It's amusing that this sort of works the opposite of how you'd think at first. Bruce, the moody loner, surrounds himself with found family. Diana, the 'ambassador of peace' generally doesn't keep up with what Donna or Cassie or Nubia, etc. are up to.
And yet, Diana grew up surrounded by a giant loving family, the only child on an island with *hundreds* of 'moms.' While Bruce had his parents ripped away too soon. Of course he's always trying to recreate the family he lost, while Diana might find *not* being smothered by a crushing mob of immortal aunties to be refreshing and not realize right off that she's being a bit distant to her legacies.
Yeah makes the whole Brother Eternity plot into kind of an anti-climax.
All that build-up and mystery in the first several issues, and he just winds up an afterthought in the middle of an event.
Oh yeah that is an interesting observation.
Diana was lucky to have actually enjoyed growing out of her childhood, Bruce meanwhile never had that unfortunately. Which makes their current adventures a reversal of each other, Diana is enjoying independence after growing up in a very secure guided home while Bruce is rebuilding the very family he lost as a kid.

Yeah. At this point, the Justice League old guard would've grown up playing NES, if they played video games at all. The Titans though, would've grown up on PlayStation 2.
