Someone who wants to remain that naive is bound to be bitterly disapointed, and an aparent abandonment by her homeland by her own people might well push her off the edge. But do I want that for Wonder Woman permanently? No way. That's an extreme. Moxie is one thing. Militarism is another.

ok, not your lady. thats cool... but it appears that you did enjoy the story, for the entertainment value, at least. understanding that it wasn't THE wonder woman, but also understanding that, in those situations, it could have been .... uh... be. ... or something. (stupid future past perfect progressive!!)

I never really got into the JLA in the Morrison run

this is prolly my most indepth experience with wondie. and, i assume, thats true for most comic book fans, whose only real exposure to characters like wonder woman, martian manhunter, kyle, flash, even aquaman was thru morrison's explosively popular JLA.

so, from my perspective, not really having all the backstory, so to speak, on wondie... i really liked morrison's take. in fact, i re-read the TPB of the first four issues of his run last night, and... ...DAMN i miss that guy!

granted, ww was in no way the starring figure of that series, at least, but... morrison's jla was, quite simply, cool. i think he did an excellent job of characterizing each of the big 7.

i suggest it! (i think his whole run is available in several tpbs)

The only thing I didn't like about his KC WW, was the "rush to fight" trait. His Diana gets pissed, and slams her fist down on a table, breaking it. Yeah, she can do that kind of thing...but should she let her emotions get that much a handle on her? No, I don't think so.

well, admitedly, thats a "different" diana. thats a war-torn, scary-world diana. and, i think, based on the little i know, a pretty good prediction of a wonder woman, who had developed in that particular world. (like those police sketches of missing children, when they "age them" by 10 or 20 years... mebbe not perfect, but pretty good based on what little is known)

Do you like Grant Morrison's JLA Wonder Woman?No. He either ignored her, or made a fool out of her. There was one issue...where she was seen going through a building, it might've been three buildings actually, and she had a concusion and was basically dazed and out of it for most of the story after that. That kind of treatment ticks me off.

hmm...

have you (any one?) read the jla/wildcats cross over? its morrison written. ... pretty cool wondie there. she's kick ass, strong, ready to fight, but also'd prefer to talk things out, first, and come to a resolution.

eh?

Do you like Bruce Timm's animated JL Wonder Woman?Yes, I do. She's a young woman (early 20's) and has a lot of the characteristics of a woman in her early adult years. She's also slightly cocky but able to come through in a jam and doesn't worry about herself when it comes to helping others. For a "new hero" (in this continuity) she's great.

hmm... her youth might be the only thing that bugs me. ... not that it bugs me, its actually pretty cool and handled very well.

but... i dunno, i like thinking that 'the big three' are the 'classic three.' that clark, bruce, and diana have been around and know each other... n'stuff. like the epilogue that appears in the kingdom come tpb, where the three meet at the super-hero theme resteraunt.

i likes that
