In this day and age, nearly every single day of the year is a celebration for any number of specific people, items, or even the most popular superheroes of all time. Recent times have seen these special days come for some of the DC Universe’s biggest names, including Batman a few weeks ago and Wonder Woman today.
Wonder Woman has seen a rise in popularity more than any other time in her history thanks to the most popular live action rendition of the Amazonian princess in the DCEU. In celebration of this era’s likely most popular female superhero, some of the masterminds behind the DC Universe have taken to social media to share their own love for Diana Prince.

Originally created in 1941, Wonder Woman has turned into one of the premiere heroes not only in the DC Universe, but across the entire realm of superheroes from every major company. She has fought in nearly every major battle ever imagined, based off pure imagination and real life recreations, and Gal Gadot’s portrayal of her over the last four years has put her at the very forefront of mainstream superhero media.
The Amazonian warrior will continue her impressive legacy over the next few years, including in the imminent release of Wonder Woman 1984, which is still planning on releasing for Christmas 2020. Gadot is also rumored to play some sort of role in 2022’s The Flash as the DCEU takes the concept of the multiverse and dives in head first.
Patty Jenkins is also serving as the director of Wonder Woman 1984, and she will complete her trilogy with the untitled Wonder Woman 3. There are no definitive plans for her to continue on with the franchise after the trilogy is complete.
