Tragically true. Though with dawn of justice they did go about releasing those trades compiling the various batman vs superman bouts

The editorial team at DC should have taken note of Cheetah's portrayal in the stories above and not let her get jobbed by Batman and Catwoman. There is no way a non-meta could take out the Cheetah after she's gone toe to to with Wonder Woman several times and also taken out Flash and Superman.

I wish Snyder had picked a different villain to play second fiddle to Lex Luthor, I had such high hopes for Cheetah
Compared to making Superman her thrall who obeys her bidding this is a fair bit of a downgrade.

To me it’s even more upsetting BECAUSE Cheetah is the closest thing to an arch-nemesis that Wonder Woman has,
Her vowing revenge on the greek Gods literally made my mouth water, I was so looking forward to that, so imagine my disappointment when Cheetah killed Poseidon in 2 panels with some whosie-whatsit that the Boss Man gave her in exchange for her service
Indeed. And Lex is ALWAYS calling the shots. He wouldn't bother with this group if he wasn't, he's really the only one who could have some measure of control over this particular group of individuals.
But that doesn't make any of them loyal underlings either. Cheetah and the rest are getting what they want out of this, and could turn on him/leave whenever. In a villainous way, they like and respect him and follow his lead.
My problem with it is that they seemed to have tossed out the actual nuanced/complex aspects that Rucka and co set up with her in favor of just making her "bad" again. The regression annoys me.
I'm actually glad she doesn't have the ability to turn others into were-cheetah's anymore. That ability just never sat well with me.
I also did not like the DCnU 52 origin for Barbara at all, especially the part about some random hunter managing to slay the previous Cheetah. I'm glad that part is gone.

We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
