Wonder Woman's origins are that of a World World II hero but in Wonder Woman, they set the film for WW1, which was a wise change on Jenkins' part. The story was more personal and everything tied into the 'War to End All Wars' seamlessly to what the DCEU is telling with their hero's, especially the origin side of things and how it is set up to come full circle. We'll see what they decide on as far as time period is concerned for Wonder Woman 2 and have those loose ends tied up. Justice League will probably touch upon some of those things.
she's been here being a heroine for the past 70something years and nobody knows of her outside of 1 photo Wayne obtains from the war?
Two words: Lex Luthor. Though Diana fought in the war, during that time period, there was no trace of a Wonder Woman existing other than what was left on the battlefield. The only true piece of evidence was that photo and Lex got his hands on it.
Diana's naive nature fooled her into thinking her kind could change a man's world until she harshly came to the realization that no matter how powerful and mighty, Gods shouldn't interfere with man's creation. Instead, she went back into hiding but only as a silent protector, always keeping tabs on humanity until the day a larger threat loomed. She could have went back to Themyscira during the events that took place in Man of Steel, only to trace her lost photo back to Gotham during BvS in the modern day.
In BvS, the only existence of Steve Trevor was taken from her (brilliant and emotional tie-in) by Lex, which brought her back just in the nick of time to fight alongside Supes and Bats vs Doomsday and witness Superman's sacrifice that would convince her that standing alongside man has a purpose and that humanity is still good. Superman's selfless sacrifice in a fractured world paved the way of the modern hero and showed Bruce and Diana (two distant crime fighters/warrior's stemming from the past and personal loss) what it truly means to be a hero in the face of an imperfect world. Men are still good and their purpose is to serve and protect no matter the circumstances, especially with the threat of Darkseid looming and I'm sure Diana knows ALL about Apokolips as we know Themyscira was attacked or is GOING to be attacked by Darkseid and his forces.
