History WesternAnimation / WonderWomanBloodlines

* {{Filler}}: With the sequel being the grand finale to the DCAMU, this film stands out as one of the most inconsequential to the franchise as a whole. Wonder Woman does not undergo any significant CharacterDevelopment, none of the film's events impact previous plotlines, and no characters introduced in this film return for the final instalment. The only actual impact it has is that Diana is wearing her new costume from this film in ''Apokolips War''.

* AdaptationAmalgamation: This movie adapts and mashes up several Wonder Woman story lines from across both comics and other media.

* ArtEvolution: The movie showcases more streamlined designs and brighter colors. According to executive producer [[https://mobile.twitter.com/JTuckerAnimator/status/1152794308749201413 James Tucker]], primary character designs were done by Steven Choi due to Phil Bourrasa being busy working on ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. This explains the [[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedAnimalInstincts visual]] [[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedMonsterMayhem similarities]] [[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedMechsVsMutants to]] [[WesternAnimation/BatmanGothamByGaslight his other]] [[WesternAnimation/BatmanVsTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles works]].

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: In the comics, Vanessa idolized Wonder Woman (her mother Julia was actually jealous of ''their'' bond) and only betrayed her after several years of neglect and a TraumaCongaLine that ended with her getting [[RunningOverThePlot "accidentally" run over]] by [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Sebastian Ballesteros]], who then forced painful BodyHorror and cybernetic enhancements on her that kicked any lingering feelings of insecurity to extremes. In the movie, Vanessa despised Wonder Woman from the start for stealing her mother's attention and affection and chose to undergo her transformation into villainy out of willful resentment.

* ImprobablyFemaleCast: Steve Trevor is the only named male in the film's cast, and the only male in the entire film besides the villains' faceless mooks, an arms dealer, and [[spoiler: the Minotaur]].

* TooDumbToLive: Even someone with only an elementary school knowledge [[spoiler:of Medusa]] would know how deadly she is. But it still never occurred to the two geniuses, Dr Poison and Dr Cyber, to have any fail-safes ready [[spoiler:in case Medusa turned against them]].

** Vanessa becoming the Silver Swan is originally from Phil Jimenez's run, although this movie's portrayal of that transformation, and its characterization of Vanessa, have more in common with how they were handled in James Robinson's ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' run.

* ArmorPiercingResponse: Hippolyta says that if Diana leaves, she will never become queen and will never be allowed to set foot on Themyscira again, and asks her if she is truly willing to throw everything away. Diana simply wraps her magic lasso around her wrist and tells her mother to ask her again.

* LastWords:[[spoiler: As Julia lays dying from a gunshot wound in Vanessa's arms, she calls for Diana while reaching towards her. The fact that her mother's last words weren't even directed at her does not help the young lady's growing hatred of Wonder Woman. As shown in TheStinger, she may have been trying to tell Diana it was Dr. Cale.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Diana shows this when meeting Vanessa for the first time, where she mixes up their names and acts slightly flustered afterwards.

* ArmorPiercingResponse:
-->'''Hippolyta:''' If you leave, you will never become queen. You will never set foot on this island again. Are you truly willing to throw away everything that you are, a mere chance of helping ''them''?!\\
''[Diana wraps her magic lasso around her wrist]''\\
'''Diana:''' Ask me again, mother.

* BadassGay: Etta. A somewhat capable female field agent who has a love for female body builders like the Amazons.

* CompellingVoice: Medusa can compel people to look into her eyes. [[spoiler: Diana is able to resist long enough to blind herself, making her immune to Medusa's powers. Vanessa nearly submits, in part because [[DrivenToSuicide she felt she deserved to die]] after betraying Diana and becoming the Silver Swan.]]

* TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler:[[FalseFriend Dr.]] [[ManipulativeBastard Veronica]] [[NonActionBigBad Cale]] was the financier behind Villainy Inc. who had the ultimate goal of destroying Themyscira and plundering it for all it's worth, after [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Julia]] told her many stories about the mythical island. She personally [[SheKnowsTooMuch murdered Julia for this very reason]]. [[CoDragons Dr. Cyber and Dr. Poison]] were the only villains who worked directly for Cale. With both of them dead and [[DestroyTheEvidence all physical evidence of Cale's involvement destroyed]] by the story's end, Cale [[KarmaHoudini escaped punishment by the law]] but she was confronted by Diana one last time. In the end, Cale screamed that [[WeWillMeetAgain she will have her revenge someday]] after Diana [[ImpliedDeathThreat drove a sword into her desk]].]]

* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Vanessa's [[DrivenByEnvy growing feelings of inadequacy]] and her mother Julia's [[ParentalNeglect endless fascination with Diana]] lead to her [[AgeAppropriateAngst rebellious streaks]]. This spirals down into [[FaceHeelTurn embracing outright villainy]] after Julia's murder, with Vanessa (now Silver Swan) [[NeverMyFault blaming Diana for her misery]]. Some part of Vanessa [[ItsAllMyFault deeply regrets her choices]], but she refuses to admit it [[spoiler:until Medusa [[MoreThanMindControl magically compels]] her to do so, leading Vanessa to briefly [[TalkingDownTheSuicidal consider suicide until talked out of it by Diana]]. This also results in Vanessa's [[HeelFaceTurn redemption]], with her helping Diana to defeat Medusa]].

* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Daughter!]]: When Diana chooses to help Steve escape Themyscira, she briefly battles with Hippolyta over aiding a prisoner and running off with the sacred armor. After this, Hippolyta proclaims this trope and essentially kicks her off the island. [[spoiler: When Diana returns home and saves it from Medusa, Hippolyta welcomes her home and even proudly accepts her Man's World title of Wonder Woman.]]

* ALadyOnEachArm: [[spoiler:Etta]] at the end.

* LiterallyShatteredLives: What [[spoiler:Medusa]] does to some of her victims.
* {{Medusa}}: [[spoiler:One of the film's main villains is she herself.]]

* TooDumbToLive / DidntThinkThisThrough: Even someone with only an elementary school knowledge [[spoiler:of Medusa]] would know how deadly she is. But it still never occurred to the two geniuses, Dr Poison and Dr Cyber, to have any fail-safes ready [[spoiler:in case Medusa turned against them]].

The first 15 minutes take place prior to the events of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar'' and explain how Diana met ComicBook/SteveTrevor and arrived in Man's World. The rest of the film, taking place after the events in ''WesternAnimation/TheDeathOfSuperman'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanHush'', deals with Diana facing down some of her deadliest foes as they seek to enter Themyscira in a story that combines elements of ''Swan Song'' (a story arc from James Robinson's ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' run) with elements from Greg Rucka's runs on ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' and ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth''.

The rest of the film, taking place before the events in ''WesternAnimation/TheDeathOfSuperman'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanHush'', deals with Diana facing down some of her deadliest foes as they seek to enter Themyscira in a condensed adaptation of Veronica Cale's introductory arc in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987''.

* AnachronicOrder: The first couple chapters of the film take place a few years prior to ''Justice League: War'', before the film's title appears onscreen, then resumes shortly before ''Death of Superman'', with Diana still in the silver & dark-blue outfit, the Justice League Hall still pristine, and the romance with Superman ended. She switches to the traditional gold outfit for the final battle [[spoiler:and TheStinger confronting Veronica Cale]], before she had switched outfits in ''WesternAnimation/ReignOfTheSupermen''.
