Isn't being the pillar of Hope^TM Superman's thing?
Honestly, Snyder is not really someone I enjoy working on Diana. He seems to really enjoy speaking in platitudes about Truth, Story and how she's a warrior but it all feels really surface level and like he doesn't get the character so much as he understands what her core thematic is
supposed to be, or something to that effect.
I like that she stepped up and is taking the reigns.

I was excited to see the lasso come back into the fold... and then we're back to the goddamn chainsaw.
I mean, yeah, she's gold and supercharged but who even cares anymore. It all feels hollow at this point because he's been shilling every big threat in DC to hype up this fight and it's been five issues of "and this guy lost, and this guy lost, and this guy really lost" just for a big fight with The Batman Who Sucks where Diana will find a way to hold everyone's hand and hope hard because that's always how Snyder ends his big stories. |

If this actually had to do with Diana's villains, her actual core thematics and imagery, I'd give it to Snyder. Instead it's an over-the-top edgy 90s rerun with Batman visuals that Diana gets shoehorned into, and she doesn't even get to win the day as Wonder Woman. She's flippin' chainsaw Xena who really likes Truth^tm because lassos are for losers I guess. (
