A thought occurred to me that for quite a while, DC (and everyone else) has gotten a habit of giving their characters weapons of various kinds (usually old types) whenever they want to say the stakes have totally been raised or 'now take this character seriously'. Like Wonder Woman for the most part could get by with her fists and her lasso, but whenever a more meaty challenge showed up, like Medusa, she'd quickly have both a sword and shield added to her gear. And this happened often enough that it's now become a standard part of her gear since the New 52.
I dont personally have a problem with this, but at the same time I dont think it should happen with everyone or become permanent.
Now since this is comics, and comics are like video games, where everything works sort of equally well, here is a small game.
Imagine a character, any character, that you have to arm in some way, which character would you give a weapon and what kind of weapon would it be?
