    I just watched the Barbie movie, and thought that there were some similarities between WW and Barbie (both coming from a feminist utopia, both going into the 'real world' and being totally unprepared...

    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 :-)

    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...

    +1
    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).

    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.

    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...

    Sorry, I'm late... I didn't follow the thread too closely.

    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.
