@archizoom: limitations are always arbitrary for every character. Seriously, Kryptonite? He's deathly weakened by a substance from his home planet? He's immune to basically all radiation, but irradiated rocks from his home world will kill him? Think about how stupid that sounds. Red solar energy is logical, but why does he have a weakness to Magic? Because a writer somewhere along the road wanted him to face a magical opponent and to make the story interesting. WW's weakness to sharp weapons is a direct result of giving her the bracers. Originally something that was done to show an amazing skill (being able to block bullets with her incredible speed and skill) was translated into a weakness to sharp weapons. Not breathing in space is an easy thing to fix, could just be something she has to learn, could be she gets an artifact from Hephaestus could just be that she's still,growing more powerful and will simply out grow the limitation. Personally I don't love the idea of WW in space for her adventures. She's a character rooted in the fantasy side of the genre not SciFi much like GL is SciFi not fantasy so I don't really want to see him fighting Olympians and Dragons and such ... Let him fight interstellar fleets.

Boundaries and limitations for characters are expected, all powerful heroes are dull. Now we know WW is limited in outer space ... Give her a challenge that exposes that weakness and watch how she overcomes it (because she will) and you'll have a much more interesting story than WW is an unbeatable powerhouse who goes around the galaxy destroying all evil without a challenge.

@agent41: there are certainly consistency issues with her in the N52, but there is also a LOT of exposure across many titles which will help broaden her appeal. I think Azzarello has done a good job within a limited scope but am looking forward to new writers to flush out many of the areas he ignored.

@archizoom: you are paying attention to the fact that she's becoming more powerful right? And her wiping the floor with Faora was evident as was Zods respect for her. Characters like Diana are meant to grow over time. I see none of this "terrified for her" you are reading into the story. In fact at one point he asks her what to do as he realizes she knows better than he does. You cheapen the character by hunting for reasons to hate the story being told.

@archizoom: I think you and I are reading totally different comic books. Zod broke his arm, he wasn't holding back, he was getting his ass handed to him. True Clark is never going to be looking at using lethal force, unlike Diana, but that doesn't mean he wasn't using his full power to fight Zod, an opponent he can go all out against without worry of killing with one hand.

Apollo only got manhandled by a sun-dipped SM ... If he hadn't done that SM would have been crushed as explicitly shown when Apollo b!tch slapped him through half a mountain.

I don't get you ... For weeks you've been PISSED that Diana loses every fight and how that is an affront to feminism, then when she actually kicks ass you say it's an affront to feminism because it's just pandering (in your opinion) to her fans? She doesn't come across as stupid or over powered to me in this issue, she looks capable and maybe a tad too ruthless ... I suspect she would have killed Faora and Zod without blinking, which is a miss characterization IMO, Diana would only kill someone if left no other option. Certainly she is not the greatest interpretation of WW I've ever read, but she's not the worst either ... Have you read some of the 1950s WW? Or plenty of stories from the 1960-80s ... She's been through her ups and downs, this is a blip in the road.

@superguy1591: so my stupid account won't let me log in from my home computer as jdhaddad1973 ... Apologies for the handle confusion!

He absolutely pursues Diana through the entire second half of the series. And she's on to his BS as she calls him out in subtle ways on a number of occasions ... Like humming the song he sang for her as she walks away. This is by no means a dark version of BM in the JLU series, nowhere close to a badboy and Diana is obviously a younger less mature individual in the early seasons, but by the time they start to explore the relationship she has grown quiet a bit and is somewhat amused by Bruce's hard to get routine.

@primebonnick: I know dozens of gay dudes who have kids (including biological kids) ... Doesn't eliminate the possibility, just makes it a little more difficult to navigate.

@archizoom: WW and SM during the second battle were deliberately losing in order to build up the power of the armor Hephaestus built for Doom ... The the comment "do you think 100 is enough". It should be obvious to the most casual reader that WW had Faora well in hand and Zod was more than impressed with her.

PS I am the same poster as jdhaddad1973 ... For some reason I couldn't log into my account and was forced to build a new profile :(

@archizoom: winning is winning consider this a morales off exercise

@archizoom: by her actions she is no longer an Amazon. She's rogue and is bent on world domination
