The upcoming DCU is set to officially begin withCreature Commandoslater in 2024, and James Gunn’sSupermanflying into theaters August 17, 2025. As the universe begins to get fleshed out, a Wonder Woman animated series could be the perfect project.
What a Wonder Woman animated series could look like comes to life courtesy ofLoVS_18, including the titular hero and teases for a handful of her villains. Diana Prince has never gotten her own animated show, but this art shows how cool it would be for her to finally get one for DC’s new universe, along with how nice the animation can look and distinguish itself from other projects in the DCU.
Despite being part of DC’s Trinity, it’s shocking that Wonder Woman has never gotten an animated series following the success ofBatman: The Animated Series,Superman: The Animated Series, andJustice League. Now that two members of the trinity have received new animated adaptations,My Adventures With SupermanandBatman: Caped Crusader,maybe it’s time for Wonder Woman to get her own.
DCU’s Wonder Woman Prequel Gets First Real Update In 17 Months From James Gunn
DC Studios boss James Gunn shares a new and crucial update on the Wonder Woman prequel TV show, Paradise Lost, for the upcoming DC Universe.
Why A Wonder Woman Animated Show Would Be Perfect For The DCU
Wonder Woman was a staple of the DCEU, with two solo films,Justice League, and various appearances inBatman v Superman,The Flash, andShazam! Fury of the Gods. Her character was generally well received, soit could be beneficial for the DCU to reintroduce her in her own animated series before she appears in other projects.Wonder Woman’s mythology will also be explored withupcoming DC showParadise Lost, a live-action prequel that will explore Themyscira before she was born, but a series focused on Diana Prince could be a good way to build from the story told in the prequel show.
WithCreature Commandosreleasingin December 2024 andBlue Beetlegetting a follow-up show,it’s clear the DCU wants to utilize animated shows to help flesh out the new universe. There has been recent news of how Wonder Woman will be incorporated into the greater DCU, but having her own animated series would be perfect for her and would help to get viewers acquainted with a new take on the character. It would also help expand on Wonder Woman’s Greek God mythology deeper than if she was relegated to solo films and team ups.
James Gunn’s plans for Wonder Woman and how she will fit within the DCU haven’t really been revealed yet, aside from a prequel series and mentions of wanting to incorporate her into more animated projects going forward. With what direction to take the character being unclear at the moment, bringingWonder Womaninto the upcoming universe through her own animated series could be the best way to do it.

Wonder Woman is the superhero identity of Diana, Princess of the Amazons. Created on the island of Themyscira, Wonder Woman is a super-powered demi-goddess with extreme physical strength who utilizes magical gifts (like her famous Lasso of Truth) to defeat her foes. As mighty as her fellow heroes Superman and the Justice League, Wonder Woman is unmatched in her compassion and virtue.
