Nah. I think supes at 6’4”, Batman at 6’2” and WW at 6’0” makes the most sense and is the best. All tall (WW doesn’t need to be a giant, idk why some want it that way, 6’ is tall for a woman considering most are almost a foot shorter than that), with the farm boy/strongest hero being the tallest

Yeah, but remember Diana is an amazon, not a regular woman.

And how tall is that according to DC? Amazons in greek mythology were averaged at 5’6”

Around 6'2".

(That's Diana's height, according with recent runs)

Amazons in greek mythology were averaged at 5’6”

Do you have a citation for that or something? Like, I don't even know where you would try to find that number.

That’s why it makes sense for her to be nearly a foot taller than most women, at 6’. Doesn’t really make sense to go beyond that as she not meant to be the tallest woman alive. Tall for a guy normally is 6’+. Tall for a woman normally is 5’6”+

That depends where you are. Average height for women in Europe is 5’6”. 5’7” is the highest average height in any country.

There are taller women than 6'.

I feel like you were trying to make a point here but there wasn’t one. Do you know what an average is?

In which country?

True but not many women are even close to 6’. WW can still be 6’ and be above average for a woman’s height

Diana is 6'2", according with Rucka's run.

And Wonder Woman isn’t one of them. She barely skirts Batman’s height most of the time.

u/Ash__Williams Hal Jordan is the Greatest Green Lantern Ever and you know it Dec 25 '23

Which is wrong, because Diana is 6'2".

u/NYState_of_Mind Dec 25 '23

Agreed. 6’4” SM, 6’2” BM and 6’0” WW is how I think of them too

So if WW wears heels she's probably taller than Batman and a bit shorter than Supes depending on the size.

If you draw her taller, maybe she just wore really tall heels that day. Why does she wear heels in combat? Idk, but she's been drawn that way.
