Things that happened during Midsummer rehearsal.

Hippolyta was told to act like Melania at the top of show because she is confused and not sure why she is there or and what she was doing.

The people in Act I Scene I are told to be wary of the interaction between Theseus and Hippolyta as Trump and Kim Jung Un. “Is this going to be successful or cause WWW III”

“Pyramus arose!”

Okay so I recently got an ask about Diana and Donna’s relationship, but I would like to clear up a few things about Donna’s early history in a separate post before jumping into all of that.

I see a lot of people grouping Donna and Diana’s relationship alongside Bruce/Dick, Ollie/Roy, Barry/Wally, and Arthur/Garth when it really doesn’t apply.

Donna and Diana’s relationship and history is drastically different from any other mentor/mentee (including Diana/Cassie) in comics, mostly due to Donna’s creation as a character.

Despite the title “Wonder Girl,” Donna was never Wonder Woman’s sidekick, while Dick, Wally, Roy, and Garth, were created for that reason. Even in the retconned versions Donna never really worked with Diana until after her time as Wonder Girl was over. Why is this? This is where it gets complicated.

Donna Troy was a mistake. When creating Teen Titans back in 1966, the writers were looking at teen heroes being published at the time. Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash had already teamed up for some issues of The Brave and the Bold, and I think they wanted to diversify the group with a girl. And they saw the character Wonder Girl being published in the Wonder Woman title!

However, Wonder Girl was originally published as part of a series about Diana’s adventures as a teenager, so she wasn’t exactly a new character. She wasn’t Donna Troy.

Somewhere along the way however, Wonder Girl (and Wonder Tot too) started fighting alongside Diana and started being referred to as separate characters from Wonder Woman. But there was no explanation as to whom exactly they were.

So when they published Teen Titans, they accidentally created a new character. Eventually, they realized this and gave her a name and a backstory - Donna Troy!
