@agent41: I have no idea, this never happened with Simone. I still hate Diana not being bullet proof too.

I just want the witching hour to start.

Wonder Woman's not bullet proof?? Why??

@incursion2: Reasons.

Ok that with the 40ft is rly just incredibly stupid and absurd, even DCEU WW would be already significantly faster than that...

The cover looks pretty cool and Mayfly seems very interessting though.

@agent41: The same thing happens to Batgirl and yet again only Simone did things right.

The forty feet thing is not supposed to be an accurate analysis of Diana's abilities, it's just Mayfly s**t-talking her.

Wonder woman weakness against sharp objects is one the greatest BS in comic book history

Even old, blind, shriveled chinese octogenerians can parry bullets from 40ft away in Kung Fu movies, not only that but they can slice them in half

DC pls stop this nonsense. This weakness is just so stupid at so many levels. Wonder Woman's always been an intricate character, writers fail to understand that.

@agent41: Nothing really in particular I can remember but when she's written by other females it's like hery intelligence and fighting skills is not at the level it really should be. The current batgirl runs come to mind.

I wouldn't say thats a particular 'female writer' issue with Diana, lots of male writers have the same problem but it's normally only evident when Diana is placed next to say, Superman.

I sort of blame the Carter TV show for this because a lot of Diana's writers comes to her book with that show as their entry point into her world, and while that show did alot of good, getting Diana's powers right wasn't one of them.

But if you boil it down to stereotyping, you could perhaps make the argument that male writers can always fall back on the 'little boy' mentality where a big fight or huge explosion covers the superheroic part of writing superhero comics, while female writers fallback strategy is somewhat different.

Edit: Btw, this issue is actually written by fill-in Steve Orlando.

But nothing as extreme as the difference between Carter and the comic. Like Carter's WW could, if my memory serves, barely lift a car.

Her personality is something else entirely.

They should make her bulletproof, and perhaps that's the only way to stop people from lowballing her.

Lynda Carter is the only faithful portrayal of Diana's character. They did not have budget for faithful depiction of WW power compared to a certain WW 2017 movie.

Superman TV shows have not had anything close to the same impact on Superman the same way Carters WW has had on Diana... because for ages there was no alternative asides comics.

Which again matters the square root of jack when talking about powers!

Yeah, it does matter...

Because you had the Reeve's Superman enforcing the Silver Age notion of Superman being capable of practically doing anything.

And their problem becomes our problem, the source of their problem in turn becomes our problem.

@tedirey: Except Jason is more powerful than Diana and has cooler powers like ability to control air, Wisdom of Athena, speed of Hermes,etc.

Both of which Diana has.

I never understood why they didn't let her show off her command over Zeus's lighting?

@masterwitcher88: Does she? Because I have not seen it in rebirth.

Bullshit, Jason should never be powerful than Diana. The same stupid argument used against Superman. Diana is a God and she should be powerful like everybody else.

@tedirey: Jason is the epitome of DC's laziness with WW franchise. On one hand, we have Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash who have amazing secondary characters went on to spearhead their own franchise and we have WW still getting rebooted and retconned with just one comics.

The fact that they sent away Jason shows how much taught DC gave to the character.

Jason was literally male Diana. He is a complete cliched character. So you want Wonder Woman title given to a male like Marvel did to Thor. People read WW to see kick ass and smart female characters not to read about a dude. Or DC should give him his own comics instead of using Diana's comics.

Honestly, DC should have Wonder Girl comics first like Supersons aimed at younger audience.
