Something that bothers me about the movie Wonder Woman

In another post, I made this comment about the film:

She's a killer. Most DC Comic heroes don't kill people. Batman never used a gun. Superman wouldn't kill someone. The Flash would just daze criminals with his speed.

But, in the movie, Wonder Woman is a killing machine. Granted, she's fighting bad guys and bad "gods/forces."

It's still an odd way to make an "empowering" statement.

Lame. 'Wonder Woman' was an awesome movie, and she was an amazing heroine in it. A few points:
1. She was an Amazon, a tribe of WARRIOR WOMEN! Something tells me they wouldn't have as much of a problem with killing.
2. She killed people, all soldiers, in the interest of saving the lives of untold millions if not billions of innocent civilians.
3. In the two Michael Keaton 'Batman' movies, we see Batman kill several people (In the first film, he killed the Joker, and most of the Joker's henchmen in the final battle in the bell tower he caused to fall to certain death; In 'Batman Returns,' during one of Batman's fights with the Penguin's circus henchmen, he deliberately killed the circus Strongman by attaching a bomb to him and dropping him in a manhole, and unless the Fire Breather from earlier in that movie made a miraculous recovery after Batman deliberately blasted him with the Batmobile's exhaust flame, that would be another deliberate kill to chalk up to Batman).
4. In 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,' we see Batman putting a kind of bat- brand on the worst scum he catches, and when said scum enter prison, having that brand is basically a death sentence. Surely Batman eventually came to realize this, yet he kept putting the brands on anyway. That's not much better than openly killing them.

Someone needs to tell DUmmy trueblue2007 a couple of things....

1. Wonder Woman takes place in World War 1. Nazis didn't exist till the 1930's.

2. The Avengers are a Marvel property, not DC like Wonder Woman.
