Rumor: Wonder Woman's Unusual Origin In Batman Vs. Superman

There's an unusual rumor about the origin of Wonder Woman circulating thanks to a post made at the website Batman On Film. The rumor came up while answering a reader question about how big of a role Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman would have in the film. Here's the response:

Personally, I'd say it'll be about on par with Scarlett Johansson's first appearance as Black Widow in IRON MAN 2. I believe that it's a cameo-plus type of role that will (hopefully) serve as a springboard to a solo Wonder Woman movie. With all that said, I'd bet a year's pay – in MONOPOLY money, of course – that the "Amazons" of this cinematic DCU will be descendants of those "ancient Kryptonians" who attempted to set up Kryptonian outposts throughout spacedom thousands and thousands of years ago. Furthermore, I say that Wonder Woman will be powered-down, if you will, relative to Superman because these Amazons have evolved and adapted to living on Earth for hundreds of centuries. And since Kryptonians are produced without any "He'n and She'n" – Jor El and Lara excluded – couldn't this original Kryptonian on Earth have used this reproductive science to create an all-female race? I say yes!

Wonder Woman a Kryptonian? That certainly is a departure from her comic book origin. If the rumor turns out to be true, it could exemplify a stark contrast in the way DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. are approaching their superhero universe, versus the way Marvel is approaching theirs, with DC trying to minimize the amount of crazy concepts they include in their universe (this move would effectively excise the mythological and magical aspects of the DC Universe from the films) and Marvel simply embracing theirs and mixing them all together (Space gods? Why not!?). Batman vs. Superman is scheduled to be released in theaters July 17, 2015.
