We’re just a couple of months away from seeing Wonder Woman and Batman returning to the big screen as the duo team up with The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg for Warner Bros.’ hotly-anticipated DC blockbuster Justice League, and speaking to USA Weekly, Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck have been discussing the development of their characters going in to the big team-up.
“She’s grown up — it’s been a century, after all! She’ll bring her specific qualities to a group dynamic, and she understands the enemy better than anyone else,” said Gadot. “Since [Batman and Wonder Woman] have fought together, they know each other’s strengths. They also understand the hope Superman stood for, that was lost [when he died], so they feel that more than the others.”
“In Batman v Superman, [Batman] was at the end of his rope,” added Affleck. “But in Justice League he’s finding hope again. He has to open up and play well with others. He knows he needs them. He’s sort of the ultimate loner, but he’s really trying to make it work and develop a good relationship with all of them. He might be a mentor to The Flash.”

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
