    Super excited for this. I absolutely love Liam Sharp! I just hope they keep romance far, far away from this pairing.

    EDIT: Also hope they don't go the Superman/Wonder Woman route where WW played second-fiddle to Supes in terms of character arcs and overall mythos. It'll be interesting to see the power dynamics explored. Wonder Woman could easily take out any of Batman's foes, while Batman is far below the power levels of the majority of Diana's rogues gallery.

    I hope this is viewed as more of a Wonder Woman spinoff book then a Batman spinoff book.

    As long as they remember that Bruce is engaged to Selena, and Diana is with Steve, I will be along for the ride.

    Because this is exactly what was needed. When Bruce already has a million books, Diana has her solo, Justice League AND Trinity (A book she's in with Bruce already on top of Justice League) this isn't a redundant waste of space in the line at all.

    Hard pass.

    Excellent, as long as it doesnt turn out like Superman/Wonder Woman I think this could be great.

    As long as there's no romance, I'll consider giving it a look, although I have severe doubts that Diana will be made to look good in this book.

    Batman's DC's cash cow. Everything about him has to be awesome. That includes his villains. If Diana tears through the majority of his rogue's gallery with ease (which she should totally do in any story written with a shred of objectivity) then that makes Batman look bad. Can't have that. Expect to see Diana mysteriously have trouble taking on the Joker, the Riddler, or anyone else in the Batman rogue's gallery. Heck, I'd even expect Ra's al-Ghul to give her trouble. Because "immortality and lots of life experience" TOTALLY puts you in the same weight class as a demigoddess with powers that render all your experience and training null and void!

    And on the other side of the coin? Batman's been crapping all over Diana's rogues in multiple stories, under multiple writers, for years now. Dropping Circe with one spell he learned off camera? Dropping Cheetah? Seducing Cheetah into literally DYING for him?

    Yeah, if there are Wonder rogues in this book, expect them to look like garbage against the Batgod. If Diana goes up against Batman's villains? Get ready for a whole new level of "Brains totally beats Brawn, even if Brawn can move faster than Brain can think or react."
    Though much is taken, much abides; and though
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

    If they're able to write a compelling (and non-romantic) dynamic between the two of them, I'm game .

    But I also view this more as giving Wonder Woman another spotlight comic by putting her in a team-up book rather then just another Batman spinoff.

    So let's hope for good writing then .

    Movie dynamic grab. So over Batman in any facet so I'll pass. The amount of my caring on this is that the fact they're both with significant others means they can't do anything from a romantic standpoint with them. At least I sure as hell hope they're not that stupid.

    Well, this is unexpected. I wonder if Trinity is being cancelled? It would be nice if they used this book to showcase Batman being taken out by many of Diana's rogues but sadly, we'll probably see just the opposite. Either Batman will take down heavy-weights like Cheetah, Clea, Gudnra, and Giganta or Diana will be jobbed by the likes of the Penguin, the Ventriloquist, and Crazy Quilt.

    There is no way to write stories in which Diana is more than mildly inconvenienced by the Joker, the Riddler, or Scarecrow "well." Crap is crap. PIS/PIW is PIS/PIW.

    That'd be pretty genius, really. Wonder Woman is in right now, and Batman will always sell stuff. I don't know why people are being so negative about it... sure, the precedent isn't set very high, but this is a chance for us to get some really good Wonder Woman-related stories.
