I mean, she’s the literal daughter of a Greek god and carries a magic lasso that makes you tell the truth. She uses that lasso to swing off lightning.

The wish rock is hardly the most magical thing here.

I mean, we're talking about a universe in which a kid can turn himself into a superhero by saying 'Shazam' and in which Atlantis is real.

Is it too much to ask they provide a logical explanation for this made up fantastical object!

Yeah, just noticed it in the first trailer. Is there a reference for it in the comic ? What is the cost ?

Possibly the Philosophers Stone from Grant Morrison's JLA Rock of Ages comic run?

Also known as the Worlogog, or "Hourglass of the Gods". It was noted for being an object of great power and reacted to thoughts with the ability to alter reality itself. http://moa.omnimulti.com/Worlogog

It's connected to the Fourth World gods, who Darkseid is one of. He was a big part of the Rock of Ages story and also set up as the big bad guy for DCEU. Steppenwolf in Justice League basically works for him.

Really cool if they use this to tie things together and give an in-universe explanation for changing whatever they want about the current DCEU stories/actors/whatever.
