Zack Snyder Reveals Unused, Gruesome Elseworlds Wonder Woman Photo - IGN - IGN

Zack Snyder has shared a historical photo of Wonder Woman that depicts a "war-weary Diana" holding three decapitated heads.The image was prominently placed in the backdrop of Snyder's office during a virtual interview that he participated in with ComicBook Debate, where he discussed his version of Justice League and the movement that led to the release of the Snyder Cut on HBO Max. However, the sepia snap quickly became the main topic of interest amongst fans who were eager to take a closer look at the photo.

Snyder later posted a hi-res version of the Wonder Woman 1854 image along with details of his initial ideas for Diana Prince's origin story. In the Twitter caption, he wrote: "This amazing image shot by Stephen Berkman of an else-world, war weary Diana, who had chased [Ares] across the battlefields of the world and had yet to meet Steve, who would help her restore her faith in mankind and love itself."

The gruesome photo shows Gal Gadot's Diana standing stoically alongside several other warriors during the early years of the Crimean War, setting her backstory even further in the past than Patty Jenkins' World War I setting in 2017's Wonder Woman. The battle-worn hero is featured at the forefront of the photo, clenching the severed heads of her enemies in one hand and her weapon in the other.

This is just one of a few alternative versions of the photo that Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne could have uncovered of Diana and her team in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. If this photo had of been used, it would have set up a very different path for Diana as it would have negated her decision to leave Themiscyra for Steve Trevor and the entire mission portrayed in the Wonder Woman movie.

The slightly less-brutal version of Diana recently returned to our screens for Wonder Woman 1984, the Cold War-set sequel that IGN praised for presenting "a nostalgic look back to a beloved time," which we felt ultimately provided "escapism from an exceptionally difficult year" and offered the "kind of bright and hopeful movie the character's legacy deserves."
