I’m not entirely against the new solicts with Damian teaming up with Diana. I’m sure Diana can show Damian how a true warrior get it done.
Not that Id expect them to since obvious reasons but it would've been nice if we revisited Dianas "armory" and put together her outfit that way
And this is what she should look like. Add pants to it if you want
or
If you mean by use Injustice as how not to design WW outfits than yeah sure.
Something seriously ironic that the best selling and most talked about run for Wonder Woman in years being the one that has Super and batman Characters and written by a writer reviled by the Wonder Woman fanbase [the CBR Ww fans at least]
It's become more and more evident that this forum isn't remotely reflective of the wider WW fandom.

Most people here complaining about Superman and Batman like what King is doing, they just want more WW lore in it.

I hate to say it but the Wonder Woman fandom is too small to make any difference in the big scheme of things. So the only way her series becomes best selling and talked about is if it caters to people who are not Wonder Woman fans. This is why the Azarello run became so famous despite being disliked by Wonder Woman fans.
For the casual fans, a Wonder Woman book which defines her in terms of Superman and Batman is the best way to write her. There is a reason that for a vast number of people, DCAU version of Wonder Woman is the definitive adaptation, even though it changes almost everything about her from the comics.
If some writer comes along and make a Wonder Woman book which is about her being Batman's girlfriend, it will sell like hot cakes but I doubt Wonder Woman fans will be thrilled.
Most of posts in the reviews thread whenever they come up are mostly positive, but sure go tilt at some more windmills.
What's being brought up is how the WW is constantly made to share space for Superman and Batman but the same courtesy is almost never extended vice-versa or when it is it's just WW being used as a prop for how awesome Superman and Batman are. King's Batman run or Priest's Superman run having Lois tell Diana she sucks.
Yeah people mostly like King's run here with mostly everyone hating the focus on Bat and Super family. Twitter and Reddit are the places where people really hate King's run. But Twitter hates everything so that really isn't relevant.
Wonder Woman proping up Batman and Superman are why people here are not looking forward to Absolute Power or World's Finest because the writer has history of doing that.
Superman was in literally one issue. Unless you think people are buying this book for the Super-Sons backup and not the main story?
Tom King isn't perfect. I have my criticisms, but--barring Trinity & the nepo-twins, which I've been skipping--I've been fine with his run thus far for the most part.
The latest round of complaints on this particular forum have more to do with Absolute Power and how that's going to muck up the title for the next few months. But that's not Tom King's fault. That's an editorially mandated crossover.
It's truly remarkable the extent at which DC Comics makes being a Wonder Woman fan an endurance test.
