@venomoushatred1001: Don't care if it's canon. Doesn't mean it makes sense. I defy you to find insurmountable evidence of Wonder Woman's structural integrity of her braclets being compromised outside of that scan. Bet you can't/won't.

"Two more blows like that and he'll KILL me. Even my BRACELETS can only withstand hits like that for so long."
So, we have Wonder Woman admitting that a few more hits will break her bracelets. But wait, there's more.

Superman breaks her wrist, despite the protection of the bracelet, by merely grabbing it and squeezing. It would have to bend to do that, and if he can do that just by squeezing his hand, imagine what punching it would do, as Diana previously states they'd break with too many blows. So, yep, there's precedent for Superman breaking them, whether you like it or not.
Also, it wasn't an alternate reality. Pokeysteve had the better term with "alternate timeline," but it wasn't like a divergent timeline. Past had been changed, Superman and Batman eventually learn the truth, and work to set things back to how they're supposed to be. So yeah, I think that qualifies as canon.
@venomoushatred1001: While I would give Thor the majority over Wonder Woman, for you to say there's no way she could win is ridiculous. You're arguing Thor fighting out of character and at the least using a borderline No Limits Fallacy. For example, the soul manipulation thing? You're not showing the actual examples, and so far the ONLY instance we've seen was A: Not actually in battle, B: required a few moments of prep, C: had Loki just standing there the entire time, and D: showed Thor essentially used it as a last resort. What you're describing, what was the context of Thor releasing their souls just like that? Did he have the Odin-Force helping him? Did the fact that the Asgardians weren't in their proper bodies have anything to do with it? Because it being as easy as you're claiming contradicts the only example shown thus far.
And he'll just manipulate her molecules? How often does he even USE matter manipulation, let alone in a fight? The only examples I know of where he using it DIRECTLY on his opponent is against Absorbing Man, someone who's powers make this a much more viable and logical tactic to use against than someone more like Wonder Woman. Plus, how do you know that the NATURE of Absorbing Man's powers didn't effect how easy it was to actually use this? And, like I pointed-out before, the odds of him actually using this are very, very unlikely from what I know.
On Mjolnir will always travel thousands of times lightspeed when used against her, whether it be matter manipulation or just plain attacking her, how is it ONE example of it happening means Mjolnir always travels at those speeds? Mjolnir's been dodged before by people who don't even have any super speed. And here's another thing: I see you like people to prove the durability of Wonder Woman's bracelets and dismiss examples used to back their arguments. How about you prove that Mjolnir really can travel that fast? Mjolnir has space-warping capabilities, how do you know that Mjolnir wasn't just bending space to shorten the distance in that one instance?
In regards to Thor going intangible to avoid the Lasso, never heard of Thor being able to turn intangible before. But good for him if he can, not a valid argument. Unless you give him foreknowledge, I don't see why he'd phase to avoid it. And while I don't know if it can lasso an intangible being(will have to check that) it has shown to restrain those who CAN turn intangible by basically commanding them. Martian Manhunter has been restrained by it before, so even if it can't contain an intangible being, Thor would have no reason to avoid it without knowing he wouldn't be able to escape. Assuming she didn't just super-speed tie him up like she did to Amazo. And if neither Amazo or Superboy Prime could break free, Thor sure ain't.
Now, to tell you why it's ridiculous that Wonder Woman can't ever beat Thor. Yes, he's stronger than her and overall more powerful with his versatility. But the whole being in-character thing? Being in character, Thor fights someone like Wonder Woman, he'll be using little to none of his versatility in the vast majority of fights. He's stronger and more durable than her, but she's faster and more skilled. This will give her the edge to be able to win some fights when Thor is going to mostly make it a face-punching contest to ONLY having it as a face-punching contest. As for her beating Beta Ray Bill, I can't answer that as I've seen little of BRB to know if he'd be more likely to use his versatility advantage or not than Thor.
But hey, since you're taking things to the absolute best of what characters can do and are kinda arguing theoretically, we apply that to the laddies here, then they win every time. All the versatility in the world won't help very much against those with a speed advantage like here. Being more versatile and powerful won't do much good if they beat your face in before you can blink. Good thing I'm not arguing theoretical.
Oh yeah and I had a good laugh at your claim that if Superman can break Wonder Woman's bracelets, that Thor can too.
