SDCC '07: DC'S GROUP THERAPY PANEL

The next question was for Simone, and was "Who will be the next member of the Secret Six?" Gail said that it was just that - a secret.

Another question for Simone was whether or not there would be appearances from the Birds of Prey in her Wonder Woman run, and Simone said probably not, at least in the first year.

The artist has also started on designs for Simone's run, he pointed out. "I have the first script, and I've already started doing design work because there are a bunch of new characters and redesigns," he said. "It's going to be a lot of fun. Gail's really enthusiastic about the book. She's got a clear idea about what she wants to do with the next two years of the book, so it's nice to have a set-in-stone schedule for Wonder Woman. And the issues will be coming out regularly and on time, so that will be good for fans."

"Is Oliver Queen going to die, because he appears up to the wedding but isn't on the cover of Green Arrow/Black Canary #1?" Avoiding an answer, DiDio turned it over to Wayne who closed the panel with "Thanks for coming."

Simone was asked about her upcoming Wonder Woman run, and she said that she'll establish that the lasso is one of the dangerous weapons in the DC Universe and that they'll make it clear "who Wonder Woman is."

Why was Batwoman made a lesbian?" Berganza said it wasn't done to be controversial, and was just done to show different diverse aspects of life.

Simone was asked if there were plans to explore the relation between Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl or Supergirl. Morrison, riffing off the previous exchange: "I hope it's not one of those kooky lesbian things."

Simone said the book will focus on just Wonder Woman for a while.

Another question for Simone is what she was planning on doing to establish Wonder Woman at an equal "big gun" level to Batman and Superman. "We are going to establish that she is the greatest warrior on Earth," Simone answered.
