1. Shared mantle holding is becoming the norm. Miles is showing up in everything Spider-Man these days with the exception of the MCU, and I pretty much guarantee that when Holland is done, they’ll have MCU Miles take over as Spider-Man. Spider-Man is becoming something multiple people can be. We see that with Captain America, Sam Wilson is the new Cap and they have even returned the name to Sam in the comics, both he and Steve will be Captain America going forward. With Yara the intent was to create a Latina WW who could be adapted for media projects. Thus I expect her to get the mantle and share it with Diana. Wonder Woman will become a mantle that multiple people can have at the same time.
2. There will be another Batman in the DCEU while Battison does his thing over in the corner. Might be DickBats, they’re apparently introducing Nightwing in Batgirl, but Keaton won’t be an active actor and they’ll need a Batman to replace him. If not DickBats I expect they’ll introduce Jace Fox’s Batman, or Damian Wayne, or Terry McGuiness. For Superman, S&L on the CW have introduced the son of Superman being trained to take over for Clark one day, and there’s an HBO Max Val-Zod show in the works. So the idea that people other than Clark can be Superman is also something that’s being built up.
3. You really think they’re just going to keep playing in the shared universe without Supers/Bats/Wonders? They’re replacing Superman and Batman with Supergirl and Batgirl, they absolutely will replace Diana when Gadot is done. Unless they end the universe and reboot, which is possible, they will continue the WW brand with legacies, that’s the whole point of these characters.
