There has been an incredible outcry about the number of women in the DCU and their handling. People have complained there is only one female character in issue No. 1. When Wonder Woman does make the scene, is there any way to win these people over?
There were no Korean characters in the first issue either, or gay and lesbian characters! It’s a tough line. You're trying to entertain the audience and it's not about creating didactic stories. When Wonder Woman shows up it will be very momentous and each character will get their place in the sun and you'll see the value of their contribution to the team. It’s a story. You’ve got to let it breathe and open up.

Sigh. I have a lot of love for Jim Lee and that probably won't change, but its depressing that he's talking about having comics dominated by white men, while lumping women together with statistic minorities (does he know that women make up half the population? Although I think they might actually outnumber men a little bit?), well, leaving them out and then waiting for the token female/gay/Asian to have their time in the spot light is just good story telling! GAWD.
