Wonder Woman: 10 Rumours That Were Utter Bull

4. The Plot Has Links To Darkseid

The Rumour: In order to tie the movie to the upcoming Justice League, the plots of General Erich Ludendorff and/or Ares would have links to the impending arrival of Darkseid.

The Truth: Mercifully, Wonder Woman is basically a standalone film that makes very few nods to the exterior DCEU, and it's all the better for it. General Ludendorff is in business for himself, albeit with a little surreptitious inspiration from Ares, while Ares has his own motivations, to cleanse Earth of humanity and re-imagine it as a utopia.

Darkseid's fingerprints are nowhere near this, and considering that he's presumably going to be the Thanos of the DCEU, likely not having a major role until Justice League 2, that's definitely a good thing.
