Wonder Woman (2009)
Courageous princess. Fierce warrior. Legendary superhero.
On the mystical island of Themyscira, a proud and fierce warrior race of Amazons have raised a daughter of untold beauty, grace and strength: Princess Diana. When an Army fighter pilot, Steve Trevor, crash-lands on the island, the rebellious and headstrong Diana defies Amazonian law by accompanying Trevor back to civilization.
In Wonder Woman, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “mythic warscape”. The story fights on E8/E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing war, identity, power.
