DC Comics will retcon its continuity to establish Wonder Woman as the first superhero in the DC Universe’s official timeline.
The popularity of DC’s Wonder Woman has only increased since the iconic superhero made her long-awaited live-action feature film debut in 2017. Now, DC’s Dan Dido has revealed that the comic book publisher will establish a new timeline that sets Wonder Woman as the first superhero in the golden age and a key player in the foundation of the Justice Society of America.
Dan Dido made the announcement during the DC Nation Panel at New York Comic-Con, where he explained that Wonder Woman’s arrival in America will lead to the launch of the Justice Society of America. Furthermore, Dan Dido revealed Superman will be the first hero in the second generation of heroes and other aspects of DC history will be reintroduced:
“We’re reintroducing aspects of our history back into it with the return of the Justice Society of America, all the way to the Legion of Super-Heroes.”
