SPOILERS: The writers of this game must really hate Wonder Woman
I am kind of surprised given that Wonder Woman is one of the big 3 in the Justice League. In the original Injustice, it was kind of established that the incident with Lois is the only point of diversion between this DC universe and the main DC universe. The implication for Wonder Woman being that, if Superman were to go all evil dictator in the main DC universe, so would Wonder Woman. Rather than try to fight him or reason with him, she would just follow his lead.

I don't think it's an issue with misogyny, though that argument could be made, because it seems that Black Canary, Harley, and Catwoman are all treated with respect by the writers. Wonder Woman, for all intents and purposes, is the "big bad" in the Injustice universe. Even Superman is given some moments of sympathy for his character. Wonder Woman here has no redeemable qualities.

Black Adam and Aquaman are both royalty that, no matter the events in Injustice 1 and 2, remain loyal to their people. Diana, princess of the amazons, outright betrays hers. In her personal story ending, she puts all of her former friends on trial, and then essentially declares war on Themyscira for not supporting Superman on his insane quest to eliminate crime. This is presented thematically in the exact same way that endings for evil characters are presented in Mortal Kombat X

Wonder Woman also had also betrayed Lois Lane, by moving in on Superman immediately after Lois' death to start a romantic relatioship with him. In the main story of the game it is established that Wonder Woman's fear is that she corrupted Superman, and she absolutely did. Wonder Woman not only followed Superman's descent into evil, but she actively encourages it.

Not to mention that one of Wonder Woman's few major scenes in the original Injustice is Green Arrow making a comment on Wonder Woman's dress.

Sorry for the pseudo essay here, but I was wondering if anyone else felt this way. Obviously, the writers are huge Batman fans and that's great, but I am just amazed at how much the writers disrespect Wonder Woman as a character.

I have no idea about her lore and I am not into these comics etc. (don't even know half of the roster) but I have just seen the new WW movie and I liked the character and her story very much. So i decided to main WW in this game but playing the story I was a bit disappointed than in this game she is displayed a bit evil . I like the movie character a lot more :/.... so I will try to forget the story mode fast... and imagine I am playing a character who is a good girl. :D

That's absolutely degenerate...

I have no idea what do you mean.

edit2: Faecal Fjôrd Fisters Fraternity: " After seeing the most recent 'Woeful Women' schlock, I--too--hate the Zionist, ex JIDF agent... I mean, Wonder Woman."

what does that even mean? I wonder please could you translate it? Was it some racist comment? I am puzzled.

I meant like the character the writers have created and not the actress ehh.

But that "zionist" comment still..

Is the actress is a jew and you don't like jews or something ? I still don't get it. I am so sorry but I really hate to read political, religious , and other crap not belong to gaming when I reading gaming forums ...... probably I should quit steam discussions. ehh

edit: ehh so she is from Izrael and that makes her a zionist and me a "degenerate" because you thought I like the actress? just lol

Sorry OP.. :(
