Barbara is one of Diana's most frequent foes as "The Cheetah". Appearing as one of Diana's recurring villains in almost every adaptation of Diana. How close they are varies on the continuity, as some will have them be friends first, while others will have them always be enemies, although Cheetah is usually consistently portrayed as a sympathetic figure.

WonderCheetah had a decent, but smaller following among DC Comics fans. Although, the ship grew and gained more fans with Barbara being introduced into the DCEU. Many people reading Barbara and Diana's moments as romantic. Some even finding it more interesting than Diana's relationship with Steve. This has caused many to go back to their comic counterparts, and see how coded the two seem to be, and start shipping them there as well.

The ship is Diana's "Trinity x Biggest Villain" ship, otherwise known as a "Soulmate but for Nemesis'". Alongside Clex, for Clark, and BatJokes, for Bruce.

There is a minor part of the fandom that ships the two alongside GhostBat. Others compare them to Catradora, given that they're both ships between an extremely strong warrior woman, and cat woman. As well as comparing them to other well known rival ships, as that is what many see their main dynamic as.

DCEU fans saw chemistry from the first trailers of 1984, and were ready to see how the ship would go. Those that did, found that a lot of the writing could easily have made them romantic, and it wouldn't have had to change much about the movies. Especially given Barbara's reaction to Diana a good chunk of the time. Basically looking at her like she's a goddess (which she technically is), and commenting on how attractive she is. A few moments also make it seem like Diana is checking out Barbara as well. A lot of people also noticed that Diana and Barbara looked jealous of each other's love interests in the film. Diana especially as how aggressively she stepped in between Barbara and Maxwell Lord. The "former friend, now enemies" angle that the film props up almost as much as the comics do, is also extremely popular among shippers. Especially those that ship enemies, as it adds an extra layer to a dynamic that is already fun to play with.

Gal Gadot admitting that she and Kristen played the two as having romantic interest in each other, also added fuel to shippers.

On AO3, WonderCheetah is the most written ship for Barbara and the seventh most written for Diana. It is also the second most written ship in the Wonder Woman (Movies - Jenkins) tag.

Trivia[]

  • Barbara in the comics is portrayed as a dark parallel to Diana as Cheetah was cursed by the gods and was fuelled by relentless hatred, while Diana was blessed by the gods and is fuelled by never-ending passion.
  • In the comics, Diana responds to Barbara's proclaimed hatred of her with "Love can exist with hatred, each preying on each other." This quote was directly taken from a romance novel about Lancelot and Guinevere.
