Superman has his Fortress of Solitude. Batman has the Batcave. Wonder Woman has…an old abandoned barn?
Does she at least have an old rusty padlock on the door to the Barn of Paradise?
The tour of these rather modest accommodations were arranged by Sensation Comics #24 (December 1943) by Evelyn Gaines, Frank Harry, William Moulton Marston, Stan Aschmeier, Sheldon Moldoff, Harry G. Peter, Howard Purcell, and Paul Reinman.
Remember when Wonder Woman committed identity theft in order to become an American citizen? Because I sure do.
I’m pretty sure that’s a felony.

UPDATE (2016.07.31.): James Daily of the comic book legal blog Law and the Multiverse has classified this transaction as “pretty illegal”. You can read more about his thoughts on this here.
It says something when, almost immediately after arriving in Man’s World, you decide to embrace capitalism and turn yourself into a sideshow attraction.

Yet another special piece in my original artwork collection: a sketch of Wonder Woman by Howard Porter, who, together with Grant Morrison and John Dell, helped usher in the extremely popular Modern Age revival of the JLA in 1997.
I think someone’s been spending too much time reading radical feminist blogs on Tumblr.
Remember what Wonder Woman was like before the New 52? When her response to men disrespecting her involved petty acts of vandalism and destruction of private property rather than explicit threats of castration (which makes her about one step removed from Frank Miller‘s interpretation of her)?
I kinda miss that Wonder Woman.
This…thing…was taken from Wonder Woman #19 (June 2013) by Brian Azzarello, Tony Akins, Goran Sudžuka, and Dan Green.
Only in Frank Miller’s DC Universe is Wonder Woman beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena…and personable as Andrea Dworkin.
Three bets that Miss Congeniality here got voted off Paradise Island.
Today’s novel view of man’s world has been brought to you by All-Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder #5 (July 2007) by Frank Miller, Jim Lee, Alex Sinclair, Dave Stewart, and Scott Williams.
Ladies and gentlemen, I submit, for your approval, the following image:
Somewhere, somehow…something went horribly wrong. 😦
To the left, we have mainstream actress Adrianne Palicki in costume from the unaired 2011 television pilot episode of Wonder Woman. To the right, we have adult film actress Kimberly Kane in costume from the upcoming porn movie Wonder Woman XXX: An Axel Braun Parody.
Conclusion: Warner Bros. should start hiring Vivid Entertainment‘s costume designers for their own productions, because they somehow manage to create outfits that are not only more comic book accurate but also leave their wearers with more of their dignity intact.
It’s ladies’ night out in Gotham City as Zatanna Zatara, Wonder Woman, and a pre-paraplegic Barbara Gordon decide to hit every nightclub, karaoke joint, and bar that they possibly can.
Yowza...talk about being dressed to kill.
Early on, our favorite female magician proves just how deadly the combination of a woman’s wiles with magic can be when she shamelessly uses her powers to cut in line (and show off her pop culture knowledge to boot).
This is what's commonly referred to by nerds as "foreplay".
Later, out on the dance floor, Wonder Woman makes the acquaintance of a rather boorish young man and decides to engage in a petty act of vandalism after he inadvertently insults her. Bitch.
Just be glad she didn't try and redefine the term "nutcracker".
This humorous scene is also notable for containing a unique type of anachronism for comics: the fleeting kind.
According to the floating timeline that the DC Universe operates on, the events of Batman: The Killing Joke (1988) – the graphic novel in which Barbara Gordon was crippled – took place approximately six years ago. Since it’s currently 2010, that would mean that this flashback story from The Brave and the Bold #33 (June 2010) ostensibly takes place sometime in 2004…yet the iPhone was first released three years later in June 2007.
The good news is that, while this story may be historically inaccurate now, it won’t be in three years’ time, which is pretty neat, I think. Of course, if Apple Inc. ever discontinues the entire iPhone line we’re going to have a whole new set of problems to deal with.
Which leaves us with an interesting question: did writer J. Michael Straczynski do all this on purpose or not?
UPDATE (2010.05.06.): I missed an anachronism due to serious gaps in my musical knowledge (though the fact that the lyrics are mostly obscured doesn’t help either). Several people have pointed out that the song Barbara, Diana, and Zatanna are belting out in the karaoke bar…
I would love to see them do "Telephone" next.
…is Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) by Beyoncé Knowles, which was released in October 2008. So it looks we’ll have to wait until 2014 before historical accuracy kicks in.
