Revision as of 14:15, 8 October 2019
This article describes various allusions in the American television series Smallville to DC Comics character Wonder Woman, also known as Princess Diana. Although Wonder Woman never made an appearance on the television series, there were several references to the character and her universe. The notes on this page are generated by viewers and comics fans, but not necessarily verified by the show's producers or writers.
Wonder Woman is the superhero name given to Diana of Themyscira, an Amazonian Princess from Paradise Island. In the future, she becomes one of the world's greatest heroes as well as (along with Superman and Batman) one of the founding members of the Justice League of America.
Due to Hollywood producer Joel Silver's then efforts to create a Wonder Woman feature film, the character could appear in any episodes of the series. During his time as Season Eight's Executive Producer, Darren Swimmer said that the producers would love to have a storyline with a Justice Leaguer Wonder Woman involved.[1] The character ultimately appeared in the Smallville Season 11 comic book series, which started out six months after the events of Season Ten.
