Hey, That’s My Cape!: Ever wonder about Wonder Woman?
Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman-the Trinity of DC Comics. Or at least that’s what everyone says. In reality, it’s more like The Couple, and not the boy-on-girl kind. Superman and Batman have always been more popular than their female counterpart. Why is that exactly?
Take a minute and think about Wonder Woman. What comes to mind? Most likely a strong, beautiful woman with a colorful costume. Comic book fans know her as the daughter of Amazons, born from clay of Themyscira itself and sent into the world of men. She prays to Greek gods and goddesses (and sometimes fights them) and is a member of the Justice League of America. But tons, and I mean TONS, of non-comic readers love Wonder Woman because of what she’s come to represent.

Cool! I can't wait till JMS starts writing Wonder Woman. I think she belongs up there with Superman and Batman, but has been pushed aside.
