Jeph's treatment of WW in Superman and Batman.
The infamous part where Superman easily overpowered her and killed her with her own lasso. I heard somebody said that the writer explained later, that this is not Diana, and she didn't have all of Diana's powers. Is this true? Where can i find the interview where he explains this?

That was a timeline manipulation by Lightning Lord, Saturn Queen, and Cosmic King (aka The Legion of Supervillains) that led to the same ole same ole Evil Superhero scenario that I would love never again to see in my lifetime. All I remember is that Diana killed Batman (because he was evil, I guess) and then Superman, devastated by his friend's death, went ballistic on Diana. It reeked to me of the all-too-common fetishizing of female characters being killed by male characters in comic books. Fridging, if you will. Maybe I am wrong and maybe this is a highly regarded masterpiece of storytelling, but to me, it had the stench of fanboy-doing-fanfic.
