Sorry Superman, But Batman and Wonder Woman Are DC’s Actual Finest Duo

Sorry, Superman, but Wonder Woman has officially claimed your spot as Batman’s true World’s Finest partner with a new team-up on the horizon. However, while the idea of the Dark Knight and the Amazon Princess teaming up is enough to get fans excited, the real thrill comes from Batman potentially meeting his niece for the first time.

... the anticipation of seeing Batman’s reaction to Wonder Woman’s daughter makes this issue one that fans won’t want to miss.

Tom King's Wonder Woman #20, set for release on April 16, 2025, marks an exciting shift in the narrative as Diana teams up with none other than Batman. In this issue, Batman’s unmatched investigative skills will help Diana solve a murder on Mount Olympus.

While Batman and Superman have traditionally been the go-to duo in the Trinity, this issue finally brings the Dark Knight back into Wonder Woman’s world. The anticipation is further heightened by the stunning cover art from Daniel Sampere, Guillem March, and David Nakayama, each showcasing the dynamic between Batman and Wonder Woman. Hence, it’s clear this issue will offer something fresh and exciting for fans of both heroes.

Since Wonder Woman #14, which marked the death of Steve Trevor and the 'birth' of Diana and Steve’s daughter, Elizabeth Marston Prince, the Wonder Woman storyline 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 like Mark Waid's Justice 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 the Wonder Woman series 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.

Sure, Batman & Wonder Woman Teaming Up Is Exciting, But 'Uncle Batman' Is Even More So

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 from Wonder 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 seeing Batman’s reaction to Wonder Woman’s daughter makes this issue one that fans won’t want to miss.

Wonder Woman #20 is available April 16, 2025, from DC Comics!
