Zack Snyder’s DC movies featured interesting concepts, but one major Wonder Woman backstory change would not have worked in the long term.
Wonder Woman could have been Kryptonian in Zack Snyder’s DCEU. During a fan screening of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, director Zack Snyder revealed scrapped ideas about his DCEU films. According to Snyder, Wonder Woman was almost of Kryptonian origin in the DCEU. While Zack Snyder never directed a Wonder Woman film, Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince was introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
In a way, the Amazons represented something that humanity could strive for, a greater good that existed beyond human failures. If all of the Amazons, including Wonder Woman, are of Kryptonian heritage, they are just as “human” as mankind. Snyder’s Man of Steel highlighted how Kryptonians failed their planet, leading to General Zod’s search for a new home. In other words, the Kryptonians were never gods. They were as flawed as the humans from Earth.
3 Wonder Woman Being Kryptonian Is Too Close To The MCU's Thor Zeus being Kryptonian would have repeated an MCU Thor trope. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially during Phase 2, Thor’s magic was explained by science. The early MCU was influenced by movies like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, meaning that they tried to rationalize a lot of fantastical aspects of the Marvel universe.
Explaining Shazam and Black Adams’ powers through Krypton would have been too complex. In addition, the most interesting thing about Shazam and Black Adam is that their powers stem from magic. Otherwise, they would be Superman in a different uniform. Neither Shazam vs. Superman nor Black Adam vs. Superman even happened in the DCEU. However, when those fights happen in the comics, they highlight how Superman does not fare well against magic.
