THE writer of the reborn Wonder Woman comics has revealed that the character is gay.

Greg Rucka has told Comicosity that since Wonder Woman comes from the fictional all-female island nation of Themyscira, she “has been in love and had relationships with other women”.

Rucka isn’t ruling out the potential for a romantic relationship with Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s love interest in previous incarnations of the character.

Wonder Woman returned to the big screen this year in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, played by Gal Gadot.

A stand-alone film starring Gadot, Robin Wright and Chris Pine is set to hit theatres in June of next year.

Fans on social media appear to have welcomed the news.

Erm Wonder Woman comes from an island where there are only women hadn't anyone done the math before yesterday?

I just found out some people are actually upset Wonder Woman is queer. As if - what - you're paranoid Wonder Woman might not date you?

Fine, gays, you can have Wonder Woman. Just keep your hands off the Cowboy in the Village People. He's my hetero ideal.
