No Wonder Woman? How could they forget her?

@PurpleWarrior13 The show was meant to promote a toyline, one that's presumably male-focused. I guess they figured that a young boy wouldn't want to be caught dead with a female action figure. She wasn't in the special because they likely didn't want to promote someone with no toy.

@NCZ I've seen action figures for MANY female characters before, and the Burger King toyline for Justice League included WW, and I've seen many action figures for her over the years, so it makes NO sense for them to ignore her for this.

@PurpleWarrior13 Agreed, it's silly and doesn't make much sense to leave out a popular character just because some people still have a sexist way of thinking. Principles like that are the reason Transformers fans had to wait 24 years for a proper Arcee figure. Of course, discussions of gender issues like this are kind of touchy, so I'll just leave it at that.
