Would you object to a story that began with, to maintain our example, Damien attempting to escape Ra's and Batman wanting to protect him?
To a scientist seeking political asylum in El Paso, who Jaime must decide what to do with?
To an Intergang lieutenant who comes to Superman wanting to turn States' evidence?
What is it about the women's shelter scenario, specifically, that you find so offputting?
That seems limiting and... kind of sexist.
Limiting? In what way is it limiting for Wonder Woman stories to address not only normal superhero issues, but also this one thing that every other superhero story avoids like the plague? In what way is it limiting to have a character who, by definition, has a wider palette of available important stories because her nature forbids a large swath of those stories from getting summarily swept under the rug and ignored as they are *everywhere else* in the industry?
You can tell a punching robot story with Wonder Woman. You can tell a punching robot story with Superman. You can tell a political story with Wonder Woman. You can tell... you can tell another punching robot story with Superman.
Who's the limited character?
It's, again, not about "repping the terrible struggle of being a woman." It's the fact that, if she is any kind of hero, she will not sit idly by and watch sexism happen. All superheroes fight injustice. That is what they are there for. That is what we, theoretically, watch them do every week, when they're not wrapped up in post-modern masturbatory territorial battles (which is a whole other obnoxious tangent that I apologize for even bringing up). We watch them overcome the injustice of someone outsmarting the law or outgunning the law; of someone inflicting a hurt that the law does not prevent; we watch them protect the people who cannot protect themselves. Why should it perturb you if Diana is particularly concerned with social injustice? Bruce has a special penchant for children, particularly orphans, because he relates to them. Ollie makes a point of looking out for the disadvantaged - a belief they're being overlooked is his whole shtick. What makes it so problematic that Diana should be particularly interested in women?
