Your Ideal “Ending Story” For Wonder Woman

[Vordan]

Batman has The Dark Knight Returns. Superman has All-Star Superman. Given the disappointing news that Rucka won’t be doing Diana’s Daughter after all because he couldn’t get the story to work, I though I’d ask the forum what you guys would like to see from a hypothetical “finale” story for Diana.

What would be the “inciting incident” that kicks off the endgame for Wonder Woman? For Batman in Dark Knight Returns, it’s two factors: 1. Is that unlike the mainline, Batman actually gets old here & 2. It’s Bruce seeing that Gotham has become worse in Batman’s absence. For Superman in All-Star Superman, it’s the poisoning of his cells that will end up killing him, forcing him to tie up his loose ends and ensure the world is ready for life without him.

What would be the main relationships for Diana that you would focus on? For Batman, it’s the enmity between his arch foe the Joker and his rivalry with Superman that are the focus. For Superman it’s his enmity with arch foe Lex and his love triangle with Lois that are ultimately resolved. What would be the main WW Rogue you would want as the focus of such a story? Who works best for Diana’s endgame fight?

What format do you think works best? Dark Knight Returns was an four issue story while All-Star was a 12 issue one.

What artist would you like to see draw it? Miller’s Batman and Quietly’s Superman are both iconic images for their respective characters.

Would it be set in one location like DKR or spread throughout the DCU like AS?

What aspect of the Wondermythos should any finale for Diana absolutely need? Her Golden Lasso? Invisible Plane? Wonderdome? Pet Kanga Jumpy ?

And of course, what does Diana’s ending look like? Batman cements his legend and overcomes both the corrupting forces of Chaos (Joker) and Order (Superman), going on to train the next generation. Superman ascends to godhood and becomes the literal guiding light for mankind by acting as Sol’s new heart.
