8 Burning Questions We Have After Watching Wonder Woman

In Wonder Woman, the DCEU finally has a movie that's universally adored as well as one that's raking in a massive amount of cash. One of the big strengths of the film is that it cuts out nearly all of the connections to the wider universe that often left us scratching our heads in the likes of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. By focusing on simply and effectively telling Diana of Themyscira's origins, it was able to be a much more satisfying film that told a complete story.

7) Can Diana Return To Themyscira?

After Steve arrives on Themyscira and tells the Amazons of the “war to end all wars” that’s happening in the outside world, Diana makes the difficult decision to leave her island paradise home and journey to Man’s World in order to kill Ares and save humanity. When she leaves, her mother Queen Hippolyta tearfully tells her that she “may never return.” Sure enough, the movie never sees Diana come back.

So, does this mean that Diana is exiled from the island or that she physically cannot return? Diana does break the laws of the Amazons by interfering with the outside world, so that could be grounds for Hippolyta to cast her daughter out. Alternatively, we know that Themyscira is shrouded from the outside. We could infer then, that Diana might not be able to find her way back again. Even if those German soldiers accidentally rowed in.

Unfortunately, the comics don’t offer up much help, either. Wonder Woman has been both exiled from her home and cut off from it physically in the source material. Let’s hope that the sequel clears this matter up, then.
