Man of Steel tricks

There was an additional reference to Man of Steel in Wonder Woman. When Ares finally appeared, the power of the Olympian Gods was revealed. We also saw Diana’s potential.

However, subdued by the Lasso of Truth, Ares had another trick up his sleeve, and he proceeded to try to win the superheroine over by toying with her mind. He showed her a new world built on the ashes of mankind that hadn’t been spoiled by man’s nature. And it was a world that Ares and Diana could build together. We all know how that ended, but it was the same kind of trick (to somewhat similar ends) that Zod used on Kal-El.

Of course, Ares didn’t use technological means to trick Diana, but the similarities between him and Zod were pretty obvious. We should also mention that Enchantress used this same type of trick against the Suicide Squad.
