“Masquerade”
Queen Hippolyta emerges from a temporal rift, returning to the present day after spending eight subjective years in the past as the iconic wartime Wonder Woman, bringing tales of Golden Age heroism and emotional reunion with her daughter Diana—now elevated as the Goddess of Truth—and the Amazons on Themyscira. The celebration proves brief as the vengeful Dark Angel, a spectral entity tied to apocalyptic forces and harboring deep enmity toward the Amazon lineage, launches a calculated strike amid layers of deception and disguise, targeting Donna Troy in a devastating attack that seemingly claims her life or banishes her to realms of endless suffering, sowing the seeds for reality to begin unraveling memories of her existence and prompting the desperate quest ahead.
