Warning: Contains potential spoilers for Wonder Woman #12!Wonder Woman And Robin Team-up for DC’s crisis event, Absolute powerHas officially proven Diana Prince’s superior tactical abilities compared to Batman.

Diana’s tactic of using love achieved more than any of Damian’s tactics, demonstrating the effectiveness of Wonder Woman’s approach compared to Batman’s reliance on fear.
Tom King, Tony S. Daniel and Leonardo Paciarotti’s Wonder Woman #12 is a tie-in to DC’s Absolute power event where Earth’s metahuman population is targeted and unjustly imprisoned by Amanda Waller and her power-stealing Amazo robots. In this issue, Wonder Woman and Robin, Damian Wayne, work together to discover the location of Waller’s secret prison.
Their investigation leads them to Captain Boomerang. However, extracting the prison’s location from the rogue proves more challenging than anticipated, forcing Damian and Diana to take turns trying to break him, using vastly different tactics – fear and love.
Wonder Woman proves that love is a better tactic than fear – Batman’s go-to
Diana’s team-up with Damian Wayne’s Robin proves that love is a better tactic than fear
Wonder Woman #12 features many exchanges between Damian and Wonder Woman as they debate the superiority of fear or love. Robin’s belief in fear as the dominant tactic is rooted in his father’s teachings and mirrors Batman’s preferred strategy. However, Wonder Woman remains convinced that love can overcome even fear. As they attempt to extract the necessary information from Captain Boomerang, they alternate between using their chosen tactics. Spoiler alert: Both ultimately fail, as Captain Boomerang proves to be Damian and Diana’s Kryptonite.
however, When you compare the two tactics of love and fear, Wonder Woman’s ultimately proves superior, How her approach of love brings them closer to convincing Captain Boomerang to help than any of Damian’s fear tactics. Diana reunites Boomerang with his son and uses the son to convince his father to help the heroes stop Waller. The villain readily agrees. Unfortunately, Boomerang reneges on their deal after a fight with his son. Nevertheless, Diana’s tactic of using love achieved more than any of Damian’s tactics, demonstrating the effectiveness of Wonder Woman’s approach compared to Batman’s reliance on fear.

Over the demonstration in Wonder Woman #12 That love can be more effective than fear, it is narratively logical that Diana would excel as a tactician compared to Bruce. Her millennia of combat experience and strategic acumen far surpass the Dark Knight’s. To suggest otherwise would be a disservice to her character, given her centuries of expertise. While Batman is undoubtedly a master tactician when compared to Wonder WomanTheir abilities in this area should be portrayed as more evenly matched, at least.
