    (In all honesty though, I think it's actually a little off that Hippolyta appears that eager to have grandchildren... especially when it appears not to not even have crossed Diana's mind.)
    That's a good way to bring some laughs!

    I am not happy to see her separated completely. In my view Diana shall go to Paradise Island once in a while. At least have conversations through the mind mirror. If you don't mind me asking where are these panels from?

    Diana not having a thought about a kid is probably due to the writers. There is stigma associated with superheros as parents. It 'ages' them according to many. Her neglect has been brought up in another thread. There were imaginary stories with kids for Superman or Batman. People find it somewhat difficult to think of a mother and a superhero. I am not painting everyone with the same brush. For a lot of them its more subtle. Something even writers may not be aware of.

    I pin the in story reason as Diana being busy. But since you have brought it up it does seem odd. She is best friends with Bruce and Clark. It should have crossed her mind.

    Simone's run... she's pretty much the only writer who'd get away with something like this and not cause somekind of internet meltdown.

    I think thats true, especially when it comes to high-profile female characters that you can't really have 'going away' for 9 months or bounce around being a superhero while hevily pregnant... since some people will think both her and the writer being irresponsible about the child.
    Like notice whenever biological kids of female heroes tend to be either from the future, made of magic or even conceived when the character has been in limbo.

    I pin it down as either Steve really being the one and only. Or that Diana is actually a little picky about who she might fancy. Like I dont think we've really gotten much of a clue to what Diana is actually looking for or at in a partner.

    If only there were a mind mirror Diana would have no end to it!
    Of course she's eager to be a grandmother if Thomas Andrew Tresser is the father
    If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

    In other news, water: wet. Never said anything about it being wrong for a woman, just it being wrong for THIS woman. And she has never displayed any desire to have kids in any canon issue I can recall.


    2) Steve and Diana actually married and had a child at one point pre Crisis
    That was the Earth-2 Wonder Woman and Steve, not "our" Pre-Crisis WW. "Our" PC Earth-1 Diana married Steve and then promptly devolved back into clay around the Crisis, IIRC, to make way for the Post-COIE version to come later.


    3) I'm not seeing any evidence provided in your post as to why Diana isn't cut out for motherhood

    A child needs a stable environment with someone to watch over them when they are out heroing. Bruce has Alfred for Damian (and soon Selina) in Wayne Manor. Clark has Lois for Jon at the farm. Diana has no one, and no stable home.

    More to the point, Wonder Woman MUST have her own editorial before any child (either as a 10-year-old out of nowhere like Damian and Jon OR the whole Diana is pregnant in real-time for 9 months route) can be introduced. An editorial that will protect said child from simply disappearing with the next creative team.

    I'm not seeing any evidence provided by anyone as to why Diana is cut out for motherhood right now (and for the foreseeable future). Because she isn't.

    Why? It’s not the 1940s any more. William Marston no longer writes Diana.

    I can. Gail Simone’s run.

    It still shows precedent. Damian Wayne wasn’t supposed to be in continuity until he was.

    Diana has Steve, Etta and once they get back in the book, Donna, Cassie and the Amazons.
    And there is nothing remotely stable about the Batfamily.

    This is about the only thing I agree with.

    She’s about as cut out for parenthood as Bruce and Clark were before they suddenly had kids.

    I don't think our Diana should be a mother. Unlike Bruce and Clark, it would affect her physically and take her out of action for a considerable period. I would like to see an Earth-Two daughter: Lyta Trevor, Fury. Have her operate on earth alongside Helena Wayne Huntress and Karen Star Power Girl. I think comic readers are open-minded (with the Multiverse concept) enough now to accept off-worlder off-spring interacting with their parental counterparts.

    As long as there's a story. She's a kick ass mother in The Dark Knight Master Race to a teenage daughter and an infant son.

    Unless she makes it out of clay.

    I disagree. It is a comic book after all. If Xena: Warrior Princess, Sydney Bristow and Spider-woman can all battle baddies while heavily pregnant, then Wonder Woman can too!

    But, I'm still not in favour of Diana having a child at this time.

    And of course after Xena had her daughter there was a 25 year time jump so she was all grown up, and Sydney's daughter was pretty much the end of the show.
    I have no idea about Spider-Woman or how Catwoman's daughter was resolved.

    Isn't she like the original Helena Wayne Huntress? A character whose childhood we didn't really get to see and who was introduced after Earth 2 Wonder woman had retired?

    I thing Drew still has her kid... as does Tigra and her kitten.
    Catwoman ended up adopting hers away, not surprising considering how everyone and everything were coming at her and targeting the kid as part of that.

    If its the current Earth-2, then no... Fury is Donna and she's Diana's daughter... why didn't she just come over to the main Earth instead of the current Donna?

    I only remember that Stephenwolf was her father(nothing good) and a few more, she was with the father before change of side..

    DC wiki surprised me, seems that her name is DONNA of Amazon Island(or I forgot this), Fury is one alias.. But nothing wrong with the parents..
