Wonder Woman, the Bella of DC Comics???

I came across THIS on Fuck Yeah Comicbook Secrets. Like Post Secret, it's a site where people anonymously post opinions they wouldn't otherwise voice in their online communities.

Looking beyond the fact that this is perhaps the worst manip ever, this post really got me thinking.

I am SO curious what my Twilight/Superhero-loving friends think about it!!

Most of the comments on the post are opinions of comicbook readers who tend to hate on Twilight as a rule, so I'd love to hear from people who know and respect both (aka know what they're talking about when they voice criticism of Bella).

Here's what I'm thinking...

For me, my interest in Wonder Woman has more to do with what she stands for rather than her day-to-day adventures. In that sense she is a blank character onto which I impose my own characteristics of what I want her to be - a strong, intelligent, ass-kicking woman.

I think that WW is Bella Swan-like in the sense that in reading Twilight, Bella had some distinct characteristics but given the limits of her BPOV, SM left a lot up to us as readers to fill in the blanks. It left a whole lot to the imagination and let me insert myself into the story thru her. That's not so much a criticism as part of the appeal.

I guess, as far as the DC Universe of characters goes, WW is a character on whom I impose my own understanding, rather than picking up nuances of character that might have been supplied by the writers and editors of the series.

I totally yield that this opinion would maybe be different if I was more of a WW devotee who has been following her adventures religiously, gathering a more informed understanding of her character. I've read many of her stories, spanning her character's history, but perhaps not with enough regularity to see more depth in her character. I've not been on top of the most recent incarnations of WW, so I also acknowledge that perhaps this lack of depth has been rectified since I stopped reading.

Anyway, I don't see WW as Bella in any way beyond that, really, as they are so different. But this definitely made me think about how much I really know WW and how I regard her within the scheme of the DC Universe.
