Diana and Clark’s fight to the death destroyed planet Earth
The revelation that Diana killed Clark shocks the Amazon, because she had no memory of killing one of her closest friends. However, the sight of Superman’s body and the robot’s explanations soon jog her memory, uncovering the events that led to Diana killing Clark and their world-ending battle. The flashback shows that people have targeted the Amazons, with Clark saying goodbye to them and assuring Diana that the people have no intention of killing her people. This promise proves to be empty, viz World leaders, unbeknownst to Superman, launch nuclear bombs at Themyscira and across the globe, targeting the Amazons.
Despite her best efforts to intercept the nukes launched into Themyscira, the island is still exhausted. Consumed by grief and rage, Wonder Woman blames Superman for the destruction of her home, her mother, and her sister. This leads to a brutal battle between the two who set the ground flames, later known as “The great fire.” Their fight eventually brings them to the Fortress of Solitude, where Wonder Woman shatters one of Superman’s personal kryptonite reserves. With jagged pieces of kryptonite in her fists, she pummels the Man of Steel until he is backed against his throne. It is here that Diana drives her fist through his chest, killing him.

Does Wonder Woman killing Superman prove that she is the stronger being?
Diana’s bracelets of submission are the only thing keeping her powers in check
The fight to the death between Wonder Woman and Superman is the ultimate showcase of Diana’s powers, especially since she has removed her bracelets of submission in an effort to use enough strength to stop the nuclear warheads. Diana has worn the bracelets since childhood to control her immense power, so their absence reveals her abilities to their full potential while diminishing her self-control to some extent. Despite Diana not holding back, it is unlikely that Clarke is fighting to kill. However, he was fighting back as hard as he could until the end. This suggests that Wonder Woman Power levels really exceed Superman’s.
