Man Tapped To Draw The New Wonder Woman Doesn’t Want Her To Be “Feminist”
David Finch, the artist who’s taking over DC Comics' Wonder Woman, says he wants the feminist icon to be “strong"—but not "feminist.”
He said: “We want to make sure it’s a book that treats her as a human being first and foremost, but is also respectful of the fact that she represents something more. We want her to be a strong—I don’t want to say feminist, but a strong character. Beautiful, but strong.”
“That’s pretty funny,” Kristy Guevara-Flanagan, who created the film Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines. “She’s an obvious feminist role model for many people for many reasons…It’s like getting rid of her kryptonite to say that about her.”
