Trying to Make Sense of It All...

Where's the justice, baby?!

For some reason, I was pontificating the changes made to Wonder Woman on the new Justice League series (actually, it’s been on for a few years now). I mean, my only real beef is that they just went over board with this new incarnation of Wonder Woman. Now, she can actually trade blows with Superman, and she can fly! Wonder Woman can’t fly! That’s why she had the invisible plane folks!
Then I thought about it: Dude, why would you even want an invisible plane? It’s not like you can leave it on the runway, something would hit it. Imagine getting drunk at a party and forgetting where you parked that bitch. SUppose the other folks at the Justice League decide to move that joint as a prank...oh, she's pissed! What if you want to put it on auto pilot and get your hump on, passer's by will see you. At the super hero awards, you gon' lose that joint once they valet park it. I mean, honestly, in retrospect, the plane being invisible was one of the dumbest ideas. There she was, sitting on air. I mean, what’s the point if she ain’t invisible, too?! Dog, you mean to tell me that the plane could cloak the seats and the control panel (which I’m sure you’d need to see at some point to judge, I don’t know…speed and altitude!), but you can’t cloak the pilot?
Under that premise, what happens when you have to go to the bathroom? Ewwwww.
Okay, so now the only ones who can’t fly are the Flash and Batman. But, the Flash can frickin’ run up the side of the empire state building if he wanted to. Poor Batman, the brainiest of them all, yet no powers. I mean, Wonder Woman should never be able to whip Superman’s ass. It’s just not right. Not that I care, because I think Superman is kinda corny; but I digress. Wonder Woman wasn’t all extra strong on the TV show, but she worked the hell out of those armlets and that lasso, didn’t she fellas. Shit, I wouldn’t mind being tied up by Wonder Woman...in her hey day. And Aquaman, who before could only swim really fast and talk to the fishes (Italian joke, folks, I know I spelled it wrong), now Aquaman is perhaps more gangsta than Batman himself. Nah, no one in the DC universe is more gangsta than Batman…but Aquaman is still ji’ raw in the cartoon. However, despite the fact Wonder Woman shoulders are broader than Batman’s, The Justice League is still a brolic cartoon, or some may say, animated series.
