The trailer seemed to clear something up about BvS…

But what made no sense was that the photograph was on Lex Luthor Jr's private server in his house. So if it is on a server, it is digital, therefore there can be millions of copies of the file in existence in backups, on the web, the cloud, etc. So getting the picture back is irrelevant in the timeframe that BvS is set in.

It obviously has sentimental value for her.
So she had the original photo but wanted a digital one too?
That's what she took. A DIGITAL photo that can be easily copied.
Is she so sentimental that she wants all the digital photos as well as the original one?
That makes no sense, sorry. -

Who says she had a solid copy of the photo in BvS?
Who says she doesn't?
We're going by what we 'know'.
It's a DIGITAL COPY she claims he took from her.
She breaks into his server just to steal a friggin' digital image.
She could have just asked him for a print if it's not a big deal that he knows shes Wonder Woman, but the fact that he has it and placed it in a folder with her 'wonder woman logo' on it (did he create it?) seems to indicate that he knew who she was and she didn't want him to leak it. She even lied to Bruce about it.
Why go through all that hassle if hiding who she was is irrelevant?
She could have said:
"Hey Lex, this is Wonder Woman, can you send me a copy of my WWI pic, I lost the original and need to print out another one?"
Nope, she sneaks in and steals it like it's a big secret.
It wasn't about sentimentality it was about hiding her identity because clearly the public isn't aware of her anymore. -

Who says she doesn't?
The fact that there's no evidence to suggest that she did perhaps?
Also, why would she just ask Lex for the photograph? Why would she just assume that he would give it to her, or that he's someone she can trust with her identity? Obviouusly, the fact that she's not straight-up telling people that she's a 5000 year old Amazon should have been a pretty big clue that she didn't want people to know her identity, but that doesn't seem like the primary reason for her trying to get that photograph back, going by the latest trailer.
On another note, iI don't think the public was EVER aware of her. -

The picture definitely seems a lot more important than we thought. Originally I just thought it would be more of an easter egg for the Wonder Woman movie, but seeing her looking at it in the movie, it's got a lot more significance.

Good point.
It's one of the many complaints about BvS that I agreed with regarding Wonder Woman's weird motivations for being around (how do you wipe out a digital file by copying it?!), but if the reason she wanted it was just to have it, then that makes more sense.
How does it feel to be deconstructed?
