Wondie is supposedly part of the Trinity, but in execution, this often turns into Wondie being Clark & Bruce's pet female, who they help out. Somehow she's in their club, but is as junior to them as the Ray or somebody--instead of being an independent powerhouse in her own right.
And this is in Heinberg's run on her book.
(I also posted this as a response, to which I link because of the response ahead of me, reproduced here:)
But I think all that really needs to happen is for one writer for whom Wonder Woman works as a muse. Wonder Woman hasn't a had a Frank Miller like Batman, or an Alex Ross like Superman. Actually, I think the most compelling WW in the last twenty years has been the one in Kingdom Come.
If I could make myself write, I would be that writer. I was just thinking today, I want to do for WW what Frank Miller did for Daredevil, even though that's arguably impossible with all the history & baggage she has.
I should just make up my own character, right? With her own long-lost twin sister & spunky kid sidekick, & I'd never be stuck with the purple ray or mandated Superman crossover....
