I’m Convinced Wonder Woman’s Steve Trevor Death Scene Used A Classic DC Comic Storyline 75 Years Later

Steve Trevor’s death scene in 2017’s Wonder Woman creates a tragic version of a classic DC Comics scene. Although Wonder Woman took several notable liberties with the source material for the DCEU timeline – such as having Wonder Woman fight in World War I instead of World War II – the film by and large remained faithful to the comics, with its accurate presentation of the Wonder Woman characters and lore being one of the film’s many strengths. The tragic death of Steve Trevor has notable similarities to one moment in Wonder Woman’s origin story, albeit with a significantly different outcome.
