Wonder Woman: Paradise Now!

What if Diana arrived in our world during the Kamandi future

Steve Trevor discovered Paradise Island in the year 2010, but decided to stay there in Paradise for a few centuries. When Diana finally convinced him to take her to Man's World they found that earth had become the hellhole of Kamandi's stories.

We could see the amazons actually come back to an almost empty world and recreate society in their image over 2 centuries. Now that they can create a perfect world on their own terms, will they make an utopia or will they repeat the sins of Man? We see a new civilization rise up under the leadership of the amazons that expand all over the world using their unique technology.

It would be interesting to see Diana's struggle with Man's World being everything the amazons predicted and her being in the middle of this effort to create society with her sisters. And Steve Trevor could have an interesting arc as he lets the guilt in him make him an Amazonian fanatic.

And to add some tension make it so Ares did all of this, and is out there in Space destroying other civilizations

This would be the Wonder Woman equivalent of Superman Red Son. Diana would maintain her drive to challenge herself and push others to reach their full potential, and keep her ethical nature, but in a very different world.

Has DC Comics ever published a What If type of book? Or is the Elseworlds books what could be considered DC's What If?

I'd love to see a book that explores a DC Universe in which there is no Superman or Batman; a universe in which the so-called Trinity is Diana and, say, Power Girl and John Stewart. Or Diana, Vixen, and Jessica Cruz.

Elseworlds is their version of what-if

Angel of the Battlefield - Diana comes to Man's World to intervene in the American Civil War when a battle between the CSS Alabama and USS Kearsarge takes place off the coasts of Themyscira.

I see.
Questions, is Elseworlds a regular thing?
Like a monthly thing? I ask because I have never ever read an Elseworlds book (alternate versions of Wonder Woman or any other of my DC faves have never appealed to me).

It's not a monthly thing. Broadly it means almost any DC book set aside from the mainline books but usually presented as, and likely what most fans think of as, DC heroes with a twist; Superman in Soviet Russia, Batman in 19th century Gotham,

Any ideas coming from you?

Yeah, I'll post them once I have them sorted out.

Got another which I'm frankly surprised hasn't been done yet - instead of US pilot Steve Trevor crash-landing on Paradise Island and getting Diana to come with him to the US and fight alongside the Allies, Nazi pilot Stefan Troger is the one whom Diana finds and who convinces her that his side is the righteous one in the war...

I think the problem with this is the moment Diana gets to Germany. She'll see the concentration camps, the antisemitism, and the outright evil that she'll immediately change sides. There doesn't really seem to be much of a story there since there's no nuance to Hitler's evil.

Taylor did something similar to that for a Johnny-come-lately origin for Injustice WW and unsurprisingly like most of Taylor's works, it sucked.

Yeah the comic was a clear cash grab trying to ride the 2017 movie's wave, it ended in a way that makes you wonder why she joined with pseudo nazi fascist Superman.

A couple of ideas:

1. After leaving Paradise Island to fight in World War II her Amazon powers is taken away by the gods but because of her courage to keep fighting she ends up being given a Green Lantern ring

2. The daughter of Heracles and a British noble woman who is given to the Amazons after her mother is killed by an enemy of Heracles and he feels his daughter needs to be protected and trained by warriors.

3. Diana Mary Prince-Batson and her twin brother Billy share the power of SHAZAM making them the Wonder Twins with her as Wonder Woman and him Captain Wonder

4. An American soldier who finds enchanted items to fight criminals and monsters (less super being and more vigilante using weapons)

Mystical Items:
Tiara of Athena - Gives the wearer ability to know multpile languages, resistance to telepathy/mind control
Bracelets of Artemis - The ability to block any projectile attack
Boots of Hermes - Super speed
Earrings of Aphrodite - Manipulate the pheromones of any creature, Allows Diana to make people see the most beautiful creature in the world instead of what she actually looks like, a muscular Greek-American woman.
Ring of Apollo - Heal any wounds
Armor of Poseidon - Protection from extreme weather.
Necklace of Hades - Able to see and manipulate souls
Sword of Ares - Able to cut through any force or object
Staff of Demetia - Makes things grow
Lasso of Zeus - Able control any creature within its reach

That was my idea for an evil Wonder Woman counterpart lol: The daughter of Ares and Athena who was raised secretly by the Amazons on Manslaughter Island, because Zeus was foretold she would kill the Gods so he threw the baby off of Olympus, she leaves the island fights alongside nazis and declares herself the Nazi Goddess/Goddess of Genocide taking the name Mother Manslaughter (WW to MM).

Heh, I keep having ideas about Kryptonians on Themiscyra. Supergirl has been done, and while short, was a cool idea. I was thinking about the other ones. Mala(yes the DCAU Mala)... what if... Superman had sent her to Reformation Island instead of the Phantom Zone?

DCAU Mala and the Amazon Mala interacting might be funny actually

There's an entire list of Kryptonians who would be also valid for a story like that though.
