We all know how the spoken word is important in WW comics, what are your favorite speeches spoken in WW history? I'm prioritizing speeches Diana herself gave, but I suppose it can also include some of the other characters in her world. It doesn't have to be from a WW book necessarily, and you could even include other media.

This is one springs to mind. It’s so surprisingly spot on yet everything else was so horribly wrong…

Oh sure. It probably won't surprise you that the my first picks come from the William Messner-Loebs run since that's my favourite portrayal of Diana Originally Posted by BiteTheBullet

It's a surprisingly really good quote from an otherwise poor take on Diana. Originally Posted by Restingvoice

Jimenez and Rucka are probably my favorite "speech writers". The one from #170 shown above, as well as the eulogy for Hippolyta (I can't remember if it was #173 or the Our Worlds at War one-shot) are among Jimenez' best. For Rucka, just about every exchange with Ferdinand was golden. He really captured her voice right away in that first run.
Messner-Loebs also "got" Diana, and wrote some very touching speeches. You'll never change my mind that his run would rank much higher amongst fans if he hadn't been saddled with some truly bad art in certain places.
