Wonder Woman, in the comics, has been flying for decades. Her original version could not. And the version that was brought the screen in the 1970s TV series with Lynda Carter could not -- because her comic version at the time couldn't either. But in 1985 DC Comics did a complete reboot to their entire fictional universe and major changes to some characters were made. Superman, for example was significantly depowered -- pre-crisis Superman had become so ludicrously powerful that it seriously impaired the ability of writers to tell compelling, dramatic stories about him; I mean, how do you challenge a character that is practically as powerful as God Himself? (Superman's backstory was changed as well, so that he never was Superboy when he was younger; and the backstories of a lot of other characters were changed or at least tweaked as well -- this was, as I said, a complete reboot of DC continuity.) After Crisis on Infinite Earths Wonder Woman was powered up quite significantly. Pre-crisis, her power level was about on the same level as Captain America in the Marvel cinematic universe: superhuman, with the strength of twenty or thirty men, superhuman agility and toughness, but not invulnerable, can't fly, etc. Post-crisis Wonder Woman was powered up to such a degree that she's probably the 2nd or 3rd hero character behind Superman in terms of strength (Captain Marvel/Shazam and Martian Manhunter probably still come ahead of her), and she's much tougher and more damage resistant than her earlier version, as well as having the ability to fly.

It was great

Classic one doesn't, she started doing that in the comic back in the 80's.

Wonder Woman in the 60s could "glide on air currents" so this movie actually is more true to the original than in the 80s when she gained the ability to fly like Superman.

This WW has Supergirl envy. It would have been cooler if she just swung herself with her lasso and jumped. I don't care that they added flying in the comics. Wonder Woman flying seems wrong, very wrong.

Steve kinda taught her how

I'm surprised you are asking this. Everyone was wondering where the heck her flying powers were in the 2017 movie. So with that, she is known to be able to fly. I wasn't a big Wonder Woman fan before the 2017 movie or even Batman V Superman, but even I knew she could fly. It's almost common knowledge at this point about her. That was actually one of my favorite parts of this new movie. When she started flying, my reaction was "finally!!!" My second reaction was, "well, now everyone can give it a rest on if Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman can fly since she is now flying and 'unlocked'/figured it out."
