If you have not been reading Blackest Night (and why haven’t you?!), you may not know this. Wonder Woman, after becoming one of the Black Lanterns, was turned into a Star Sapphire because of how much she loves Earth. I adore this a great deal, because Wonder Woman is a bad ass, as are the Star Sapphires. However, her key point in turning into a SS…was by kissing an imaginary Batman.
Wut.
I know I’ve been out of the loop for a long time, but I don’t ever recall Wonder Woman and Batman ever having feeling’s for each other aside from friendship. I simply don’t like the idea that the writers decided she needed a “kiss” from Prince Charming to become a super-super hero. Was her own will and love not strong enough to prove her having a ring? Is Batman’s kiss really validating her to become a guardian of love? It’s pretty insulting to assume that Wonder Woman really need’s a dead guy to prove her awesome abilities, and she really is a strong enough character on her own where they could have made her a Sapphire without Batman’s (or a man’s) help. So, Greg Rucka, shame on you.
