Another example of how the bullets aren't meant to harm though 👆
Based on what? Do you have any evidence to support this or was there any indication given that they have some special piercing properties?
Lol? So we just get to ignore pretty much any evidence that doesn't sit well with you? The bullets seem to be just that, bullets.
No one is saying that the bullets are meant to kill their targets, that's clearly not the case. However, we're discussing the bracer's stopping power and how they relate to Eros' guns and it is very clear that they are superior to the bracers and Diana's armor:
Again, Eros' bullets prove that sufficiently powerful force/magic/whatever can penetrate Diana's defenses. That doesn't mean that it's easy. After all, they stopped Darkseid's Omega Beams. Of course, he was also hurt by Wonder Woman's sword which was easily broken by Katanna and Atlantean weaponry that can't withstand hot water so you know, it's all relative to a certain level.

I think the only thing these scenes prove is that the writers at DC aren't on the same page and you can basically flip a coin as to how powerful she is going to be in any given story. It's pretty crappy writing if you ask me. The bracers stop the Omega Beams, but not Eros' bullets? Katana can break the sword, but it's powerful enough to hurt Darkseid? These are horrible inconsistencies. I think it's pretty pointless to try to argue anything about Nu52 Diana when she is written so differently in her own book. *shrug*
I am on my Proxima buzz after the conclusion of infinity. Although her performance was impressive in the final showdown, I still have a hard time giving her the majority. Prior to infinity #6 I had the presumption that proxima's spear had special properties that could potentially move through objects via matter manipulation. But Cap negated this assumption with his shield. So if cap can deflect her spear then Diana's bracers should have the capacity to replicate that feat possibly neutralizing Proxima's main offensive tool. And if Diana closes the distance I can definately see her winning in a pure hand to hand bout due to her combat finesse and technicality. Ill give a very slight edge to Diana. Proxima is still amazing though.
