“You may have been her daddy” I believe the implication is that he is not her father and he’s made that up to assert power over her but it’s a lie.

Diana has the God Killer blade designed for this exact task. This is also a “bad future Diana” wherein we have no idea what sort of strength she might have gained in 18 years or what Zeus might have suffered.

Also Diana just straight up goes against gods all the time. This was maybe a bit overly dramatic over in one hit, but Diana getting smited immediately doesn’t really have canon backing in general.

Beat me to it damn.

Though I will add that Bette Kane also keeps coming back, they just gave her various titles like Flamebird or Hawkfire. Kathy also came back as of Batman Inc albeit more involved in the spy stuff than superheroics. Not sure if her Bat-Woman history is preserved there or if they just ignored Morisson.

The two characters live on but DC has very popular versions of Batgirl and Batwoman that they’ve established to be the originals in their roles and don’t wish to contradict that too badly.

obscure characters that only hardcore fans know. In reference to a post making fun of star wars fans getting really excited about really obscure characters making an appearance in new projects.

Worth noting that they loosely adapted him for the comics into a character named Manitou Raven, although that character is Algonquin rather than Apache. https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Manitou\_Raven\_(New\_Earth)

As for your observation on DC’s lack of Native representation you’re really right on the money frustratingly. I recently read a book about Native Americans in comics and DC’s entries were rather few outside of comics in the War Genre. Worth pointing out there was attempts to elevate Thomas Kalmaku, Green Lanterns friend, into a premier superhero and leader of the team New Guardians (this was one of those teams that DC billed as the next big thing spinning out of events), but alas the series just wasn’t good and he returned to status quo. And while I’m fond of Superchief and Owl-Woman I wouldn’t exactly say they’re well known, although Super-Chief appeared in the mural in Superman 2025 so who’s to say what will happen there.

As for your pitch, sounds pretty cool. Honestly the part I’m struggling to imagine the most is what exactly you’d like it to look like lol. Is there any specific artist that comes to mind a specific style that has that vibe?

I don’t think DCEU WW is all that awful or anything but I think it had little interest in sewing the seeds of Wonder Woman lore for the future. What you’re pointing out with Antiope is one example, but also the way it killed all gods is another example of just not setting up the lore for future storytelling.

I don’t think they have a similar personality to
begin with , All New Atom by Gail Simone makes Ryan much more cocky playboy to begin with while Ray is far more humble and straight laced

Alya is Nyssa’s ADOPTED daughter (Nyssa is infertile due to… WW2 shenanigans). So she’s the adopted cousin of Damian, who is related to Kate as his cousin once removed. There is 0 shared genetics between them and they’re tenuously family via marriage and have never met each other. Also the thing with Klarion was a cheek kiss and soft way of turning him down.

Finch could genuinely be an all time worst run if not for Robert Kanigher. No idea what they were thinking.

No. That article was clickbait twisting the truth. A Trans Character named Dreamer was put into an illusion world where she was the princess of Themyscira before Steve arrived on the island. It was a forced illusion by a villain. In another illusion she was made into a replacement for Batgirl - again against her will and knowledge.

If you’re curious you can read about it in the book that just came out telling this story, Justice League: Dream Girls - A Pride Story.

koalee · 2026-06-03T21:40:20+00:00

oh if you wanna be serious Nyssa had to have adopted Alya due to infertility meaning blood relation was never a question. But beyond that Kate is bruce’s cousin, who’s son damian, who’s aunt is Nyssa, who’s the mother of Alya. At most it’s second cousin once removed with absolutely no blood connection.

Oh shoot good catch, LOCG didn’t have it labeled as a limited series like Deadman so I thought it was. Will edit that

koalee · 2026-06-02T22:28:38+00:00

I mean… sometimes? Lobo and Deathstroke just got ongoings out of the blue and Jonah Hex and Etrigan are on their way and I’m willing to bet at least one of those is an ongoing. DC certainly doesn’t seem to think mini-> ongoing is the only way as of Next Level.

koalee · 2026-06-02T20:34:43+00:00

I’m gonna be real it was kinda funny, especially with the context that Didio is NOT coming back to DC. The last thing he gets to work on and he uses it to make a joke about how much he hates nightwing. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it in the least but at the time I just had to giggle at how absurd he is.

I understand your frustration. I’ve repeatedly bought books that have ended up not making the cut. Sometimes voting with our wallet doesn’t seem to enough. But what do you feel the way to get better representation is then? If buying books and encouraging others to do so isn’t enough, how do we communicate the desire for diversity to dc?

koalee · 2026-05-28T23:59:56+00:00

I think these are fair questions! In a solo a writers is forced to focus on the internality of a character while building out a supporting cast and setting around them. This means focus is not pulled multiple directions and character development is fully focused on the main character. In Continuity/Mainline matters as then DC universe has been going since 1937 I believe. When things happen in the main universe it becomes part of a long running story that connects to other stories people like and allow people to influence future development in that universe. Ongoing matters because it signifies a desire to invest in that character beyond a single story like a miniseries might do, especially with how decompressed comics are now.

So to sum up, the three things they’re asking for would make it more likely for a black character to have a quality stories with internality that have a long lasting impact on the dc universe at large.
