The writers dont use them because they are afraid, they're afraid younger fans will easily tilt towards them, they're afraid because the target audience for all of them is the same.
Yet Batman and Superman need prominent females in their brand for some reason.
They are preachy in the sense that they dont have any genre or tone, all they largely have are a bunch of preachy themes in a vaccum just floating around.
So? That's on the writers not the fans. Hell, WW fans have been asking for Cassie and Donna to be used consistently
This such a false equivalency it's almost funny. The Super and Bat franchises need prominent females because of the sausage fest most superhero franchises are. WW is one of the few superhero books were women have more importance than men. If you want prominent male characters in comics you are not lacking.
I could say the same of any given superhero book including Superman and Batman
Super
He was doing no such thing. He killed Ares off himself and did so with total freedom from editors. Rucka's take on Ares from his original run is closer to Johns Sinestro or Adam. Hell, Messner-Loebs Circe and Cheetah are closer. Azz Ares had more in common with Obi Wan.
I specifically mentioned writers as well as fans in my post.
It's not false equivalency, this is why people are sick of double standards disguising themselves as political correctness. All franchises need to expand, grow become and more inclusive, Batman is a mans fantasy, there is no need for an important female in that world by your own logic but as it is Catwoman and Harley are big, latter beats out Wonder Woman in terms of sales. Batgirl and Batwoman are also big. Almost all the women made it to films before Wonder Woman. The results speak for themselves, if you're gonna pigeon hole yourself then you're going to be the ultimate loser. In the end the whole U.N controversy that Wonder Woman is also as much as a cheese cake franchise as the rest.
Batman and Superman have a tone and genre they can fall back on in the end, Wonder Woman has none, even Flash and GLs have them. Wonder Woman should logically be about mythology but once again writers and fans sense danger at the thought of mythological characters potentially usurping her. Even in this thread there are such examples, someone here is even afraid of Hippolyta LOL.
Fans are not afraid of Donna and Cassie overshadowing Diana. The Jimenez run featured those two and is considered a fan favorite. By contrast, I've seen numerous posts on this and other sites calling for a culling of the the Bat and Super families. Wonder fans would love if the franchise was expanded and the many female characters she had were consistently used. Oh, you mentioned one fan here who felt Hippolyta got used too much? Would you like me to post at least three threads on this site complaining about the Bat family? Or the number of posts complaining about Jon? Give me a break.
Those characters made it to film's because they are extensions of franchises revolving around male characters.
I said writers too man. You yourself said Wonder writers dont use them, question is why?
The Bat family is bloated and the fans who argue for the culling are fans of one Robin hoping the other would disappear, stuff like that. The franchise has expanded to that point, this cannot be denied. If the Bat guys were insecure we'd have never made it this far in the first place. Same goes for Superman.
So? and then males from WW films will also make it for the sane reason.
As for Ares, he went through the same phase Adam and Sinestro did, that's why I believe.
Why? Because they don't care for them or because they feel their stories don't need them? It sure as hell has nothing to do with fans not liking them. Hell, one of the many complaints about the New 52 was that Donna wasn't around and Diana and Cassie didn't interact. That writers don't use them because fans hate them is laughable.
Bat fans have made it this far in spite of insecurity. We're talking about the fandom that voted for a legacy character to be killed off and don't even get me started over the complaints Cass and the Steph faced even before Rebirth. The bloated argument doesn't wash given they have access to a book with a solo Batman. If you don't like the Batfamily you can avoid them.
No one ever complained about lack of prominent males in a WW comic.
You do know Sinestro and Adam were still villains right?
Except in current continuity, Cheetah was never a woman in a costume. Croc is also not powered by a god, nor does he have any phds, or access to dangerous relics. Equating these two characters because they're both based off animals will always be an incredibly shallow reading. The same shallow reading that severaly suppossedly good writers make of her which leads to a self fullfilling prophecy of underwhelming stories.
