Will Wonder Woman Ever Get The Respect She Deserves?

OK, that's a bigger question than I could possibly tackle in silly old blog post, but I do wonder sometimes if DC actually has any clue what to do with the Amazon Princess. She's only ever really had one great comic run (when George Perez was writing and penciling her comic, following the Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot of WW), despite being around only two years less than Batman (and three less than Superman). She's arguably as recognizable as DC's Big Two, but you'd never know it by the way her comic book existence has gone over the past six and a half decades.

Having said that, I'm somewhat excited at the prospect of a direct-to-DVD animated feature for Diana, the details of which you can read about here, if you'd like. It's probably going to be underwhelming, like so much of what's already been done with the character, but I'll at least give it a chance. She was pretty cool in the Justice League: The New Frontier movie, after all... so who knows?
