Wonder Woman flourishes a shiny new set of armor in her very own Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths one-shot.
Written by Tini Howard with art by Leila Del Duca, Dark Crisis: Worlds Without a Justice League - Wonder Woman #1 gives Diana a radiant golden wardrobe, featuring a new sword, shield and tiara to match. The curvature of the headpiece gives it a bird-like appearance, a possible nod to the hero's Golden Eagle Armor that was adapted for live-action in Wonder Woman 1984 (2020). This vibrant new attire is one of many elements from Diana's dreamworld introduced in a preview for the upcoming one-shot.
Wonder Woman was seemingly killed by Pariah along with the rest of the Justice League in Justice League #75. In reality, each member of the League was placed into their own dream-like reality, such as Superman Clark Kent being able to raise his son Jon and Flash Barry Allen living out a happy life with all his loved ones. In Diana's dreamworld, her friend Etta Candy is a two-term President of the United States while her home of Themyscira is now called the "Triad of the Amazons," implying in the preview that the three Amazonian tribes live here in harmony as opposed to their own separate regions.
