    I don't remember this at all to be honest. I guess its because Rebirth was just more memorable to me and I remember commenting about how different it was, even subtly, from other WW origin stories.

    Makes by point all the more clearer methinks

    Yeah, I vastly preferred Rucka's first run on WW, so it's probably no surprise that I had absolutely no recollection of his Rebirth revamp.
    Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.

    There was no mask in this accounting of Wonder Woman's origin story!! Not to mention...Hippolyta didn't really protest WW's admission into the games (hence why she doesn't wear a mask). She tries to dissuade her from participating sure, but it's not an outright ban like in the original story as told by Marston.

    So, what does this mean? Is King trying to signal that Rebirth is no longer canon? Is he a secret Azzarello stan!? How cool am I for noticing this major lore change?
    Even if Diana didn't wear a mask for Bullets & Bracelets (she didn't in the Perez run), she almost certainly wore one for the Contest of Champions.
