It also adds some interesting worldbuilding to DC. When the first major powered hero is a women debuting in the 40s ? Thats gonna kick the femenist movement into high gear. Especially because Diana wont take shit from any patriarchal bs. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an all female Special Forces unit inspired by Diana.
