Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With a new arch-villain and a new status quo, Wonder Woman has once again become one of the lodestones of the DC Universe. Ahead of May's Wonder Woman #9, series writer Tom King sat down with Screen Rant to talk all things Diana, including what sets her apart from Batman and Superman, the role of the Wonder Girls, the inherent hilarity of Trinity's backup story, and much more.
Related New Wonder Woman Quote Proves She's Justice League's Darkest Hero Batman may be the Dark Knight, but Wonder Woman is by far the Justice League's darkest member, and this bloodthirsty quote proves it. As to why it's relevant for today, you know— I say this as a guy who spent the first half of his life working for the government. Seeing my kids and one of the things I most admire is that they don't accept what's given. That they want to create a better world. That they want to constantly question the way things were set up. And I admire that in them, and I think that's a little bit of Wonder Woman in them.
SR: I love that you brought up your kids, and thinking about the kids who are reading these books as well, and that kind of rebelliousness of Wonder Woman as role model — because, simply as a fan, beyond my role in this professional capacity, I love that the Wonder Girls are part of this. My job as a comic-book writer is not to deny joy. My job as a comic-book writer is to give you joy.
SR: Not to stir the pot, then, but after you've spent some time writing the characters, do you have a favorite Wonder Girl? TK: They each have a place in my heart. I gotta say, Cassie is just the most fun to write, probably. I don't know, she just jumps out of the page at me. As a fanboy who gets to do the job he loves for a living, Cassie is kind of a fangirl who's doing the job for a living. I like that part of her.
I have a 10 year-old and a 14 year-old, my kids, and it's the one time they care about what I do for a living, because they love those stories. Wwe talk about it at the table, and I pitch jokes to them, and they’re like, “No dad, that's not good,” or “Let's do this!” And if I'm making them laugh, I know it's good. Yeah, it's my favorite. It's literally my favorite writing week of the year. And Belén Ortega just kills it on that, everything I’m bringing her.
TK: It is a weird dynamic! But I mean, we always say comics are for everybody, but then I write these comics that are, you know— they're really for people who love comics but are looking to dissect them and looking for huge themes. But I also want to write comics that you can pick off the shelf, like Wimpy Kid. I think it's important. Dog Man by Dav Pilkey, a series of graphic novels aimed at a very young demographic, is consistently one of the best-selling comics in the industry.
