I wondered if you'd include the Classified arc. That kind of exemplifies his treatment of Diana for me. She's incredibly competent combat-wise and absolutely an icon, but she's just a warrior (though that shows more in the running-around-with-Steve dream sequence), and the pre-Crisis influence still saturates her. She commands Taz with the lasso, she uses the "hola" nonsense that Perez got rid of, she's commanding her invisible plane. The "good boy" thing is a really jarring note. But the most telling thing, I think, is the narration - in that story, everybody else gets caption boxes. J'onn, the Olympian, Arthur gets a whole page of "this is who they are, these are their powers" as soon as they show up. Diana gets four pages with no introduction, and her caption is "Diana of Themyscira. Wonder Woman." Like, on the one hand, it's such a hell yes moment - she needs no introduction apart from the incredible asskicking she hands out. On the other hand, a part of me wonders if he just couldn't think of anything to say about her.
