Diana wants to help â convinced that this evil could only be the work of Ares, the God of War.
Trevor escorts Diana to England, where she catches her first glimpse of industrialized London, or Manâs Land, a world she doesnât quite understand, specifically the eraâs antiquated gender and social norms. But itâs this battlefield scene that marks the first time Diana reveals her iconic garb.
