Creation

One of the coolest animated flashbacks we’ve seen on film, this resembled a Renaissance painting in motion! Upon arrival on Themyscira at the beginning of the movie, we saw little Diana hearing a story about the Olympian Gods and the creation of mankind. We learned that Zeus was the creator of all, and it was mankind’s duty to thank the gods for their very existence.

You might say that this wasn’t actually a DCEU reference, but as the first time mention of the Olympian Gods in the DCEU, we would argue that it was. Furthermore, it could also serve as an explanation for the events to come (such as the big flashback battle in Justice League).

Of course, it didn’t help that we didn’t know when the Olympian Gods died. However, as various reports suggested, Ares defeated them after Darkseid’s first attempt to conquer Earth. So we might even see Zeus in action!
