Which DC Universe?

As with a lot of my fiction, I'm using sort of a composite DC universe. This one is far more vested in the 'Prime Earth' of post-Infinite Crisis/Pre-New 52 than others, though in the back of my head the Flash is Wally West (is there also Barry Allen, with Wally sticking to Keystone and Barry sticking to Central City? I'm not sure).

The story itself is set in Keystone City, as stated elsewhere.

Diana is very much in the 'Diana of Themyscira' mold between the Perez Post-Crisis reintroduction of the Amazing Amazon and the New 52. One area I'm drawing heavily on is Diana's time as the 'Goddess of Truth,' which in this interpretation she always remains -- it's just she returns to 'pre-divine' levels of power.

Obviously, as far as Diana's definitions go, I'm starting all the way back with William Moulton Marston's original definitions and then using the refinements over the decades. I wanted to have a Wonder Woman whose Amazon sisters 'enjoyed binding games' and then give reasons for Diana's potential weakness(es) while explaining why they weren't so easy to invoke. And I wanted to give some context for the subtext of bondage that is as much Diana's birthright as her everlasting youth... and take it out of the negative connotations that have developed over time.

At the same time, self-discovery is painful, especially when you have no choice. There had to be ups and downs.
