Kind of pissed Wonder Woman wasn't used very much


During the series, it seemed Wonder Woman missed a lot of storylines throughout.

I guess I would have thought being a major comic book character and part of Trinity that she would have seen more action.

Also the fact that we still have really yet to see a Wonder Woman solo cartoon series apart from Supes and Bats so I would have figured that this was a golden opportunity to expand on WW even more.

Sure she was featured in a lot of the episodes, but I noticed that she was written out more than the other principle players during the first 2 seasons.

Quite disappointed.

As someone who wasn't a Wonder Woman fan until I watched the entire series recently, I have to agree in retrospect. There wasn't quite enough. It's unfortunate that she never got her own show with the great Susan Eisenberg voicing her, though there's no reason that couldn't eventually happen (unfortunately she's not voicing her in the upcoming "Justice League: Action").

Popularity power. Like it or not Supes and Bats were always more popular and got their own animated series' leading to it, but WW didn't.

She got some good episodes here though: The Balance, Maid of Honour, Fury...

Yeah, they definitely could have and should have thrown more passes to her, like in "Twilight" when Superman refused to aid Darkseid & Apokolips against Brainiac due to his hatred of the Big D and they had Batman get in Supes' face with the trash talk (Superman back-handing Batman in part is still one of my favorite moments), they could have given that to Wonder Woman and have her use compassion and reason to try and talk Superman down from his rage instead of letting popularity power & what not dictate the scene.
