For those who have ever pondered whether Wonder Woman may have hooked up with ladies during her time in the Amazon, the answer is “obviously yes.”
But as Greg Rucka, the current author of DC’s Wonder Woman: Year One explained, it's complicated.
Wonder Woman a.k.a. Diana Prince is an Amazonian as comic book fans already know and her home of Themyscira is a fictional paradise island populated solely by women. So when Rucka was asked about whether she's had relationships with women, he told Comicosity:
"The answer is obviously yes."
In the comics, the first man Wonder Woman meets is Steve Trevor, who accidentally washes up on the shores of her all-female paradise island. Trevor needs help on earth which prompts Diana to leave her home behind, and this, Rucka explained is why it's important the heroine not be labelled in one way.
"Are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women? ...The answer is obviously yes," he said.
"And it needs to be yes for a number of reasons. But perhaps foremost among them is, if no, then she leaves paradise only because of a potential romantic relationship with Steve. And that diminishes her character. It would hurt the character and take away her heroism."
Wonder Woman is not the first of DC's women to come out. The comic book giant confirmed last year that Catwoman was bisexual and Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie in this year's Suicide Squad film also had a relationship with fellow villainess Poison Ivy.
It is unknown whether the heroine’s sexuality will be explored in the film Wonder Woman, featuring Gal Gadot as the Amazonian princess and Chris Pine, which is set to hit the big screen in 2017. However, it’s no secret among fans that the character is queer, even if she doesn’t see it that way, said Rucka.

Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot is open to the character having same sex relationships on screen.
Greg Rucka, a long-time writer on the Wonder Woman comic books recently said he believed the character would have had all-female relationships due to her mythic homeland Themyscira, being entirely populated by women.
And Gal, 31, says she also believes her version of the character could be bisexual.
"She's a woman who loves people for who they are," the Israeli star tells Variety magazine. "She can be bisexual. She loves people for their hearts."
However the star says Wonder Woman, nor her alter ego Diana Prince, will get intimate with a woman in next year's standalone movie.
"It's not something we've explored," she explains. "It never came to the table, but when you talk theoretically about all the women on Themyscira and how many years she was there, then what he said makes sense. In this movie she does not experience any bisexual relationships."
The new movie, which will tell Wonder Woman's origin story and features Star Trek actor Chris Pine as her love interest, male fighter pilot Steve Trevor, is to be directed by a female filmmaker, Patty Jenkins.
And Gal feels Patty's gender might make it easier to tell the story of the Amazonian princess turned superhero.
"Maybe because we're telling a story of a girl growing up and becoming a woman, it's easier for it to be told by someone who was once a girl and became a woman," she says.
"I feel like Patty Jenkins was the right person for the movie because she was the right person for the movie. She knew exactly how she wanted to tell her story. She knew exactly what she wanted to get. She's brilliant and smart and so passionate."
Wonder Woman is scheduled for release in June 2017, with the character also teaming up with Henry Cavill's Superman and Ben Affleck's Batman in Justice League, due out next November.
