    Default Who should be taller - Wonder Woman or Big Barda?

    Both are female warriors known for their strength, albeit with different approaches to conflict. Should one be noticeably taller than the other?

    Barda should be taller, but not by that much...

    I think they would probably be close, but Barda should definitely be taller.

    When did Wonder Woman start to get so tall? Does anyone know?

    Kirby never really drew barda that tall, but Barda being a TALL woman (at least 6'6") makes a lot of sense to me. Diana should be taller than average, but not that far off the curve. But these are my personal desires and when it comes to stats on imaginary women, YMMV.

    It's the high heels and platform shoes.
    You can see her collection of them advertised on her site Amazon.com.

    Yeah, I remember it was a big thing that she was taller then Superman in that.

    Barda.

    I like WW being anywhere from 6" to 6"2, so not that much shorter than Barda (6"6' to 6"8), but not at her height level either.

    Barda should be close to 7 feet. She even looks down on Superman.

    I prefer my Wonder Woman New Frontier style (tall and build like a brick house) but Barda should be NBA levels of tall. 6'6" at a absolute minimum.

    She's a friggin god, and her name starts with "BIG."

    Definitely Barda. Diana as super tall just wouldn't work with an alias, IMO.
