Disregard thread. There is no intelligent discussion to be found here.

If Superman is the paternal figure of the Justice League, then Wonder Woman is the maternal figure.

How is that not literally every female superhero? They're all essentially distaff counterparts, with no real original character of their own.

I think she's SUPPOSED to be the mythological side of the DCU, the way Thor is THE mythological-themed hero of Marvel. She's supposed to fight stuff from Greek myths and protect us from that stuff invading Earth.

The thing is, she started out as basically Feminism: the superhero. I'm gonna be actually contrarian and say that her representing equality, or standing up for some sort of minority, or fighting villains themed on some sort of prejudice or conflict (Dr. Cyber flipping out on beauty, Dr. Psycho the woman-hater, etc.) isn't honestly bad at all, it FEELS like it ought be flexible in fact for lots of stories and villain themes, but it can and will clash with the Greek stuff above in terms of focus. You focus on the Greek, you lose out on her original theme, you focus on some sort of equality superhero, you lose out on a major source of the mythological in the DCU as well as her becoming "female Superman".

BTW, I should think she ought be much more regal, calm, and serene in contrast to the easygoing and outwardly friendly Superman in terms of personality contrast. In terms of the Trinity, Superman ought be the easiest one for a normal person to just plain speak to on an even basis, and the same within the main Justice League except MAYBE Flash (who might lose out only because "friendly yet socially awkward nerd" seems to be what DC's aiming as Barry's personality).

The problem is that when comic writers think about "regal" in the context of her they go fully detached from humanity and miss the point. Perhaps because Aquaman already bridges that gap between two worlds so they want to make her more unique in a group setting, but it's just retarded.

Temperance, balance, and since J'onn isn't on the team anymore an outsiders perspective (no that they've ever thought to use that).

I always liked that J'onn was so serene and stoic and never wallowing in angst despite having way more emotional baggage than any of the others. They shouldn't have kicked him off the team.

Wonder Woman tends to fall slightly flat as a character because the writers are too busy trying to make her represent something to give her a consistent personality across multiple incarnations of the character. Every version of her is so different from the others that she is more of an archetype than a character in her own right the way Superman and Batman are.
