To reiterate, personally I think crowbarring Diana into World War II is a dumb idea that makes a mess of her supporting cast, adds a needless complication to her origin/backstory, cheapens her character, ultimately adds nothing of value, and is never treated with the gravity it warrants.

Even the bragging rights of "She's the in-universe first superhero" is utterly meaningless because DC also wants to maintain Superman as the benchmark of all heroes. That's not a gripe against him, but it's a disservice to Diana making it so she came first, but didn't really matter until Superman came along.
Yeah, I find it so weird DC and others insist this needs to be thing, when we've already had origins that update it to modern times, when no one seems to argue we need to try and have Batman simultaneously exist back in 30s Gotham and now but still somehow be Bruce Wayne.
