Wonder Woman was finally featuring in a speaking part on episode 22 of Young Justice. She was voiced by Maggie Q. Her presence was strong and she was finally, in my honest opinion, really shown as a true member of the Trinity in animation. Not outside of the boy's club of Superman and Batman. Wonder Woman's role in the Timm lead Justice League series was distilled to losing her temper, punching things and chasing after Batman for a date. She was never shown in a mentoring role nor very wise or compassionate. We hope to see some of this in Young Justice in the future.
In this episode we have two very nice interactions with her and Superman. Her supporting his nomination of Icon when he was being mocked by Green Arrow and her giving Clark a meaningful look when they were discussing Superboy. It seems they might be quite close friends. It might be too much to hope they could actually be in a relationship since DC always has Lois be the sun that Superman must orbit around. Even when she is not in a series and hardly relevant to what's going on.
