B) the war she got involved with was considered to be the most pointless conflict in all of human history.
Eh, I'd considered the War of Jenkins' Ear to be more pointless.

It isn't as famous. Maybe the Justice League will find a time machine and use it to make their world less dark? Nah... too silly.

Funny enough even Injustice had Flash be the first/only Justice Lord Regime Leaguer to actually switch sides.

Why is Superman part of the Big Three? Barry's the real Big Good in DC. Superman turns into an evil jackass more often than not.

He's been around the longest. And is more popular then the Flash. It's more fun to make an evil version of Clark then and evil version of Barry?

In the meta-sense Flash has mostly remained popular in the comic book circles and not in general media. Remember, Aquaman's status as Memetic Loser came mostly because he was put next to Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman in Superfriends, meaning his comics and popularity in general pop culture was greater than the Flash at the time. It's only been since the early 90's that Flash and his mythos has started to become more familiar with audiences.

In Universe, Flash is not considered one of those heroes every other hero rallies behind. If he shows up on the scene other heroes don't go "It's the Flash, let him take charge." While Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman do get that kind of response.

If Batman and Wonder Woman had a spar, who would win? And why do weaker characters often defeat more powerful characters in superhero stories? Punching out entities more powerful than you seems to be a big thing. Which is why Batman can beat Superman and Superman can beat something that is way more powerful than him(Darksied?).

Wonder Woman. Every time they've come to blows in the comic, Wonder Woman has beat him definitively. She's a Superman-level hero without the Kryptonite weakness. So this is what usually happens.

I thought Diana would win. Is Bruce going to become her 21st century Steve Trevor? Because she already saved his cape once.

Well, modern works tend to have Steve be more of a badass in his own right and not so much Diana's sidekick because writers have kinda gotten over the whole "look a man is in trouble and its a woman whose saving him! Incredible!" thing.

Kinda of how like modern incarnations of Dr. Watson is way more badass than he ever was in the novels or the Rathbone films.

[up][up][up] Wonder Woman shares Superman's vulnerability to magic however, so it wouldn't at all be surprising if Bruce possesses a bag of pixie knock-out dust as he did in Injustice. This is assuming that he's in a good mood - if not, then he may break out spare samples of Scarecrow's gas or his Tower of Babel contingency plan.

No, she doesn't. Hell, she wields a magic sword.

That's one of the most awesome contingency plans Bruce has ever come up with.

How do you fight an unstoppable Physical God'dess? By making her hallucinate an endless stream of opponents until she tuckers herself out. In other words the secret to fighting and defeating Wonder Woman is not picking a fight with her in the first place.

Bruce comes to this conclusion after sparring with Diana and realizing that not only could he not actually beat her, but she would never give up. He turns her Determinator strength into a flaw he can exploit.

And yeah, Diana is not vulnerable to magic. Heck, she practically is magic especially in the DCU where's she's Zeus' daughter

Hell, she wields a magic sword.

I thought the lasso was her weapon of choice.

I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.

I suppose a better way to frame my logic would be that: magic-wielding characters (I'm assuming the Greek mythological characters to be "magical") can fight against Wonder Woman, therefore magical contingencies against Superman could at least stave off Diana enough to make a retreat.

Not to mention that: Diana's magical Amazon sword < Bruce's reality-Warping Plot Armor . [lol]

Bruce does have nigh invincible Plot Armor. Is that ever lampshaded?

ArthurEld Since: May, 2014
#895: Sep 15th 2016 at 2:49:41 PM

[up][up]

It depends. I mean, generally speaking anything that can hurt Superman that isn't a specific Kryptonian weakness can already hurt Wonder Woman.

So yeah, Diana's electron-slicing sword could hurt her just as well as it hurts Superman.

Superman' magic weakness isn't portrayed all that consistently, though.

Now if the physical force to injure Superman were to be applied to Batman, either Bruce needs to dodge the force/blow/bullet/explosion or Superman needs to be around to tank the force. I presume Clark would do that? Because he'd rather get hurt than some one else get killed. Or Diana could block it with her awesome bracelets. And no one gets hurt.

Most of the time he'd just dodge, but yes Superman would certainly take a hit for Batman.

Shouldn't he break his foot? Shouldn't Diana have reflexes fast enough to avoid that kick?
