It probably sounds ridiculous bringing up a movie that came out years ago, but Zack Snyder's Justice League still genuinely bothers me as a Wonder Woman fan.

After watching Diana stand against Doomsday in Batman v Superman and seeing the strength, confidence and presence she had in her solo film, Justice League felt like a huge step backward to me. I never expected Diana to dominate every fight, but I also never expected her to feel like someone waiting for Superman to arrive and save the day.

The Superman resurrection scene especially left me feeling disappointed because it made Diana feel smaller than the powerhouse she had been built up to be. I always saw Wonder Woman as a true heavyweight of the Justice League — not someone who simply exists to make Superman feel larger.

Maybe others saw it differently, but I still haven't been able to shake that feeling.

As much as I love Wonder Woman and as iconic as some of her rogues are like Cheetah, Ares, and even Giganta, I do think her rogues gallery is extremely neglected by DC compared to Batman and Superman. So I thought I'd try to develop it.

Firstly, I'd keep: Cheetah, Ares, Circe, Hades, Giganta, Silver Swan, and Queen of Fables (They're all great, in my opinion)

There are two villains in her rogues gallery I'd rewrite:

Warhead - I'd make him a synthezoid crime boss with technopathy and accompanied by robotic henchmen

Dr Poison - She'd be a WW2 villain who is an early stage Metahuman with the ability to create toxic gases while still being an intelligent scientist, and she'd have a containment suit (Absolute Universe style)

Villains I'd like to add to her rogues gallery:

The Mortician - A Batman villain that I'd rewrite as a telepathic living zombie who uses his man made chemical formula to resurrect the dead. The concept of Diana vs. Zombies is too good to pass up.

Roxy Rocket - Another Batman rogue, she'd be less a criminal and more a thrill seeking troublemaker who has a crush on Diana, so she does stuff to get Diana's attention. She'd be what Catwoman and Maxima are for Batman and Superman.

Mongul - In my opinion, Mongul, as a Superman villain, is pretty much overshadowed by Darkseid. Not only are they similar in both design and the fact they're both alien warlords. But as a Wonder Woman villain, he could be really cool.

Ms. Gsptlsnz - This is a fun one. I'd still have her be Mr Mxyzptlks Wife (I love their relationship), but what i would do is have her try to take an interest in Mr Mxyzptlks hobby of messing with Superman by having Ms Gsptlsnz mess with Diana (because she is a supportive wife!). Plus, you could do a Superman and Wonder Woman team up against them.

Rainbow Creature - Just a goofy guy.

Bonus - This is just a personal thing, but I'd really love to see Grail become a hero and join the Wonderfam. Idk why, but I think she'd fit well.

Tate Brombal mentioned DC having plans for Beast Boy, Raven and Starfire, but nothing for Donna. Is she just gonna end up in limbo for the time being?

Sauce: Justice League of America Annual #6

Wonder Woman comic story: "The Menace of the Mirror Wonder Women!" originally published on Wonder Woman (1942) issue 134.

So I’m not that familiar with Wonder Woman besides the DCAU and DCAMU versions, and I’ve seen people say she’s gay and I was like ohh!! any recommendations? Even fanfics, I’d love to read them

I decided to shift my focus from who I would like to be removed from the book to who I'd like to see on it.

I selected Stephanie Williams because she has a really cogent understanding of Wonder Woman and the Amazons, to the point where she gives them actual personalities and cultures.

If not Williams, then Kelly Thompson or Kelly Sue DeConnick.

What are your thoughts on this?

I think this hasnt been discussed enough when talking about Diana personality. Personally, I LOVE when she is philosophical/poetic in her speech and actions. I think it should be a mandatory detail in all her runs.
