I don't care what you read, and I couldn't care less about your notifications! ROTFLOL. Your last sentence didn't make any sense - I don't know what "implications" you're talking about, but definitely refrain from engaging with me in future because there are far more cogent conversations for me...

It is a fetishistic pairing in all occurrences, de facto, because as I explained Poison Ivy is not the type of character who is going to become BFFs with Harley Quinn and actually live with her etc (as depicted initially by Dini and Timm, before that idea was adopted elsewhere too). When a...

I am not a fan of Harley Quinn beyond her first 2 episodes on B:TAS and then "Harley's Holiday" much later, but I always hated the fetishistic pairing of Harley and Ivy. Paul Dini simply never understood Poison Ivy - neither did Bruce Timm - and reduced her to being Harley's partner-in-crime. An...

This was one of the Top 10 episodes of B:TAS for me. Above and beyond Alfred's fascinating and most compelling backstory, which the likes of Bruce Timm never cared about before or since, I would take Red Claw over Harley Quinn any day. She was by far the best new villain introduced on B:TAS -...

Mattel was trying to reuse the models and prototypes they had for their PRINCESS OF POWER (She-Ra) toyline when they proposed a new Wonder Woman-led franchise in the early 90s. If you watch the video, you can see that the Wonder Woman figure would have been a repurposed version of Catra...

I always got suck a kick out of these ALTERNATE versions of the same cover. Ha!

As someone who doesn't see the DCAU as "one canon" - but rather a couple of different canons/timelines/continuities under one overarching umbrella - I think each of the comics you've listed so meticulously above could be "canon" in one strand of DCAU continuity or another. For instance, I...

Thank you so much for sharing that. :) I also think it really helped set apart the DCAU Wonder Woman from all the other versions up to that point, because even Hana-Barbera's SUPER FRIENDS depicted the famous Contest in their Origin episode. And we still caught a 'glimpse' of Diana...

2 things - THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY (metaphorically speaking) and CONTEXT. :) WW's aggression and Flash's aggression need to be compared relative to their backgrounds. Flash was not trained to be an Amazonian Warrior from the time he was a child. But for someone who was raised like an...

Diana is an AMAZON - she was trained to be a WARRIOR WOMAN by definition! So naturally, as I said, there is going to be a mythic fighter proportion embedded into her personality - she is not Glinda the Good or Rainbow Brite - and considering her FUNDAMENTALLY AMAZONIAN NATURE, I think she was...

Both Aquaman and Green Lantern were more aggressive than Wonder Woman/Diana - and arguably the Flash too, despite his more playful and kiddish demeanor. Diana fights like a Greco-Roman mythological warrior, whereas the Flash just wants to "kick butt", while Aqua and GL had some serious machismo...

The DCAU Diana is BRAT. And I mean that as a compliment (in the 2024 sense of the word). :D As for the political stuff, we already had Superman doing all that at the beginning of JL. WW had to be different. I would argue that being "political" itself carries very negative connotations in our...

Well, she IS a Princess who only started 'fighting' relatively recently in this continuity, so it's understandable that Her Royal Highness might be cranky because some riff raffs rained on her R & R. Lol. I will say that this JL/JLU version of WW leaned into her 'Princess' identity more, which...

:) :) (there's a 'bonus link' embedded within the smiles by the way, related to the 'critical mass' comment) Ares would naturally trigger that kind of response from WW though, wouldn't he? And we must remember, in keeping with the Greek mythological roots of WW, her cultural background is...

The HG/GL pairing was something that was decided upon by the writers from early on in Season One itself, which is why that was "developed" to the extent that it was. And IMHO one major relationship like that is MORE THAN ENOUGH on an animated show where the target audience was kids. I didn't...
