Is Wonder Woman REALLY One Of DC’s Big Three Heroes?

That’s what I keep hearing. There’s a “trinity” of heroes in the DC Universe: Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. They’re the most important characters, the closest of friends (except when they’re not because modern DC), and all of DC’s heroes in-universe look up to those three especially.

And yet, when it comes to Wonder Woman, that’s up for debate by the way she’s treated by the people who actually run DC Entertainment. I’m seeing a lot of people notice it. For three examples (links will open a playing YouTube video in another tab/window depending on your settings), check out videos by M Enterprises, JesterBell, and Nightwingstan. The last two came out within days of each other. The amazing Amazon has fans across gender lines, and those fans would love to see more Wonder Woman material.

However, they aren’t getting it. Two live-action movies, one of which was terrible, a beloved live-action series, two animated movies, and a bunch of guest spots and team shows are all she has, while the comics have completely reversed what she stood for in the DC universe. So if Wonder Woman really is as big and important as we’re always told…why isn’t she utilized more?

Chapter By Chapter> Tom Clancy’s Op-Center: Mirror Image chapter 33

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter (or possibly multiple chapter for this one) of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

Last time we looked at two short chapters, one that comes off as filler and one that’s a character building moment for Striker members.

Hey, we might finally be halfway through the book by the time we’re done. However, I’ve run out of things to say so….here’s a preview of the audiobook of this novel, going after the prologue and first chapter.

Will we ever learn why these guys were killed? Probably not this chapter, but it’s time to get back to where we left off. Let’s see what our more competent Op-Center is up to now.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Monday, 4:30 PM, Washington, DC
