And Ra's' plan to deal with an island full of Wonder Women will no doubt be ingenious or face-palming.

[nate_abril96]

All the Amazons have been turned to stone in the New 52. So for the time being Wonder Woman is the only Amazon until they eventually return.

[his_spiffynesss]

Guess you haven't read the latest issue of Wonder Woman?

[nate_abril96]

I trade wait Wonder Woman. Damn DC and their slow trade process.

[q99]

Done anything about them being evil yet?

[lonewolf23k]

They were recently restored by a re-powered Hera in the latest issue of Wonder Woman. ...Dunno when this takes place, continuity-wise.

[darkknightjrk]

No shit? Damn, for some reason WW slipped down on my to-read list this week. Pretty cool. :)

Yeah, trying to place the Wonder Woman book in continuity with stuff like Superman/Wonder Woman and the Justice League/Trinity War/Forever Evil stuff is likely pretty maddening.

[zapbiffpow]

Yeah, it's a casual fan rule to not over-think the continuity of the New 52. I don't mind, but you know, that way lies madness.

It's like they wove a modified Anti-Life Equation into their publishing history.

[darkknightjrk]

To be fair, that's pretty much the fan rule for all big superhero shared universes, then and now.

[yvonmukluk]

Weaving in the anti-life equation?

[darkknightjrk]

The continuity not making 100% sense. I'm just not that very negative about comics in general. They're my way of GETTING AWAY from negativing that just pervails my life, if that makes sense.

[zapbiffpow]

...Admirable!

See, this guy gets it.

[his_spiffynesss]

I accept the Wonder Woman book as being largely removed from continuity, kind of in a quasi-Vertigo realm like DC had before they created the imprint. The charatcers can have all these wierd adventures off in their own books, but can show up for all the big crossover events when necessessary.

[freezer]

Was not aware of that. Things seem far less stupid now.

[jlbarnett]

I've been mostly done with DC, but if the New Gods stuff disappears from it I might check it out

[silicondream]

Of course Bruce isn't going to critique your accessorizing, Diana. That outfit is cute.

[his_spiffynesss]

It's rather reminiscent of some of her 60's post-Amazon wardrobe.

[darkknightjrk]

I'm pretty sure she wore that outfit in the Wonder Woman title, in the issue where she meets her step-brother for the first time, and she has a talk with Poseidon.

[his_spiffynesss]

I just checked, she had on knee length black wrap dress with slashed sleeves accesorized with a wine colored sash belt and matching neck scarf.

[darkknightjrk]

...Okay. I just remembered it was write with some black straps. As you can probably guess, I'm pretty much fashion illiterate.

[his_spiffynesss]

Well, in issue 4 she was wearing a biker chick ensemble, leather pants and vest over a white tank top. That might have been what you were thinking about.

[darkknightjrk]

No, I was thinking of #5, but looking at it again, it's actually black, not white.

[big_daddy_d]

I actually like it on her myself.

[shadur]

I agree, but if the objective is anonymity, perhaps the star earrings were not the wisest choice?

[darkknightjrk]

I loved how quickly they set this up. I mean, granted, they hinted at this a few times during the Two-Face arc, but the first few pages was basically Batman going off to find Ra's and get the bodies of Damian and Talia back, with Aquaman coming in for an assist.

Plus, with what Tomasi has said about this being a lead-up to a big Batman event in June...I think there's a possibility that we'll see both Damian and Talia risen back from the dead by the end of the year.

[zapbiffpow]

Ra's Al Ghul's trap was horrifying. A squad of insane, Damian-faced Heretics...never has he asked for an ass-kicking more than what he did this month. So far.

I'm trying to think of inappropriate-er Bat-family-related presents he could've done.
- A step-in replica of the Murder Machine?
- The title deed to Magdala Valley?
- A picture of Blackbat, with the words "Guess Who?" scribbled on it?

[bradygirl_12]

Hmm, I shudder to think what Ra's did to the whales Aquaman referenced!

Heh, if Diana still had her invisible plane in this Elseworld she could give Bruce a ride on that.

"Clark's bright idea." Never willing to give the Big Guy credit, are you, Bruce? ;)

[althechi]

Your icon is so tasteless with regards to the contents of the issue that it winds round to being hilarious.

[superfangirl1]

I don't know if that is a good thing or bad?

[althechi]

Don't worry, it's a good thing.
