I like WW, but I don’t claim to know who she is, if you follow me.

Some stuff works for me and some stuff doesn’t. If she’s gonna be killing people, though, I’d prefer it be a future or alternate version of her.

Whoops, by straight there I didn’t mean hetero, I meant it as in… hm. I guess it equates to about “it was a fanboy story, through and through,” but not quite. Georgia slang creeping into my speech again :)

And yeah, WW has been completely post-Crisis for me.

The touches and homages to the WW tv show completely turned me off the series. It felt cornball to me, stupid. It was a straight fanboy story, get me?

Oh, David, David, David…you obviously don’t know the thousands upon thousands of gay men who fell in love with Wonder Woman through the TV show. :)

Seriously, Lynda Carter’s representation of Wonder Woman is spot on.

I’m going to assume your exposure to the Amazonian Princess has been Post-COIE. While there are several things I love about Perez’s re-launch set up Wonder Woman to be less human that her pre-COIE counterpart by taking away her secret identity. Without a secret identity, she has had no touchstone to humanity and, because of that, it has been too easy for writers to portray her as above it all.

You’re definitely right about the Ed McG ‘Superman’, I am consistently let down that every other artist doesn’t see that his design is how Superman _should_ look.

I haven’t read JLA Classified 1-3, and laughed out loud at Wonder Woman’s “I’ve heard that about you, Arthur”. Awesome.
