At this point just release it's been almost three years since the announcement nevermind how long development has been in place.
This is becoming the norm and it shouldn't be.
I'm guessing a big-scale meshing of both games with some new features. I didn't want another lego Batman but this is boring to me, and I doubt their doing Fantastic Beasts.

Even if they don't actually adapt the films, I won't be surprised if you can unlock Newt to use in Free Play mode.

Gunn has been talking to DC Animation about doing more with WW.
Seems like we might get a WW cartoon to go alongside TCC and MAWS.

I too think it will be set in the DCU. Gunn probably wants to put a few years between Gadot and who comes next, and this is a great compromise. He casts a new WW to first voice a cartoon to build her popularity before she debuts on the big screen. Wouldn’t surprise me if they went the same route with Flash.

The problem with this approach is that it's very constraining. Like, there's no way they're gonna introduce a major villain like Circe in a cartoon. It would be like MTV Spider-Man in which Green Goblin and Doc Ock were unavailable because it's supposed to be semi-canon to the Raimi movies.
It will be a very expensive show if they cast live action actors who are supposed to play their characters in the big screen films too.
I'd prefer if they just did a WWTAS which introduced the WW mythos and greater set of characters to general audiences and put a few years between Gadot and the next actress like how BTAS put a few years between Keaton and Kilmer while also boosting Batman's popularity some more.
Not only would you either have to limit how much the cartoon would be able to do or show because of the movies but you would also need to heavily coordinate it with the continuity of the films and making sure everything fits into place and doesn't break the continuity, on-top of having to work around everybody's schedule and get them committed in if there's the expectation that they'll have to appear in movies too, which sounds like a lot.
And not to mention you would then be restraining the show to have to look and feel like it could fit into the movies rather than look like it's own thing.
I hate synergy. It basically ruined Marvel Animation.
Yeah... they cancelled Earth's Mightiest Heroes and replaced it with Avengers Assemble, which had the movie roster plus Falcon. Then in season 4, they had a plot where the original team gets time displaced. They get rescued by a new team (Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Vision, Ant-Man, Wasp - Scott and Hope, not Hank and Janet like in EMH - Ms. Marvel and Jane Foster), but Falcon's been gone long enough to have aged up quite a bit - because he was in the MCU by then. Kamala, the only one not already in the MCU at the time, took Sam's old role as the audience appeal character. That show was definitely affected by synergy mandates. Considering they're doing a sixth season of the 90s X-Men, maybe they should also consider doing EMH season 3 (though even if they did, I bet they'd make changes to match later comics, such as the Marvels being shuffled).

I wonder how much the WW animated show would tie into "Paradise Lost" considering that's a prequel. Perhaps it'll be so far in the past that it won't affect present day, but I imagine some kind of continuity issue will arise. Let's just hope Gunn et al create an official Themyscira timeline /mythology just so all their ducks are in a row.
