I could be wrong, but I always thought Starfire was taller than Wonder Woman, too... or maybe around the same height. I don't really recall seeing them in a comic together. Now I want this, haha

But I have to admit, I'm not as well versed in DC's comics past Titans and the Bat-family. Mostly what I know past those two franchises came from cartoons and movies.
I think there are other female characters taller than Starfire and shorter than Barda, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.
Isn't there, like, a female Mongol in the Superman books? And since Wildstorm is now DC, Caitlin Fairchild from Gen13 is pretty tall and muscular.

Haha, that could be the case. I'm starting to read some of the 2000s books I skipped when they came out and many of them have the guys and girls at traditional heights in comparison. And Wolverine really throws everything off as he can be as tall or taller than the girls and I shake my hands in frustration lol

Dauterman is amazing and has been such a great addition to the X-books. Proportions, design, attention to detail... everything is pitch perfect! I'm also super appreciative of the effort.

Exactly... happily on the first point and sadly on the second.
This is one of the reasons Lady D from RE8 was so refreshing and embraced. We're starved for multiple body types in entertainment and it's great to see this being embraced more.
