GADOT: Sometimes it felt like people thought,
"Okay, she's Wonder Woman, she's the greatest warrior."
So they turned her into this masculine character, which she's not.
The beautiful thing about Wonder Woman is that she's so diverse.
She's everything. She can be vulnerable, and sensitive,
and the greatest warrior ever,
and strong and confident.
She can be all of the above.
She can be everything that a woman has
and they live together in a beautiful way.
Then down, grab.
Good, good. That's good.
JENKINS: She's the everyman hero-woman
who doesn't have to give up anything
to be that woman.
She wasn't compromised for her strength
and that was something very, very, very new when it was first written.
And continued to be new and continues to be new now.
Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman really do represent
different aspects of heroism.
With Wonder Woman, it's about equality
and it's about having compassion for fellow people.
And, as a result of that, understanding that you need to treat everybody equally.
SNYDER: Her inherent power
was always obvious even to the most casual comic book kid.
They understood that she needed to be there
and you had to represent her.
They just understood, inherently, the power of this figure
to be transcendent of the boy stuff they were given, like,
"Here's Superman and Batman. They're gonna duke it out."
And then they're given this other symbol
that is clearly in all of us,
that essential concept of this warrior who looks at war differently.
RUCKA: That's another difference between her and Batman and Superman.
They all have very different relationships with violence.
Batman is traumatized by violence to such an extent
that he wants to control it.
Superman's power set is such that his relationship with violence
is you've gotta hit him so hard for it to matter,
when the way you get at Superman is emotionally
because you're not gonna beat him just by pounding him down,
unless you happen to have Kryptonite with you.
Diana comes out of a warrior culture
that knows what that means in every sense.
Diana's never gonna enter into a combat without knowing
exactly what it is she is about to do.
Her skill, her discipline. She never goes to the sword first.
GADOT: She has this thing inside of her that just pushes her,
and makes her want to do good,
and want to be proactive, and want to help and want to do better.
Fighting would be her last option.
SHARP: Often, Batman and Superman, they're like brothers, you know.
They're really different, but obviously they're on the same side
and they try to reconcile that,
and she's the sister in the middle going,
"Guys, we've gotta think of a solution to this, not just wade in."
She's a voice of reason in their very focused worldview.
She just might take more into consideration as far as a superhero goes.
She might bring the best of both of those characters,
plus an energy that they don't have.
DINl: Also, she works on them to bring out their better nature.
She works with Superman to ground him
and take him down a notch from his starry-eyed idealism,
because she's been around for a long time.
She really knows the history of the world and how people can behave.
And Batman, she continuously brings a little bit more into the light,
to try to break him out of his own shell,
to be more of a team player,
to also discover elements of humanity that he has willfully discarded.
They complement each other well. That's why they're the Trinity,
because they work so well together.
It wasn't like DC Comics ever said,
"We're gonna create three characters that are gonna be
"the cornerstone of the DC Universe."
It wasn't manufactured.
The cornerstone was built off
who the characters were and why people loved them.
The fact that they link up so well together, and complement each other
and contrast against one another is pretty fascinating.
There's parallels between Diana and Clark
in the sense that they both come from worlds outside of our world.
And I know a lot of people like to see the connection
between Wonder Woman and Superman as an item.
I think it's more interesting looking at Diana and Batman, personally,
because they're not so obvious.
JIMENEZ: They play into really visceral, primal myths,
and they play off of each other so beautifully, the dark and the light.
Just perfect opposites.
And I know that in Justice League, over the years,
they have played them both as sparring partners
and with a sense that there might be something else
if you want to read into it.
Bruce is a man of the human world and Wonder Woman is not.
There's some interesting things to explore there.
Her introduction into the Trinity with Batman v Superman
and the clear sense of confidence and equality and passion, strength,
all that, that she brought and that Batman and Superman
recognized in her, speaks to a strength
that comes only when you understand what women are capable of.
DIANA: Only love can truly save the world.
GADOT: Everything Wonder Woman stands for is brilliant.
