Wonder Woman: Bloodlines is the second animated Wonder Woman film and the fourthteenth feature length film in the DC Animated Film Universe that tells Wonder Woman's origins from before and after Justice League: War and then her battle with Villainy, Inc.
Plot[]
Princess Diana finds a US pilot, Steve, after his jet crashed following a Parademon attack. She saves him and brings him to Themyscira, an island associated with Greek mythology full of women only. Steve explains that man's world is in danger, following the Parademon attack on his jet, and Diana decides to leave Themyscira with him. While escaping, her mother finds and fights her, but in the end lets her go, stating Diana is no longer an Amazon of Themyscira.
Upon arriving, Steve brings Diana to stay with Dr. Julia Kapatelis and her daughter Vanessa and learn about man's world. As time goes by, Diana is kind to Vanessa, but gets most of Julia's attention, leaving Vanessa bitter. 5 years later, Diana has already become the hero Wonder Woman and has joined the Justice League. Julia approaches Diana and asks for help with her daughter, who apparently stole an artifact from Cale Pharmaceuticals, where she works, and plans to sell it.
Diana, Steve, and Julia find Vanessa during a deal with Doctor Poison. Diana intervenes, but during the battle Julia is shot while Doctor Poison manages to escape. Julia dies, which causes Vanessa to become furious with Diana and leave in anger. Vanessa then decides to join Doctor Poison and Doctor Cyber, who are working together, and is transformed into a machine-hybrid, calling herself Silver Swan. Diana and Steve locate Poison in Qurac, but upon arrival are attacked by Vanessa. Diana manages to defeat her and brings her to Veronica Cale, head of Cale Pharmaceuticals, to help her. Veronica states Vanessa was injected with a virus that is transforming her from the inside out, and that soon Vanessa will die because of it. Diana states the Purple Healing Ray in Themyscira is the only thing that can heal her, but doesn't know where it is as anyone who leaves the island forgets its location.
The heroes decide to look through Julia's studies, who was obssessed with finding Themyscira. They discover the Temple of Pasiphae, which is believed to have a fountain in it that may show Diana the location of Themyscira. Upon arrival, they fight Cheetah, who has been given a strengthening serum by Doctor Poison, and a Minotaur guarding the fountain. They manage to defeat both, and Diana uses the fountain, which shows her several visions. They return to Veronica, who uses the vision Diana had to piece together Themyscira's location. However, it's revealed Doctor Cyber was listening, and now knows the location of Themyscira, which they plan to attack for their technology. Doctor Cyber and Doctor Poison, along with Vanessa, who has escaped from Diana, attack Themyscira and unleash a weapon originating from the artifact they got from Vanessa during their deal. The weapon turns out to be a revived Medusa, a gorgon who turns anyone she looks at into stone. Meduas refuses to be controlled by Cyber and Poison and kills them, while Vanessa is intercepting Diana who has just arrived at Themyscira.
Medusa, powered by Poison's serum, easily overpowers the Amazons. Just as she's about to kill the queen, Diana engages in battle with her, during which she blinds herself so she wouldn't be turned to stone. She also saves Vanessa from Medusa, and after speaking to her heart, they team up to finally kill Medusa, unfreezing everyone who was turned to stone and saving Themyscira. Diana's mother reconciles with her and declares her the champion of Themyscira, while also opening its doors to man's world.
Diana then confronts Veronica, who is revealed to be behind the villains, having both Doctor Poison and Doctor Cyber on her payroll. She threatens to attack Themyscira again since she knows its location, to which Diana accepts the challenge and promises to stop her if she tries anything.
