While Wonder Woman is a strong female lead, the film does not actively seek to disrupt social or racial hierarchies. The story centers on maintaining civic stability and the conflict between order and chaos. This approach upholds the status quo without challenging it through diverse perspectives. Ultimately, the film draws from the expansive DC mythos without attempting to reframe these identities.
