* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: By the time Maxwell gets everyone in the world to make their wishes, he is utterly consumed by his power and is ChewingTheScenery like there's no tomorrow. It takes a KirkSummation from Diana for him to realize what he's doing and snap out of it.

Added DiffLines:
* NotSoSimilar: Ares and Diana are both children of Zeus who have dual identities and become disillusioned with humanity, but the similarities end there. Ares continuously indulges humanity's worst impulses so he can prove himself right while Diana ultimately decided to encourage humanity's better side. Additionally when it comes to dealing with Apokoliptians, Ares was negligent enough to leave Darkseid wounded while Wonder Woman went straight for Steppenwolf's head.
Added DiffLines:
* AdaptationalSympathy: Barbara's desire for power came after she was almost attacked, whereas in the comics she just wants power for its own sake.
Added DiffLines:
* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: When Cheetah and Wonder Woman have their climactic battle, the former is naked while the latter wears a suit of armor.
Added DiffLines:
* ShutUpKirk: Wonder Woman's attempts to reason with Barbara fall on deaf ears, and not without reason. If Wonder Woman renounces her wish, she gets her powers back, if Barbara renounces her wish, she goes back to being a vulnerable nobody.
Added DiffLines:
* StrongButUnskilled: Barbara gains strength and reflexes similar to Wonder Woman, but she doesn't get a chance to fully explore or understand her power, so her fight scenes are little more than brawls. This wasn't an issue when Wonder Woman's own power was fading, but by the time she regains it Barbara is at a disadvantage.
Added DiffLines:
* TheUnfettered: Wonder Woman's pleading with Cheetah to renounce her wish is hopeless. Cheetah pushes her to the point where she can only be stopped by being electrocuted half to death.
