Spoilers for how Steve Trevor is back are definitely in play, though. I've already seen headlines promising that (at least they had the decency of not spoiling it in the headline itself).

I can see that kind of stuff being allow to come out this far in advance, lots of it usually does, but I am surprised they let something as spoilery as the YA novelization slip through the cracks.
Two delays probably made it impossible to stall a third time. Plus it’s always forgotten that these novelazations are almost always out right BEFORE release. Which means they give away a bit and hold on to certain secrets. No film is completely unspoiled before release.
In recent years the big fan complaint is that trailers and tv spots give away too much. Going into a movie completely in the dark is impossible. It’s likely many of these spoilers would have been in trailers before the films release. But those are been delayed.

Honestly, it's not as much as an empty threat is it might seem.
While home streaming is an economically viable market for the low to mid-budget movies, especially when the need for a massive and expensive marketing campaign is nullified. There's still however a budget threshold--mostly the tentpole blockbusters--where you do actually need a theatrical release to have even a hope to recoup the investment.
Yes, in the exhibitors follow through with this they'll be dooming themselves, but they'll be taking big budget movies with them. So really, it's a game of chicken. Movie studios will be forced to choose between a little profit and a lot of profit...and they generally prefer a lot of profit. The exhibitors on the other hand probably feel like they're doomed anyway, so this is their only chance to survive.
They used to come out before the movie, but any more. Pretty much all of the novelizations I've seen over the last decade or so have come out after the movie.
I think the Doritos tie-in has been around since early May, possibly late April. This year's definitely been interesting in revealing how far in advance these various marketing tie-ins are planned.
So when the CEO of Warner's was asked if Tenet or Wonder Woman could skip a theatrical release his reply was, "I can assure you with Tenet, that’s not going to be the case."
Given how bad the plot sounds based on the novelisation leaks maybe it'd be for the best?

No way to make the money back if they skipped the theatrical release. Granted, with social distancing measures in place and theatres limited to roughly 1/4 seating capacity, making back production costs with a theatrical release is going to be tricky anyway.
There was a lot of neon and pastels in the mid to late eighties if my yearbooks are anything to go by.
It's funny, I recently watched an 'Abandoned Mall' video about the mall just outside of Washington D.C. where they filmed some of the scenes in Wonder Woman and the art department really didn't have to do anything to dress the mall up to make it look like 1984. It really was stuck in the 1980's.
Yeah, I was searching old movie posters, and with more searching found some images of an old mall that was near my uni. I forgot how gaudy it all was.
New trailer

It looks they went with "Team FuzzyButt"!
Hey! They even gave her digitigrade, paw-like feet!!
I'm a happy lil' furvert!!!
That's a pretty great trailer.
It looks Ike Steve is the fish out of water in this movie ... and source of most of the comedy? I sense a lot of people will have a lot of nostalgia simultaneously with a need for a lot of therapy, as well as search for photos to burn or unscan
I really want to know how and why Steve is back, and hope those questions get answered.
