Wonder Woman - The Hiketeia

[cyberghostface]

 

1/3 of a graphic novel.





We learn a bit about the Hiketeia which is an ancient Greek ritual in one which is honor-bound to take care of another.





In Gotham City...





The young woman eludes Batman by jumping into the river.







The Furies (or Erinyes) wait outside and Wonder Woman confronts them, thinking that they're for Danielle.





Batman later appears to Diana, looking for Danny.





Diana kicks Bats out and tells him he's not welcome. Later, Danny begs her to make her tell her what happened and why she killed the men. It turns out her sister had arrived in New York to become famous and fell in with a group of very bad men.







Diana wakes up to find the girl gone and the Erinyes in her room. They tell her she fled to the bridge.



Wonder Woman arrives to stop him.







She says even if she had accepted his offer she wouldn't let him take Danny. He responds that she wouldn't be able to stop him either. During this time, Danny has fled to the edge of the bridge.

But that's a huge misrepresentation of his character. No way Batman thinks he can just shove past WW, and retrieve this girl. He spent the whole of the book looking like a Elmer Fudd reject.

Oh, I'm not defending that scene as I legitimately hate in this book.

It's like Rucka wanted to make it clear that Wonder Woman is stronger than Batman, but when was that actual even a question? Especially since that doesn't address Batman's strengths.
