He could easily wide angle heat vision the birds. Or used X-Ray vision to see through them. Or just super-speeded past them. But frankly, it's a whatever for me on this point.
But not a creature with some of the abilities and tricks Wonder Woman did. It means one can argue he made poor tactical choices in the fight, one's he wouldn't do if he knew he was fighting Wonder Woman.Means nothing. He thought he was fighting a creature that had killed him once before. He was NOT playing around. He was going for the kill with every, single, attack.
Really? I'm not going to claim to be an expert on Superman(or Wonder Woman for that matter), but I am pretty sure I've seen comics where Superman shrugs off sonic attacks pretty easily. In fact, you'd think his enemies would use them more if they were a big problem for him.Nope. It's quite consistent. With his super-hearing, high-powered sonics are a real problem for him.
I certainly agree that making her a second superman isn't going to change that. Look at Billy Batson for proof of that. I guess the issue I have is that the masterful fighter stuff always feels like talk, her magical expertise is usually limited to mythological stuff, and definitely isn't brought up when an actual magician like Dr Fate or Zatanna shows up. The Master Strategist stuff is a cool idea, but no way is DC gonna let Batman loose that title.Well, making her as strong and as fast as Superman wouldn't change that either.
She's the teams magical expert, a masterful fighter, and she's powerful enough to slug it out with the biggest and baddest baddies in the DCU. If I had my way, she'd also be the teams master strategist and battlefield commander. That's enough.
