Batman

Answer:

Bruce :: Wonder Woman : ___ : DIANA

Hint:

Think of the real names behind iconic DC superheroes—this one shares her first name with a Roman goddess of the hunt.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the real names of superhero alter egos. "Batman" is Bruce Wayne, so the first part gives you "Bruce ::". The second part mirrors that structure—just as Wonder Woman’s real name is Diana, the answer fills in the blank with "DIANA" to complete the parallel. It’s a simple analogy where the superhero’s code name pairs with their civilian identity.
