Wonder Woman recap
In the present, Diana Prince receives the 1918 photograph Bruce Wayne recovered, and she remembers. Diana grows up on Themyscira, the hidden island of the Amazons, trained in secret by her aunt Antiope. In 1918, American pilot Steve Trevor crashes off the coast, followed by German soldiers. Steve, a spy, has stolen the notebook of Doctor Maru, who is making a new poison gas for General Ludendorff. Believing the war is the work of Ares, the god of war, Diana takes the Godkiller sword and leaves with Steve for London. There, Sir Patrick Morgan backs their mission while the British command sues for peace. Diana crosses no man's land and frees the village of Veld, and she believes killing Ludendorff will end the war.
Wonder Woman ending explained
Diana kills Ludendorff, but the fighting goes on. Ares is really Sir Patrick, who has stoked the war, and Diana learns she is the true godkiller, Zeus's daughter. Steve flies the gas-laden plane up and blows it up, dying to save others. Diana destroys Ares, and in the present she emails Bruce her thanks and takes up her mission.
