Zack Snyder posted new Wonder Woman images on Instagram, offering the earliest look at Diana’s history as originally conceived for Batman v Superman.
The timing comes after the news that Netflix won the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery, which has reignited speculation about the future of the SnyderVerse.
Snyder explained that the photos were captured with a Leica Monochrom camera alongside Stephen Berkman’s glass-plate photography. He said this was the original Wonder Woman photograph created for Batman v Superman — set during the Crimean War — before the concept was reworked into the World War I version used in Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman.
He emphasized the images represent “the very first iteration of Diana’s history.”
“Leica Monochrom frame, I shot alongside Stephen Berkman’s Glass plate photography. This is the original Wonder Woman photograph made for Batman v Superman—the black-and-white image that here was the Crimean war later became the basis for the WWI version we recreated for Wonder Woman. This would have been the very first iteration of Diana’s history.”
First Posts Since Netflix Entered Exclusive Talks to Buy WBD
These are the first images Snyder has shared since the news broke that Netflix entered exclusive talks to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.
That timing has fans connecting dots, especially as Snyder has been posting DCEU and Knightmare material for weeks.
Our insiders say Netflix needs a deep content pipeline if the acquisition goes through. That has fueled talk that Snyder could return to finish the SnyderVerse or even tackle a Dark Knight Returns adaptation — a project long associated with him.
Hint of Momentum From Cast and Creators
Worth a mention is that actor Joe Manganiello boosted fan speculation when he retweeted the “sell WBD to Netflix” hashtag back in October, which brought new attention to Deathstroke and Snyder’s unmade plans.
SnyderVerse creatives have been active as well. Larry Fong, Jay Oliva, and Clay Enos have all surfaced with old material or commentary, adding to the sense that the original DC era is back in the conversation.
What Snyder’s New Images Represent
The photos Snyder shared capture an earlier version of Wonder Woman’s mythology — a Diana who existed long before the timeline used in the released films.
For fans, seeing this material now adds weight to the idea that Snyder may once again explore his version of the character if Netflix moves forward with DC projects.
