The current Wonder Woman series from Tom King and Daniel Sampere has seen the US Government go up against the Amazons and Amazonian population of the USA.

With Sergent Steel's AXE shock force detaining or killing around three hundred Amazons on US soil.

While in today's Birds Of Prey #2, the new Birds plan a heist on Paradise Island just while all this is going on.

Which might have led to some confusion with Zealot.

And with Harley Quinn.

Seriously, people, no one on the team is planning to kill any Amazons. I mean, not intentionally, anyway…

…and certainly not when they have these magical simulacra to distract them.
