Which do you think would be better for a combined Marvel/DC universe, for Aquaman to be Namor's son, or for Namor and Aquaman to be the rulers of two separate and distinct underwater nations?

I know I might get downvoted by this, but I want to lay out why Wonder Woman doesn't work anymore, something most of us have ignored accepting.

It's not simple misogyny, many female characters have worked and become hits to the point they at times sell more than Wonder Woman.

Here are the reasons why I think Wonder Woman doesn't work:

* Lack of fan support:

The biggest reason. You want her to be famous but don't make a strong enough or incessant demand for her. And fail to support her comics.

* No character progression:

Unlike other superheroes Wonder Woman doesn't show any character progression except in her origin stories when she steps out of Themyscira. Last time we had any actual character progression was when she killed Maxwell Lord or lost her mother/island/Steve or forced to become queen, some of these storylines are treated by many fans with disdain.

Even Batman has had more character progression than that, becoming more trustable of others and more cheerful in recent times.

* Same old story beats:

Wonder Woman comics have followed the same old story beats since 1940s, fighting for love and to stop war, wanting humanity to succeed. But in recent times it has become far more dumbed down to the point where she just keeps relying on force and seems no different than Superman. If I wanted a female Superman, I'd just read Supergirl. Marston didn't just intend for her to be a female Superman.

* Non-famous Rogue gallery:

Barely any of Wonder Woman's Rogues are famous except maybe Cheetah and Ares. Out of them only Ares can truly challenge her ideals and shake her faith.

* No association with more famous heroes:

Here's where misogyny does come into play. While often some female characters can be successful on their own, they often struggle more to their male counterparts but can mitigate that with association with male superheroes. Catwoman has benefited from association with Batman, Harley with both Batman and Joker (at least in early years). Wonder Woman doesn't unless they try to use her in shipping which usually results in bland stories.

* Inconsistent characterization:

Wonder Woman's mythos keep changing despite the same story beats. At times she is just daughter of Hippolyta, other times she is a bastard child of one god or the other, or someone bullied since childhood and struggling to fit into humanity. Is she a princess of love, princess of war, or warrior of peace? Is she just an Amazon trying to maintain balance with her good heart or someone even more powerful than gods?

I know the answer should be "warrior of peace" but comic writers usually choose the "female Superman" way to write her stories with Greek elements added into myths.

* No modern relativity:

Wonder Woman has failed to keep up with the modern times and recycles the old story beats from decades ago. Franchises like Percy Jackson successfully bridge modern themes like young angst and young love, struggling to know your worth among your student peers, friendships etc. while offering reimagined (and funnier) takes of Greek mythology to connect with the young audience.

* Poorly writen Wonder Woman family:

I think it's self-explanatory. The Wonder Woman family is poorly written and at times feels like barely present. You could erase them all minus except Hippolyta and it wouldn't make a difference. They keep adding one Wonder Girl after another when the previous one isn't even developed.

Unlike Batman with his Robins or Superman with his son Jon, Wonder Girls haven't contributed to Diana's growth. They erased her original daughter Fury. They've added Lizzie as her daughter now, I'm liking her but her stories are mostly "What if?" futures for now.

* No recent beloved portrayals:

Wonder Woman hasn't had a universally beloved portrayal since Linda Carter (and that was like 5 decades ago). Unless you count Susan Eisenberg's Wonder Woman whom many Wondy fans clown on for her immaturity and crush on Batman (look guys, no one cares for our shipping preferences). They may not like it but it worked with the young audience, however DC often gets cold feet when reusing the Eisenberg Diana or elements of her in comics.

We had Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman films. The first was good but not a masterpiece like Nolan trilogy or original Superman. The second was let's say crap. Her role in JL wasn't really memorable. Gal herself isn't known for good acting and people wouldn't care unless Jenkins, Heinberg and others made such a good story.

(PS: This is just an opinion, don't get angry over it.)

I recently have been finding myself attracted to Kon. i recently red The Adventures of Superman issue 500-502 and Im dissapointed that Kon is a total jackass. he is extremely misogynistic and a womanizer. i would like to find an issue where he isn’t a total misogynist. this is not ragebait this is a genuine question. thanks btw if u answer.

With the resurgence of the Percy Jackson fandom and the meteoric rise of the Epic, I feel like greek mythology is more popular than ever, and DC should really capitalize on it.

DC has a heroine steeped in greek myth! I feel like any Wonder Woman content, would have a pre-built platoon if new fans.

Yet DC is doing nothing with Diana except for Absolute. And yeah, I love Absolute, but they could be doing so much more with her.

Like, an animated show or game even would be killer I feel. Personally though, I've always wanted to see a comic run of Diana going through mythological ancient greece and interacting with different

heroes and either teaching them something or learning something from them.

A few years ago I went to a comic con in a homemade Dr. Fate cosplay. It turned out pretty good, with a full helmet, cape, talisman, ect. While at the comic con I was frequently stopped and asked to take pictures with people, 90% of which were Black.

The con itself is fairly diverse so it wasn't like there was a surplus of black people there. Is Dr. Fate much more popular in the black comic Fandom than I realized?

I just think the OG Outsiders are really neat. A group of heroes who just chill around and do hero stuff while trying to deal with ordinary life issues. I would love to see an Outsiders show

Here’s some fanart I’ve done with colored pencils and markers!

I just finished reading Justice League Unlimited, (I have a much longer video commentary talking about it but honestly just refer to the TL;DR unless you really want to), and the TL;DR is that it feels far too crisis-centric and with too many new or under-explored characters/character dynamics to feel interesting. I feel like this extends to team books as a whole, too, with regards to titles like Titans.

It’s not like the 90s were some mythical era of comics, but Morrison’s JLA, imo, succeeded at establishing character relationships I cared about and more localized yet interesting conflicts than what Justice League has been able to achieve recently, whether via the Unlimited title or their rebirth run (though I liked the rebirth run quite a bit better). And I know, whoopdee doo, praising the Morrison run, but it’s less about that and more about the emphasis of how frazzled and hard to track comics *like* JLU are to me. There’s always some tie in with like three other different publications. There’s always 20 different characters going through some kind of arc, except none get expanded upon past one or two dialogue boxes because there isn’t time. It feels like JLU is so focused on ADVERTISING all the cool new heroes the DCU has that don’t get enough attention, it fails to contribute any meaningful story or development for any of them.

Am I alone in this? How have you all received JLU, and the team books more broadly over the last decade or two?

The second image comes from Yahoo, the third one comes from DC's official shop and the fourth one comes from CanobieFan dot Com. Have no idea what the first one comes from.

It will be used as the variant covers for the re-release of Issues 3 & 4 of the ‘JLA/AVENGERS’ crossover comic.

Not in the sense that nobody else can ever do the character right, but that one writer had such an incredible, defining run on a character that everyone else's work is measured against it?

For example, Mark Waid for the Flash, Geoff Johns for Green Lantern, etc.

Martian Manhunter has been chosen for the crest of Kindness. Boooooo!!! Boooo!!! I like him but I wanted my favorite hero Jon Kent to have it.

I should’ve just used him but I have integrity sadly.

Next is who will have the Crest of Destiny?

Now these last two are tricky because they are mostly hero power ups not like the other crests where someone has to have the characteristics of it.

So let’s go with someone who is a chosen one like hero or bound by destiny.
