More About Wonder Woman (Diana Prince): Diana is the daughter of Queen Hippolyta, the first child born on Paradise Island in the three thousand year history that the immortal Amazons lived there. The Amazons had been created around 1200 B.C. when the Greek goddesses drew forth the souls of all women who had been murdered by men and placed them on the island. One soul was held back from creation, the one that would be born as Diana. That soul originally belonged to the unborn daughter of the first woman murdered by a man (whom Hippolyta was the reincarnation of). In the late 20th Century, Hippolyta was instructed to mold some clay from the shores of Paradise Island into the form of a baby girl. Six members of the Greek Pantheon then bonded the soul to the clay, giving it life. Each of the six also granted Diana a gift: Demeter, great strength; Athena, wisdom and courage; Artemis, a hunter's heart and a communion with animals; Aphrodite, beauty and a loving heart; Hestia, sisterhood with fire; Hermes, speed and the power of flight. Diana grew up surrounded by a legion of sisters and mothers. When she was a young woman, the gods decreed that the Amazons must send an emissary into Man's World. Queen Hippolyta ordered a contest to be held, but forbade Diana from participating. Diana disobeyed and did so anyway in disguise, easily winning the contest and being named the Amazon's champion. She was given a uniform fashioned from the standard of someone who had visited the island a few decades earlier.

Great comments from someone who actually understood wonder woman.

That's where Patty Jenkins failed Wonder Woman. By removing a large chunk of Diana's mythological background, they really did a great disservice to her. George Perez embraced Wonder Woman's Greek heritage and methology, and the patheon of Greek Gods and Goddesses, that is what's wonderful about his run with WW. In the new WW84 movie, Diana yearned for Steve Trevor but that loneliness is heightened by Diana's exile from Themyscira. She could not go back to her Amazonian sisters and mother to seek their solace and companionship. That is what's so aggravating about Patty Jenkin's depiction of Diana.

I didn't care for his Artwork...I thought his influence sucked.

Yeah, you're just wrong, a joker, or both.
