Batman Entering Diana’s Storyline is EXACTLY What Tom King’sWonder WomanNeeded
Cover B Card Stock Variant by David Nakayama forWonder Woman#20 (2025)
Since Wonder Woman #14, which marked the death of Steve Trevor and the ‘birth’ of Diana and Steve’s daughter, Elizabeth Marston Prince,theWonder Womanstoryline has felt somewhat isolated from the rest of continuity.While these events are significant for Wonder Woman’s character as a whole, their effects have largely been confined to Tom King’s run, with little crossover into other series likeMark Waid’sJustice League Unlimited. Additionally, major developments in the DCU, such as Diana’s role in the new Justice League, haven’t been reflected in her solo series. This has created a sense that her story exists in a"Wonder-Family"bubble, separate from the larger DC universe.
Hence,King’s decision to introduce Batman into the narrative is a much-needed move to ground and connect theWonder Womanseries with the broader DC universe.Batman’s inclusion will help break down the narrative walls, allowing Diana’s character development to resonate beyond her own storyline. It will also hopefully lead to the acknowledgment of her Justice League membership and highlight how the events of King’s run are starting to impact her role in the larger DCU. Hence, Batman’s integration has the potential to create a more cohesive and interconnected narrative.

A Batman and Wonder Woman team-up is exciting on its own, but the possibility that Bruce will be meeting Diana’s infant daughter for the first time makes this issue even more thrilling. As mentioned earlier, this moment will be a significant example of the events fromWonder Woman#14 having a wider impact, reaching characters beyond the Wonder-Family. It could also present Bruce with the chance to take on the role of ‘Uncle Batman,’ given his close bond with Diana. Therefore, the anticipation of seeingBatman’sreaction toWonder Woman’sdaughter makes this issue one that fans won’t want to miss.
