I agree; DC's pantheon can still be fun without losing their iconic status or devolving into Adam West style camp. Putting these kinds of characters in situations other than the usual "fight the big bad, save the city/world" helps define who they are as people.

I think there was a Wonder Woman storyline in the 1990s where she was a freedom-fighting space pirate for a short time.
