There’s no mention of either of the other Wonder Girls in this report, or even Wonder Woman, but from the sounds of it, this series would be the perfect place to introduce them into the Arrowverse. Themyscira has already been shown in Legends of Tomorrow, so now would be a perfect time to bring them fully into the fold.
The report also mentions that Jones will be writing and providing art for a Wonder Girl series for DC Comics, albeit without a publishing date. This is the first that said series has been brought up in an official capacity and more than likely will spin out of Future State in March or April.
