Here are some reasons why she will be a great writer for this currently floundering, flagship title of the last member of the DC triumvirate that includes Superman and Batman.
The thing is, Wonder Woman doesn't need re-invention. I strongly believe that, like Superman, she is so fantastically brilliantly conceived that she defines cool already, when her stories are told with conviction and thrust and an eye towards showcasing what makes her great rather than false attempts to make her ‘relatable.' Hell with ‘relatable.' Is Batman ‘relatable?' Is a Transformer? Is Godzilla? No, they are simply badass enough that the ‘what's cool' line has to move to include them, rather than the other way around.

Well, right off the bat, she faces an army of Captain Nazis. There's just something joyous about seeing Diana smash a Nazi face that's undeniable. It'd look weird for Batman, and Superman's a bit too kind. But for Diana, man, it's a great match.

ST: Okay, what's with the monkeys?
