Hippolyta as The Golden Age Wonder Woman - Yes or No?

[nightforce]

I much rather that Hippolytta was just Diana's Mother and Queen

I'm gonna be completely shallow for a moment here. Phil Himenez's costumes for her were awesome. I loved the golden age style costume with silver accents instead of gold.

I voted no because:

1. The time-travel aspect of it gives me a headache.

2. It takes away from Diana's impact if she isn't the first Wonder Woman.

3. Hippolyta makes a rather harsh Wonder Woman.

So, yeah. No.

[QUOTE=Bored at 3:00AM;9579833]I'd prefer it if it Diana was both the Golden Age and Modern Age Wonder Woman. I don't see any reason why the character can't be extremely long-lived like the rest of the Amazons.

I think it also would solve the Steve Trevor problem by allowing their romance to take place within the context of WWII. This keeps Steve Trevor as an important part of the story, but also allows current writers to introduce new romantic suitors for Diana, while also giving her some much-needed pathos and heart-break to her personality.


I like this idea. Like a villian from the 40s does serious harm to Steve .Like Dr. Posion disiguse herself as a doctor to posion the. Military base. Diana getting there just in time. Defeat Dr. Posion and once steve recovery she knows that things can't work out between them because if one villian was able to get than just think if they discover her secret identity . Steve would be put in danger. Diana also notice Etta Candy as feels for Steve . So she stops. She happy for Steve and Etta . She would leave fall in love for some else.

I voted NO, but not because it takes away from Wonder Woman. I just didn't like it when it was done in the past. I thought the whole idea was just convoluted, pointless, and complicated.

In THIS nu52 I'd like it even less, starting because I pretty much think that "nu52" is happening in a different Earth than the nu52 Wonder Woman. Nothing supports my theory that I can point at and say "this is why I think that" but its just how I feel. I think -re-nu52 Diana is alive and well living her life on another earth, along with all the things we knew.

Who was it that cooked up that arc? Byrne? I forget.

Haven't read this but had heard of it and was not pleased. Really, if you want Wonder Woman in the JSA there was an easy way to have her. She's immortal. Its the way they handled it in the television series. Having Hippolyte just makes Diana seem pointless. She's already had experience in the outside world. She already knows some of the people Wonder Woman will work along side. So instead they send Diana and don't tell her anything to prepare her? A really pointless retcon if you ask me.

I actually really liked it, up until Jimenez made it a point of contention out of which came petty spats between Diana and Polly. Diana came off looking childish in those arguments.

It gave Polly something interesting to do besides thinking of ways to make Diana miserable (historically her role in WW comics).

[The Man From Room X]

If Batman (Bruce) can be a legacy character I see no reason why Wonder Woman can't be one as well.
