![]() Problem is, didn't Barbara already used her wish to become more like Diana when she wished upon the Dreamstone the first time around? The Dreamstone is explicitly stated to be able to grant someone only one wish, and there's nothing that indicates that Maxwell taking the power of it for himself cancelled it and those who have already wished once can wish again through him, so how is he able to grant Barbara's second wish to make her even more powerful? Doesn't make sense. In the climax, Barbara teams up with Maxwell Lord after the White House incident, and he offers to make any wish of hers come true, and Barbara wishes to become 'the apex predator' so Max turns her into the Cheetah who could fight the fully-powered Diana on even grounds.If she can easily get around there, it shouldn’t be a problem again. She kicked a car out of the way of hitting a runner and she later goes back to her apartment to change into casual clothing without anyone noticing and possesses fast movement.Using her powers in public would go against that, and she couldn't change into her costume because she couldn't exactly wear it under her clothes like Superman. The opening establishes that she's (somewhat) trying to keep her Wonder Woman persona under the radar, by destroying security cameras in the mall and focusing on quick, small-scale interventions rather than big end-of-the-world events. ![]() So, she fights crime on an empty stomach?.The man was in front of her on the curb so the cab picked the closest one. Why does the immortal Diana need a cab when it's established that she move at rapid speeds and across great distances with great ease, even when she's in a somewhat depowered state? They're trying to establish the sexist world she lives in, but this falls short due to her abilities. After Diana has a lonely dinner, she attempts to hail a cab, but it stops for a male passenger instead.So while it did take her nearly a century to get over Steve and even begin to show signs of considering another man, perhaps her character arc in this sequel helped her get there, in the forty-one years between it and the next few movies. Most people have picked up on how Batman v Superman and, more tangibly, both versions of Justice League show Ship Tease between Diana and Bruce Wayne. ![]() The movie also seems to go with a Most Men Are Perverts kind of thing, from Diana's point of view, if not on the whole could be that, consciously or otherwise, she's too busy judging each man she meets against her glorified memories of Steve and how wholesome he was to consider whether any of them might actually be a good match.
