About halfway through Wonder Woman, while Steve and Diana head to the war front, she stops to buy an ice cream, and she loves it.

It's a sweet moment of levity in the dramatic action-adventure movie ... but it's also a secret Easter egg for longtime fans of Diana, a character whose love of ice cream dates back to the comics.

Twitter user @SergioEES highlighted the inside joke by placing the movie scene along side a nearly identical one from the animated movie Justice League: War.

According to Movie Pilot, Diana's love of ice cream shows up in the 2012 graphic novel Justice League: Origin. In the comic, animated series, and now the new Wonder Woman movie, Diana makes sure to congratulate the ice cream vendor on his spectacular achievement.

To celebrate the movie's release, Cold Stone Creamery now has Wonder Woman ice cream (dark chocolate triple berry, with chocolate shavings, raspberries, and gold glitter). We hope they're proud of their achievement.

Wonder Woman is now in theaters.
