Wonder Woman December Solicits

[Outside_85]

Can she have been the god of war if she never killed the god of war? And can she have killed the god of war if said god of war isn't actually dead?

Well, after reading Metul #2 we learned that Final Crisis is somehow still in continuity in some form...

I'm not reading Metal - isn't about the multiverse/dark multiverse? Is that how Final Crisis is still in continuity or is it in continuity in the current DCU?

It would help if DC could make up theor minds and stick to one continuity for awhile.

Not really an issue.

If we have not read her having the powers then actually being discounted, we can only make a set of assumptions as to if they(or anything like them) did or did not exist for a time.

It would be like assuming for certain that she was not an Amazon during that time.

I don't follow your reasoning here. If Ares isn't dead, she can't have killed him, right? What does that have to do with assuming she was not an Amazon?

Assuming she was not an Amazon is the same as assuming she never had the powers.

We have zero information on either of them. For all we know, powers could have been a part of the illusion. We have a helm that belonged to Ares that came from somewhere. It would also be impossible to maintain an illusion if she tried to use a power only to see she does not actually have it. That would create a bunch of questions.

We'd need way more information than we currently have to be able to conclusively rule out that she ever had those powers(even if she didn't get them the way we/she thought).

I agree that we can't really say much conclusively - especially given the fact that DC changes the "facts" at any given moment.

But I still don't really understand your suggestion of saying she was not an Amazon. Sure, I suppose anything is possible at this point.

The helmet is easy enough to write off (should they choose). We don't know for sure if it ever truly belonged to the real Ares, just that it looks like the same helmet from the Ares in nu52.

Continuity changes often feel like cleaning out the garage - were there's more mess than cleaning.

No, Batman mentions that the reason Bat-Demon is after him, is because of the Omega Sanction Darkseid blasted him with (which was in FC and played out in the Return of Bruce Wayne) and the demon 'saw him' in the past and has been coming ever since. Bruce intended to get Babyseid to blast him again and send him back so Bruce could stop himself from being seen and stopping it all before it happens.

It would, but Scott Snyder has always used Morrisons Batman run as his crutch.

Get zapped into the past to stop himself that got zapped into the past from being seen? Lol. Comics, you are a mess.

Thanks for the summary.

It's a similar sort of assertion to "Diana never had that set of powers." My response in either instance would be the same...

"Okay. What is there that seriously points to that being the case?'

We have some stuff that points to that Diana may never have had the power set, but that's really about it.

You're right, we only have a little to go on at this point, and what we have may even be conflicting. Rucka's approach seemed to be primarily that much of what came before was a "lie." But, with Johns and Robinson moving forward with Jason, some of nu52 - namely Diana's father - seems to still be in play.

My impression, with both nu52 and again with Rebirth, is that DC lacks a clear plan and wings much of it as they go. But, I'm sure they can just chalk it up to Dr. Manhattan meddling with reality.

Here's all you need to know about Metal: there's a new kind of metal introduced called Batmanium. I'm not making that up.

On one hand I feel like a stick in the mud for calling out silly concepts in comics, a medium that thrived on super silliness once upon a time. But man is that silly.

Wait...for real?

[sakuyamons]

Wait...for real?

Yes.

There is also cenobite Batman and demonic Robins.

I hope we see Diana throw down with Granny Goodness in "Children of the Gods".

Ugh... The only thing that could get me excited for Darkseid in the Wonder Woman comics is if the Female Furies appear.

If either of these things happen I'd buy every issue but i just don't care about the New Gods or Darkseid very much and I have hard time seeing how this self contained story is gonna even do such a large scale story justice esp if its only 5(?) or so issues?

Something about this rebirth timeline for her just seems clumsy. Leaving so much hanging with the n52 and then having Rucka's redo of everything to come back to something else while Diana is cut off from Themyscira. I'd rather they spent more time on filler than trying to shoe horn in another big storyline after all thats been happening. I feel like no one gets time to catch up and really understand all thats going on with Diana.

I liked the appearance of Darkseid Baby in Metal but... FINALLY DARKSEID IS HERE AGAIN..
