@orangebat:
Batman was talking about muscle memory
With all due respect you did not answer my question. Why would Batman bring up "muscle memory" if it has no relevance to Wonder Woman's combat speed Vs Superman? Why would he make the comparison between and distinction between Usain Bolt and Bruce Lee asking who is faster. Batman was clearly suggesting Wonder Woman is faster than superman when it comes to combat. Even in The sacrifice Story ARC Superman literally missed 95% of his haymakers while Wonder Woman landed all of her punches and kicks.
So no, based on her own movie, she's not in Superman's power league.
What is a "power league" how are you defining it? the only way this makes sense is if you put it into some kind of context.
If you are trying to say Superman is stronger than Wonder Woman I dont think anyone would really argue that. Atleast I don't.
if you are trying to say in a combat situation Wonder Woman is out of Supermans league? Then I completely disagree. Superman can lift 5 quitillion tons and push a planet ETC. Wonder Woman does not need to do any of that in order to go toe to toe with superman as evidenced in like 40 years of comic history
There is no fight competition in the history of the world that even uses RAW STRENGTH as a measure of how good a fighter is going to be. Weight is used for obvious reasons and speed and technique are used.
The winner of a strong man contest does not automatically make him the most powerful fighter in the world
You know, I just watched the movie's battle scenes on YouTube again, especially the Ares one. Wonder Woman can barely lift anything heavier than a tank most of the film, gets knocked on her ass by an explosion, which also wrecks her hearing and defeats Ares by using her gauntlet-smashing deus ex machina magic, which was supposed to be one of Ares' weaknesses and which Superman prevents her from using in the film. She's also not at all that fast when you compare her to other non-humans in the film.
You are Cherry picking from 3 different directors interpretation. Zack Patty and Joss. which is not useful.
In General
Wonder Woman is about BATTLE, SKILLS, TACTICS and TRAINING. Why are you focused on her durability,strength and raw speed? Wonder Woman simply needs to be is strong, fast and durable ENOUGH. To utilize her battle skills against beings like Superman which she consistently does in comics and even in the Justice League Movie (although I dont like how they handled it)
You say Wonder Woman is on Spidermans "Level" whatever that mean. Meanwhile she is able to headbutt and get headbutted by Superman full force and get right back up in seconds unharmed. She is able to take Doomsdays heat vision and Full force Punch and just smile about it. What do you think would happen to Spiderman?
