    Default Earth 2: The Last Amazon?

    So everyone who read Earth 2 (or even just the preview) remembers Diana shouting about being "the last Amazon." Well... she was wrong.

    http://www.comicvine.com/news/james-...amazon/144661/

    Are we going to see Donna Troy? Artemis? Fury? Okay, I grant that they'll probably be called Fury no matter who it turns out to be, but still! Awesome news! Discuss!
    Looking for artists, know I won't find any. That blows.

    I think it's definitely Donna, consider her popularity. Though, you did make a great point about being called Fury. Great way to compromise everyone.

    It will probably be a character that will share similarities with Donna and Fury from the old Earth-Two, but is a new character overall.

    In the podcast Robinson specifically calls her a new character.

    i'm hoping it's Donna but doubtful. DC has screwed up a lot with the new DCnU IMO. But we'll see.

    Donna is the obvious choice but part of me hopes that it will be a character from the former Earth 2.

    I know it sounds stupid to wish for DC to hold off putting Donna back in action, but I'd rather her appear in the prime continuity so we can see her interactions with Diana, Dick, Roy, and others. But that probably won't happen so I guess this as good as it's going to get.

    I don't read "new character" here. Is it somewhere else?

    That [the characters had planned] was all planned from the beginning [i.e. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman knew they were going to die].The reason why Superman dies the way he does is a very important reason for later. The reason why I had Steppenwolf kill Wonder Woman is because there is a character I am creating for EARTH 2 that will directly involve that…Perhaps Wonder Woman…There might just be one [Amazon] left, that's where I am going with this. As a result, that person hating Steppenwolf…That's important. You will see the "last Amazon." The last Amazon was not Wonder Woman as she had thought. There will be a member of this team, down the line, that will be that [Amazon/Wonder Woman] figure.
    If you've followed any of Robinson's work then you already know that he certainly has an affinity for Donna Troy -- he even made her a prominent member of his Justice League series prior to the launch of the "new 52" last year. Now that Earth 2 Wonder Woman is dead, and Donna is clearly missing from the current DC Universe, will she be appearing as a member of Robinson's team in EARTH 2? Or could it be that Robinson is planning to introduce a whole new Earth 2 Amazon character to readers?
    Are you sure that "by the grace of god" you survived? Maybe god was trying to GET you and missed??!!??

    It's kinda worrying that James has affinity for Donna Troy, considering what the result was of the last time he wrote her.

    Robinson said he was "creating" a character. That sounds more like a new character than an old one to me. I mean, do you think he considers his versions of the Trinity something he "created"?
    "Batman is this force that appears out of nowhere behind a guy or all the sudden comes through the window like a man-sized brick and the note attached is a serious ass-whooping"

    Robinson mentions it later in the podcast when he's asked about it again. Quote: "..because that will help me to bring in this new female kick-ass character that I have planned."

    Also even in the above transcript you pasted he mentions creating the character for Earth 2. Would he really say that if all it entailed was to bring Donna Troy back? Even if it was a new spin on her? The impression I got from listening to the podcast in both instances was that this was a new female character. As ever though, we shall have to see when the final product hits the shelves.
