Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia, first published in 2002, is a one-shot graphic novel by writer Greg Ruckanote His first work on the character and artist J.G. Jones. When a young woman called Danielle "Danny" Wellys comes to Wonder Woman's doorstep and invokes the ancient ritual of the Hiketeia, Diana finds herself honor-bound to eternally protect and care for her by the ancient tradition. Watched over and warned by The Erinyesnote a.k.a. The Furies of Classical Mythology should she fail to uphold the ritual, Diana soon finds herself in a no-win scenario as her oath and sense of compassion brings her into conflict with Batman, who looks to bring Danielle to justice over the events that brought her to Diana in the first place.Greg Rucka would soon go one to write the main Wonder Woman book in the following year. | |

Fangirl: Danny was this of Diana when she was younger. It's also why the Erinyes singled her out and informed her of her sister's fate as they it would drive her to seek Diana for protection and thus bring her into conflict with the authorities going after her. | |

Hero Antagonist: Batman is this in the context of the story. He does ultimately just want to bring in Danny for her multiple counts of murder but is shown as largely unsympathetic/uncaring for the reasons that drove her to it in the fist place. He also is agitated that she's already gotten away from him twice. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Diana's Eagle-themed Golden Armor from Kingdom Come can be seen on display in a room in the Themysciran embassy. As well as an outfit reminiscent of her Golden Age-skirted costume. A panel shows Batman swinging across the night sky in shadows with lighting striking behind him that evokes the iconic cover of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. The Erinyes mockingly make reference to Diana having "Hermes' speed, Athena's wisdom...". In addition to being the source of her powers in the Post-Crisis continuity, this is also a portion of Diana’s descriptor commonly used in the Golden Age.note "Beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, swifter than Hermes, and stronger than Hercules." The Dominatrix-imagery of the cover with Diana's boot on Bruce's head is one to her creator, William Moulton Marston. BDSM being something Marston practiced in his private life and which heavily influenced his psychological theories and his Wonder Woman comics. | |

Wolverine Publicity: Despite his prominence on the cover, only Diana's boot is shown, Batman's actual page count in the book is rather small. We never get any POV narration from him, so his thoughts on the matter are rather unknown. | |

Batman Gambit: The Trope Namer himself tries on Diana but it gets him a boot to the face. More specifically, he tried to invoke the Hiketeia ritual and have Diana become his protector so she couldn't stop him from taking Danny. Diana then reminds him that she has the right to refuse and proceeds with said boot to the face. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (Comic Book) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Batman is on the receiving end of two of these in his attempts to bring Danny to the authorities. In his first confrontation with Wonder Woman over taking Danielle to the authorities, Diana sends him flying across the street with one punch for his troubles after trying to barge into her house. He fares a little better in his second one but as the book cover/page image indicates, it doesn't end well for him there either. Diana is also on the receiving end of a minor one courtesy of The Erinyes. When they first show she appears before them giving them a warning not come for Danny but they quickly toss her to the ground using just their snake hair. | |

Loose Canon: This was Rucka's first gig at writing Wonder Woman and so while this story wouldn't be referenced again, it introduced some stuff that would be later picked up on when he took over writing the main book in the following year (mainly Diana acting out of the Themysciran Embassy). Making it debatable over whether this is in continuity or not with the then-current Wonder Woman book. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
| Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (Comic Book) / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Played for tragedy. When Danielle arrives and begs Diana for protection via the Hiketeia, Diana doesn't asks Danielle for her reasons (she thinks it's best to allow Danielle to reveal it whenever she feels ready). Of course, when Batman arrives and tells Diana about Danielle's crimes and she is forced to kick Batman out for trying to take Danielle, Danielle notices that Diana feels like she's been set up for this and (in tears and even smashing the glass covering the Lasso of Truth and binding her arms with it) tells Diana that she should have asked earlier and pleads her to do so now and just get it over with. | |

Diana ends the story commenting on the coldness and harshness of Man's World compared to life growing up on Themyscira. | |

Superdickery: The provocative cover of Wonder Woman's boot on Batman's head, evoking Dominatrix-like imagery, certainly suggests this. In the actual story, this is the end result of a rather Jerkass Batman on the losing end of a fight after ignoring several of Diana's warnings/pleas not to push his luck. | |

Sacred Hospitality: What the titular Hiketeia ritual essentially is. A potential supplicant comes before and prostates themselves towards an individual pleading for protection and hospitality. If they accept, the supplicant comes under their protection and hospitality. The only real power the supplicant actually retains in the relationship is only they can discharge their benefactor from their oath. If their benefactor fails to protect them or recants on their oath without being discharged, they incite the wrath of the Erinyes upon them. Notably, while stated to rare or unthinkable, a person can refuse to accept Hiketeia if they so chose.Batman himself tries to invoke the Hiketeia so that Diana wouldn't be able to stop him from taking Danielle without breaking her oath, but she informs of this fact and gets a kick in the head for his troubles. It only applies once she accepts it in the first place, as she did with Danny. | |

Trauma Conga Line: What happens to Melody, Danielle's sister. She originally went to Gotham looking to become an actress that almost immediately turned into taking risque photos for the man who originally put out the Wanted ad she answered as she had no money, following that she she was drugged and raped in her sleep. Using the photos as blackmail, this quickly led to her being forced into becoming a porn star and getting physically abused often to keep her in-line. When her value there was deemed dried up, she was sold off into prostitution where all her earnings went to her pimp. All throughout this becoming addicted to drugs that ultimately kills her. | |

But hooker's sister tries to get justice? Batman hunts her down with a zeal usually reserved only for people like the Joker, especially because Danielle got lucky enough to get away from him twice, and he's taking it personal. | |

Batman, from his POV, even more so as he fails to bring Danielle to the authorities for her murders and only got two NoHoldsBarredBeatdowns from his friend to show for it. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (Comic Book) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Batman tries to create one by invoking the Hiketeia on himself — the rules of Hiketeia, he assumes, do not prevent one of the protected people from hurting another (well, dragging them to jail in his case) but would prevent the protector from doing anything to prevent it because they are both under their protection. Diana points out the obvious problem with that Batman Gambit (namely, that she would accept placing Bruce under Hiketeia to begin with) and refuses. | |

Xanatos Gambit | |
| Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (Comic Book) / int_c32ff031 | comment |
Xanatos Gambit: The Erinyes set things into motion that any of the potential outcomes where to their benefit/amusement: Them pushing Danny into seeking out and killing the men responsible is what put her in the crosshairs of Batman and the Gotham PD and she didn't seek out Diana for protection, or if Diana refused the Hiketeia, she would have eventually been likely apprehended by Batman. Diana accepting the Hiketeia ritual then put her into a immediate collision course with Batman, and potentially the Gotham and NYPD. Thus inciting the wrath of the Erinyes should she fail to protect Danny. The end result also coming at their benefit as ultimately Batman and Wonder Woman come to blows only for neither of it to matter in the end as Danny commits suicide out of of a combination of fear and shame. | |

Let's You and Him Fight | |
| Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (Comic Book) / int_c3bdfbb9 | comment |
Let's You and Him Fight Thanks in part due the manipulations of the Erinyes, their conflicting morals in regards to the situation and Diana's obligations as part of the Hiketeia; Wonder Woman and Batman end up coming into physical confrontation twice in the story. Although calling it a "fight" is rather generous. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: At the encouragement of the Erinyes, this what Danny does to the four men most directly responsible for her sister's death. She's first introduced in the story at the tail-end of it actually, killing off the last one. | |

Dominatrix | |
| Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (Comic Book) / int_d177a22c | comment |
The Dominatrix-imagery of the cover with Diana's boot on Bruce's head is one to her creator, William Moulton Marston. BDSM being something Marston practiced in his private life and which heavily influenced his psychological theories and his Wonder Woman comics. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (Comic Book) / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: Melody's death in Gotham wasn't because of the latest scheme by the Joker or Riddler but rather a rapid descent of being blackmailed into forced prostitution and eventually dying via an OD on drugs her abusers got her addicted on in the first place. | |

Disposable Sex Worker | |
| Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia (Comic Book) / int_ecbf37ff | comment |
Disposable Sex Worker: The reason Danielle was accepting of the Erinyes' manipulations that cause all of this tragedy: her sister Melody was killed by some pimps, and a dead OD'ed hooker in Gotham City? Not only do the cops not care, but for all of Batman's relentless pursuit of Danielle for trying to get justice, it's quite notable that it's never shown if he tried to investigate himself. | |

Big Sister Instinct: Sadly deconstructed with Danielle as as her anger over the death of her sister Melody, courtesy of pimps and drug-dealers, is what leads her on her path of committing several murders Implied to be partly the motivation of Diana for her still wanting to watch over Danielle once she learns why she needs protection. Thinking how she would have acted had what happened to Melody happened to Donna or Cassie. | |
