Even if he wasn't expecting it he should have been able to react to it."That's not the only time they've fought. And the fact that he thought he was fighting Doomsday is a Plus for Wonder Woman. She took on an enraged Superman throwing punches and unleashing heat vision blasts designed to stop the only thing that's ever killed him (or come close). She's a tank. It wasn't like she was getting stumped and pulled out the tiara in a last ditch effort to save herself. She was holding Maxwell Lord in one hand and damn near killing Superman with the other. She was holding back the whole fight. Think about that. She stood in there against Superman and the whole time he was trying to kill her while she was holding back. That's impressive."
It's not an advantage for her when we're talking about the characters fighting to the best of their abilities.
Sure, Superman went all out in that issue. He'd be going all out if we talked about him here. Thus, it's no advantage at all while him not knowing about that tiara (cause Doomsday doesn't have magical weapons) is a huuuuuge advantage for Diana.
And the tiara was a last ditch effort. She was getting absolutely stomped before she cut his throat with it."
Yes both characters would be going all out in this, which is why the Wonder Woman vs Superman fight is important to note. It shows Wonder Woman's durability. Which I'm sorry if u disagree is an advantage.
The tiara wasn't even an magic attack until it touched him. Even if he wasn't expecting that particular move he's been in enough fights to expect the unexpected. He didn't dodge it cause he wasn't fast enough. Not because he didn't expect it.
Here's the end of the fight. It wasn't a last ditch effort to save her life, it was a last ditch effort to save Superman. Her intention was never to go toe to toe with Superman in an all out "my powers and abilities vs yours". It was to survive his onslaught long enough to free him from Maxwell Lord. Which she did with flying colors.
