Cheetah's look wasn't to bad. Given that she was on the chopper with Max when she made her wish to become 'the apex predator' (why did she get a second wish at all???), she couldn't have any costume...
I finally had a chance to see the movie. I live in Germany, and I don't have HBO (or wherever this runs in streaming), and most movie theaters were closed when the movie was released. I'm not sure to...

which painting is that? I suppose it depicts the legend of Athena and Poseidon fighting for the honor to become the patron of a new city... which later is called Athens :-)

Looks a little like Rubens' "Battle of the Amazons":

In the 'arch enemy' thread I suggested Dr. Psycho as arch enemy, and asked if she is immune to his powers, and the consensus was that she _is_ (at least now).
Those examples are both pre-Crisis. IIRC, in the Perez reboot, it was still said that Diana's costume is based on the US flag (and other symbols) found on the flight suit of Diana Trevor. In Gail...
Are you talking about the first generation of Injustice comics? Did she betray the gods? When she was ordered to fight Superman to the death, she did so and was aiming to kill him, when she was...

Stjepan Sejic should write and draw it.
And my suggestion (I proposed this already some years ago when the same question came up): Heathen (by Natasha Alterici, Vault Comics).

where is this from?
And my pet peeve: where do they do farming, mining, raising the horses, etc.? Everything outside the walls looks like nature, not like farmland...
I often think that Dr. Psycho should be WW's arch-nemesis. He is a fanatical misogynist, and she is (at least in the clay origin) a woman never touched by 'toxic' masculinity. She is also an UN...
That would actually be a nice crossover with Dynamite Comics' 'Bettie Page Unbound' series. In the last TPB, Bettie was Vampirella, Red Sonja and Dejah Thoris.
They had pouches??? With the Ed Benes art, I was always looking at other things... :cool:
I'm a little late to that discussion, and I held off for some days because I wasn't sure if this fits... but I think I have a good idea where Mr. Snyder got his inspiration from.
If you google for...
Slightly OT, but can anyone identify her invisible plane? In an issue of Sensational Comics, Hippolyta came to Diana's aid in an invisible Spitfire, and this one looks similar. Is it canon that she...
I was reminded of Joan of Arc, actually...
Sorry, I'm late... I didn't follow the thread too closely.
In at least one source I have read that in ancient Greece, it was the sign of an unmarried woman to wear a belt on her dress. When she...
I was familiar with the Greek myths before I learned about Wonder Woman, so I do have some issues with the 'artistic license'. I just know how the gods are related and what their responsibilities...
Personally I liked the division into the Themiscyran amazons, using magic and bronze age weapons, and the Bana-Mighdall amazons, using advanced technology. (but get rid of the harem-type costumes...
Heracles wasn't in the Odyssey... he was an Argonaut, i.e. he was on the ship Argo. But it's correct that he was left behind after an altercation.
This one is really nice and shows that Chiang did his homework. The thing on her sword arm is called a 'manica' in Latin, and was used e.g. by gladiators. The shield protects her body and left arm,...
Before you run out and buy it - Aphrodite (and the other goddesses) only appear in two panels...
I'm all for that. My issue was with the portrayal of the gods.
Although the reviews were not too great, I bought that book (boredom due to quarantine will do that...) On the page showing the Five Mothers, I noticed that Aphrodite is drawn as a black woman, and...
If you mean 'the person caught in the lasso will unconditionally obey the person holding the lasso' - I wouldn't like this. It smacks of mind-wiping, which the Justice League once tried with...
In fanfiction, Diana and Hawkgirl (Shayera) frequently are an item, but I don't know if she is supposed to be with Hawkman. I don't follow JL very closely...
