The movie's take on Vanessa becoming the Silver Swan is not based on Post-Crisis stories. It's based on a short Rebirth-era arc called Swan Song, written by James Robinson, in which Julia Kapatelis does indeed die.


* DeathByAdaptation: Julia Kapatelis was kind ally in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' whose life was threatened on occasion but was always saved. In this iteration she dies at the hands of Diana's foes to give her daughter motivation to turn on Wondy, instead of having her tortured and mind raped into it.
