The relationship between Batman and Joker is very deep and complex, so much so that there are even documentaries about it such as Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight that deal with the subject. There is this idea that Joker cannot exist without Batman and that Batman needs the Joker to give meaning to his crusade. It is a cosmic relationship in DC that has been giving us joy for decades.
Now, DC has given Wonder Woman a very similar relationship with a supervillain by uniting them cosmically. Of course, it has turned out to be the complete opposite of the violent and bloody relationship of the clown and the Dark Knight. One look at The Killing Joke is enough to be horrified. The comic Wonder Woman #10 (2024) has achieved something we thought was impossible.
Wonder Woman and Cheetah, the Amazon’s signature supervillain, have sat down to have a much-needed conversation. While this story begins with violence, Diana and Barbara manage to reach such an understanding that they can now be considered allies and, as the comics paint, it seems that their creators are preparing a friendly and/or romantic arc.
Barbara points out that it doesn’t matter who Cheetah is (Priscilla, Deborah or herself) because at the end of the day “…the gods have decided that if there is a Wonder Woman, there must also be a Cheetah.” While both duos are united by very powerful forces, only the two women have managed to reach an understanding and accept that they must understand each other in order not to end up in a spiral of violence, like the two young masters. This opens the door to a very interesting arc in Diana’s story, as rightly indica ScreenRant.
