I took that as she thought she couldn't withstand the shockwaves of the blows. She probably didn't think they'd break, she just thought the impact would be a problem even without them breaking, and the panel does show a heavy shockwave coming out, and when they aren't crossed, that stuff'll travel around the bracers.
No "if, but or probably". Also what shockwave or "not crossed bracers"? She is blocking the hits with blocked bracers and he would've still killed her in two more double handed strikes. Remember, she is the avatar of truth and literally can't lie.
That was in an alternate timeline, and their performance was visibly lacking considering they've taken hits from full-strength no-hold back Superman, and the 'grief and rage given form Doomsday style' Superman (heck, mainWW's flesh took the hits from full-power Supes better than that timeline's bracers did!). Plus all the bigger stuff they've tanked without problem.Not under the same writer. Different writers have different opinions about them.
A lot of alt-timelines have weaker WWs for some reason (Wagner's Trinity had the breakable-lasso, for example).That wasn't an alternate timeline. By that standard Mark Waid's JLA was an alt timeline too since a henchman of QOF broke the lasso like a twig. I know you hate that comic but it doesn't makes it non canon.
The two are separate artifacts, so one can be altered without the other.True, but there is only one pair of silver bracelets of victory and it was given to her at the same time as the lasso of truth because she is the only amazon who wasn't conquered by a man. Other amazons wear dark metallic bracers.
She might've had generic Amazonian bracers like Donna Troy and her mother have, as opposed to the Aegis Shield of Zeus reworked into bracer form.Might've. There is no indication that it was a generic amazonian bracers, quite the opposite.
It'd still be a fairly low-showing for generic bracers, but obviously the normal enchanted ones can't claim the kind of stuff that the Aegis ones can, so it wouldn't be crazy-low.[quote] Hahaha, the arrows from Prometheus have damaged donna's bracers.Ares broke the aegis shield too once.[quote]Btw, Cronus was a big villain in one of her arcs and her bracers didn't break then. So even for him it's no easy task! And/or the reforming possibly strengthened them.
