divine power unsettles the mortal heroes, especially Hawkman, who warns of gods choosing sides in human affairs. Diana leads the JSA in a final assault on a Nazi-occupied temple. There, she confronts the truth of her lineage and the source of the war’s unnatural fury. By embracing her compassion over conquest, she severs Ares’ influence without striking him down—choosing to inspire rather than rule. Mid credits: In a buried chamber, Diana finds alien glyphs and a name scorched into the stone: “Darkseid.” Post credits: Doctor Fate, alone in a collapsing sanctum, witnesses flashes of worlds at war and whispers, “The age of gods has only just begun.”
