Ok so a hot debate on screenrant has been going off since some rumour was started that maybe the story of MoS 2 Batman vs Superman will have Wonder woman origins linked to Krypton somehow.
Here are the links

I am against trying to fully alter WW backstory to shoehorn it to Superman’s origins but since we are talking of super powered beings why can’t we just have her race the Amazons be an alien race to earth just as kryptonians are? One respondent on the thread named EricAD put his idea thus…
‘I can understand why WB wants to keep their universe cohesive. Of all the classic JLA members, Wonder Woman is the only one with a magical origin/backstory. I hope it is something more like this: What if the Olympians were explained similarly to the way the Asgardians are in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; aliens so advanced their technology might as well be magic to humans. But NOT Kryptonians-that is Superman’s thing and should remain so. I would say these advanced aliens came to Earth thousands of years ago, maybe just twelve of them, and were worshiped as the twelve Olympian Gods by primitive humans. They then chose a select group of humans as their representatives on Earth, and used their science to give them greater strength, knowledge, and even immortality. But since mankind was so savage at the time, the Olympians only chose the women of the species as their representatives. They became the Amazons. I think this keeps the basics of Wonder Woman’s back story, without tying it into Superman’s explicitly, but more in keeping with the more sci-fi world established in Man of Steel. I’d MUCH rather that than anything to do with Krypton. Krypton = Superman.’
Now I personally would go further, why cant we say that the Amazons were a race of aliens who were at war with Kryptonians and Kryptonians actually feared the Amazonian weaponry which they found superior (magic a superior form of tech) , they somehow found a way to destroy all the males of that race leaving Amazons a race of only females. They took some of them as prisoners and one of their ancient outposts had some Amazons arrive to earth , however on earth Amazons defeated the Kryptonians and set up an enclave of their own, and on earth their physiology was enhanced rendering them immortal in our environment kind of like Elves in Lord of the Rings. So in that way their histories are linked but they are not the same people. Also this way we can have Superman and WW start off as historical enemies that need to overcome the animosity between their people.
What do fans think of these ideas?
