It's shit like this that makes me hate shared universes. Because this really is putting the cart before the horse, and the same damn thing happens with Justice League--another affiliation that has never been good for Wonder Woman, BTW.
And it all comes back to DC's unhealthy fixation on hierarchy and legacy. Face it guys, most of these characters were never meant to exist together. I don't give a shit who came first, or who's a founding member of whichever team, or who is who's kid, and I definitely don't understand the obsession with anchoring certain characters to goddamn World War II. It just makes the universe feel small, confined, and inbred.
And...to top it off...of all writers to dictate Diana's history, GEOFF JOHNS? One of the worst Wonder Woman writers in the character's history? As if the man hasn't done enough damage to her?
He has no business dictating anything related to Wonder Woman, and yet here we are, pulling the rug out from under her (again) in order to wank his god-awful nostalgia fetish.
Alan Moore was right. Johns really is a raccoon rummaging through the garbage of his betters.
