10 Insane Alternate Versions Of Wonder Woman You Won't Believe Exist

Back in 2003, DC published three Elseworld comics for DC’s biggest heroes; Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman. For reasons known only to writers themselves, each comic was based on a classic German movie.

For all this sounds like a bizarre idea, they actually pulled it off pretty well. Also, while most people might not instantly be able to name much German cinema, Nosferatu used for Batman and Metropolis for Superman are fairly recognisable movies. With Batman lurking in the shadows and Superman’s regular city being Metropolis anyway, both seem like fairly sensible picks.

The inspiration for Diana’s story is a little less well known, being the 1930 flick The Blue Angel. Like all three of this Elseworlds collection, it mixes of few other movies in there, mainly Metropolis itself which is used to thematically tie the whole trilogy together.

In this story, Diana is an amnesiac with no recollection of her past, and is working as an exotic dancer. It’s certainly not a typical Wonder Woman story, but if you’re looking to see the character in a completely different scenario, then look no further.
