I've been reading and playing Injustice lately, and it occurs to me in a lot of timelines Diana seems to be a key part in supporting/pushing Clark into his darker tendencies. How do you feel about this? It seems very off from the way "our" Diana normally a

As much as I love Injustice and some of the other DC video games, female characters really do get the shaft in some of them.


I’m not saying some of the guys don’t, also, but it’s always a little irritating if the character you love most is Wonder Woman, and her storyline is basically reduced to really kind of pathetic stuff. Luckily, her fighting is great in that game. I am sure someone whose favorite is Aquaman is probably lodging the same complaint, I guess. But it always feels weird to reduce Wonder Woman to someone’s girlfriend. That’s a lot of wasted dramatic potential.


I have not caught up on the comic, but I can’t imagine Tom Taylor writing her that way, is she different in that book? I know he writes a really strong Black Canary.



INJUSTICE is still a favorite game, I really love it, and they told a gripping story. They got so much right, I just felt they could have taken that one step further with the female characters. 



Still a great game.
