More Batmans, More Problems?

too many batmen

I also think there is a DIFFERENCE between exploring the worlds of these characters and branching out into other heroes/villains within them (like the world of Spider-Man is doing) and giving us ... two Bruce Waynes.

Wonder Woman 1984 Expects Me to Believe That THE Wonder Woman Has Spent Six Decades in Mourning and That Doesn’t Sit Well With Me

New Wonder Woman 1984 still from the Junior Novelization

I'm supposed to think that this Steve/Diana reverse fish out of water scenario is cute, but it's completely marred by the fact that this is a woman who's completely isolated herself from society for over 60 years save for working a 9 to 5 and the occasional secret crime-fighting, but she doesn’t even relish in that. Diana only finds joy again when her dead boyfriend takes over another man’s body, EVEN IF she's clearly done some pretty cool shit on her own

Wonder Woman 1984’s Major Misstep With Steve Trevor

Chris Pine as Steve Trevor and Gal Gadot as Diana Prince in Wonder Woman 1984

The method in which Chris Pine's Steve Trevor is reintroduced into Diana's world is, for lack of a better word, awful.
