Why Does Steve Trevor Remember the New 52 Wonder Woman, Not the Rebirth One?

Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev are returning to the events of Event Leviathan in Leviathan Dawn this week. The preview includes a scene in which the captured Steve Trevor thinks about Wonder Woman.

But rather than think of the current canon version of Wonder Woman from Rebirth by Greg Rucka, Liam Sharp and Nicola Scott that is still appearing in current titles, such as Wonder Woman #751 last week…

… the version he recalls is the New 52 version by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang. Complete with arrows.

Another continuity cock-up along the lines of the current Justice League run occurring before Scott Snyder's run, despite containing events that definitely happened during it? Well, Bleeding Cool gets the word that DC's Free Comic Book Day title Generation Zero: Gods Among Us will address this head on, and other editorial foul-ups directly, and find a way to contain them all. So just hold on until May… and maybe comic stores, add a few more copies to your FOC order today.
