    Uh what? I’m guessing this is based on Supes losing the fight in WW Dead Earth? Nah I don’t consider that an insult, Diana comes off worse than he does, she’s the one who destroys the planet by pummeling him from place to place. That last bit at the end is super messed up though.

    It may be too stupid for anyone to take seriously. Not her defeating him in a fight, but killing him and then using his skull as a flail or whatever.

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, he's endured worse. This doesn't paint a flattering picture of the WW mythos itself.

    The skull flail came off as more as an insult than him losing.

    Though I'd say the Amazons have probably gotten it the worst in the series in terms of general depictions.

    The only thing I've read of Dead Earth was the scene where she used turned his skull into flail which I thought looked kind of cool.

    Meh I can find instances where the Superman writers did Wonder Woman dirty, like him snapping her neck with the lasso of truth in that World Finest story line. It goes both ways. Part of Diana's makeup as a character is that she is his physical equal.

    I'm really only bothered by obvious cases of jobbing like the Batman nonsense.

    If anything I think it's intriguing that all these years after Superman got the most signifcant power level cut of any cape character with the Byrne reboot yet still maintained in position of being the measuring stick. Really puts into perspective what a beast he was during the Pre-Crisis Years.

    Honestly, the only character being disrespected in this comic is Wonder Woman.

    How can you call someone a physical equal when one is is weak to piercing weapons?

    I suppose the pawer down scaled most bricks down accordingly or at least just brought supes down to only being top of that teir

    He wasn't what he was, but before that he was well beyond everyone really

    And he's powered back up somewhat since

    In terms of raw brute power he's still the industry measure I feel
