These moments here need to be highlighted.
The right questions are raised and answered. They make the sacrifices needed together and whatever after effects they get through it all together. No shortcuts And they came to the conclusion and accepted the fate that if death had to be then it would be an honorable death. This is the kind of “death” that’s way more meaningful. I’m sure there’s more moments similar from Pre52 as well such as “League of One”. That should’ve been done had an adaptation. The limitations set upon Superman and Wonder Woman and the rehashed stories aren’t doing any good.
LOL Rebirth is the total opposite of what it should be
the backwards mindset of it doesn’t make any sense.
As for as power levels:
Superman holds back because he is fighting against himself at the wrong freaking time. He needs to have confidence and Diana needs to train him period. He is strong physically, but emotionally, mentally, and at times strategically/skillfully he is not. Punching hard doesn’t mean anything without the flow of skills.
Wonder Woman has gone completely backwards. She is to be a demiGodess and one of if not the greatest warrior of the Amazons and fighter in the DCU. But all through rebirth, she’s been getting knocked down so easily. She is now mentally and emotionally weak.
We’re not talking about making them brutes, but the fights with even street level like villains are embarrassing, especially knowing Superman and Wonder Woman should be going against Gods and powerful intergalactic villains.
