Hiding at the Gotham Museum Gala version 2 fanart
- Well, I really like the composition of this piece and I would have been sorry if it had been left out of the collection here so I made this version.
In 1963, when Elizabeth Taylor was cast to play Cleopatra, there were cries of 'cultural appropriation' and some even said that the role should have gone to an Arab actress, not a Jewish one. Fast forward sixty years and with Gal Gadot set to take the role, we are hearing the same old rubbish all over again, only this time with the addition of cries of 'whitewashing.' So let's get a couple of things straight. Firstly Cleopatra was not an 'Arab', she was a Macedonian (Greek descent). Secondly, as a Judean, Gal is more than qualified to take the role - her ancestors were held as slaves in Egypt over 3,000 years ago.
Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to see Diana find her way home, even with the help of the others, after the events of ZSJL. (Knowing Bruce and the others if anyone they would have probably found a way with Diana to get back to the island.)
I wonder how the amazons would have received Diana's fellow warriors on the island and Bruce who is the most ordinary out of them yet a crucial member of the team. Surely he would have been tested by the amazons to see if he was worthy to set foot on the island and he would have proved it in the end for sure.
As Diana was an only child there, she must have had many hiding places, so I imagine this place as one of her favorite childhood hideaways where she often spent time painting on the walls what she saw and experienced on Themyscira.
I wish we could have seen them together in this paradise (or just Diana getting back to see her mother is still alive).
