Sorry forgot about how supes was close enough to the sun for it to count. I wasn't trying to improperly read your statement just forgot a detail.
And I see where *you* are coming from: Diana doesn't speak in hyperbole -- it's a facet of her character. While she will joke or make humorous statements, she - as a character - doesn't exaggerate or distort things, and that is how she has been written for the past 25 years. She deals in true assessments of things. For example: While Superman may have been speaking somewhat hyperbolically when he said the Cheetah hits like WW or Captain Marvel (as he did during the aforementioned battle with Circe) -- and that wasn't a big stretch -- when Diana makes such a statement, her *character* is written as being free of hyperbole, because she perceives and understands *Truth* on a level few others readily comprehend -- and, more importantly, that is *how* she is written. If she, as a character, makes an assessment-statement that Zoom hits harder than Superman, then that is the case; and as she said, *she should know*. As she has fought with Superman on several occasions, and then fought with Zoom, her statement would not be hyperbolic, in anycase. Now, the Flash making that statement *would* be hyperbolic, as he doesn't have the durability/ relative combat interaction with each to accurately make such a statement and have it be true. Diana, however, does.
EDIT: Read your other post. I am officially getting out of this debate, as it is a case of "With some people, if they don't know - you can't tell'em..." Already covered what you posted in my other posts. You don't get it. That's fine. Moving on...
