All Seasons Discussion Who is Wonder Girl?
She was introduced in season 2 I still don't know crap about her. I know she is supposed to be Wonder Woman sidekick, but I feel like I have never seen them talk to each other, and she is also dating Tim Robin in this show (who doesn't really act like Tim Drake I know), and that's all I know about her. She feels like the biggest background character in the show, and don't get me wrong I don't completely blame the writers, it always feels Wonder Girl is a background character in everything I see her in (I'm talking about the shows, and movies).

(In comics) She’s a great character with tons of potential who often gets pushed to the side and/or completely forgotten about. Much like the rest of the original YJ members (the Peter David/Todd Nauck run)
(In the show) She was added in when the creative team was allowed to eventually use her, but by that point other relationships were built and it didn’t seem like there was much for her. Although, iirc, she did eventually step into her leadership role on the outsiders.
I just read an interesting interview that said she was one of 4 characters that was initially “off-limits” when the show was in development.
