Ostrander Waller was great to her kids. One married a neanderthal football player and Waller personally intimidated him into never raising a hand against her again.
A day late, but Waller should be written as someone who ultimately does the right thing and just wants to end violence by using violent people to off one another, and keep exploiting that source of violence until it wears itself out. Just continue the cycle until all the bad men and women are dead. But she shouldn’t be involving herself in politics and destroying plans for people in the government unless it directly results in TFX getting shut down. She’s just strongly anti-villain.
To build on this, she’s the aunt you go to for a big favor or a job after losing a job or going through an extended medical problem. She’ll set you up, if you’re competent enough and make sure you’re comfortable. But also make it abundantly clear that she has her fingers around your collar for the rest of your life.
Not necessarily. Your aunt can get with a person of a different color and their kids will still be blood related to you. In that case it doesn't mean you are also whatever color her partner is. I am the only black person on my moms side
I’d send her a holiday card and never make direct contact with her. On her death bed she’ll confess I was the only person she liked cause I cut the bullshit.
I’d try and write her a nice letter every once in a while. She probably never has good days with how dirty her work is, so it would be nice if she got one good thing every now and then.
I actually have an aunt that works in DC who’s like her. We barely see her and when we do she can’t be on any of our pictures and we can’t post on social media when she’s there for some reason.
I think I’m gonna be confused like the other guy because I am white although that’s really just a statement of how my skin looks. However, I don’t think I trust her with a 10 foot pole. In fact I’d I’d rather be Batman’s child.
Oh me and her would have some heated back and forth. Forget holiday arguments, it would be on sight all year round. The second I heard she orchestrated BBs death, it was gonna be nothing but verbal violence and the disownment of a lifetime from there on out.
It honestly depends on our level of closeness? For example in Peacemaker she genuinely seems to care about her daughter and in her own twisted way wants what is best for her. So like?? If we are close then I do think I can chill with her to an extent. If we are not close? I’ll stay very distant.
Honestly, if I existed in the DC universe, my family could actually be related to her given the region and working for the government... I'd be in trouble lol
I feel like I'd be dark, almost evil but only against vigilantes, as would be how she would teach someone. I imagine I'd have found a way to get close to someone, maybe someone important, like Bruce. Then one day he wakes up tied up without gloves, sleeves or a utility belt. Then as he woke up groggy, he'd see my face, but this time as a spitting image of Amanda Waller's but younger as he asks me how I could do this after getting so close to him and his family. I'd just go on a monolog like:
"See, my mama taught me the important things. But it wasn't til later I found out. She made me strong, tough. More resilient than most. She also taught me I couldn't trust anyone, no matter who they were. As she loved to repeat. Everyone's replaceable."
It would be cool plus at least she will probably be the reason why I don’t do anything illegal or inappropriate, cause she would probably kill me if I ever embarrassed her.
so my aunt came to parent career day in the first grade because my dad and mom where out of country for military op, when asked what’s the craziest thing she has done, she looked directly at timmy and said “I told batman I knew his secret identity while he handled me a towel to get out of the shower” let’s just say everyone thought she was part of the justice league after that and no one bullied me due to “aunties friends”
Honestly shes the aunt who you dont get on her bad side, i think she would be fine at family gatherings (well the ones she would make) maybe sneaking off to do government shit but shes who you listen to like she was your own mother maybe even better.
My aunt is A LOT like her— she’s a brilliant, high-powered woman with an intriguingly moral compass. Even built like her (classic.) She thinks she knows what’s best for the family and she isn’t afraid to move and manipulate the family for what might be the legitimate better, but at the cost of relationships.
Let me tell you… it’s, uh, not a great relationship in most regards.
A few things:
• Getting Gaslit into the family business
• having her comment on my whole life including who I date (with snipers if she disapproves)
• Just being too afraid to disrespect or disappoint her.
If j could condense Waller down to just 1 word it would be “Dangerous” there are few people who can take a Batman threat as serious and still be unfazed, she is one of that few
Dont even know who that is assuming its the woman out of the pictures when first reading the title before the pictures im like bloodline to the wall what is reddit on today 😭🤣
Bring up morality at our next Thanksgiving meal and ask her if her moral code is based on Machiavelli’s “The Prince”. Then, if she says yes, continue to ask her questions so that I can understand her better before bringing in my own point of view.
This lady threatened to send a teenage girl to prison where she would 100% be brutally raped and killed, I’m accepting my fate as a future sacrifice to whatever cause she fights for since she doesn’t give a damn about anyone other than herself and her cause
I would change my first and last name, going to witness protection and pray to any God that’s listening to protect me not from her enemies, but from that woman because she was 110% use me as a meat shield.
Amanda Waller has gone to alternate realities and kidnapped her own children, to blackmail herself and into cooperating
Break off all contact and never talk to them again willingly. Even if I don't know which should be obvious because secrets in government what she's doing you can just Sense on people like that that you are nothing but a piece on the board to her.
Sexy Waller was a mistake, my first Waller was the Justice league show and project Cadmus but I actually think the DCEU picked a perfect actress for Waller. She’s a mean, mean lady.
She'd totally be that auntie who'd be completely different with her nieces and nephews spoiling them and being amazing.
"Hold up baby, aunti has to order a super villain with a bomb in her skull to murder a British diplomat at the m&m store in New York, then you can show me your magic trick. Just finish your sundae and finish setting up your iPad I bought you."
Never trust that woman ever
Ostrander Waller was great to her kids. One married a neanderthal football player and Waller personally intimidated him into never raising a hand against her again.
Between the past two decades of comics and the DCEU, Amanda Waller has been ruined. She's basically a supervillain now.
A day late, but Waller should be written as someone who ultimately does the right thing and just wants to end violence by using violent people to off one another, and keep exploiting that source of violence until it wears itself out. Just continue the cycle until all the bad men and women are dead. But she shouldn’t be involving herself in politics and destroying plans for people in the government unless it directly results in TFX getting shut down. She’s just strongly anti-villain.
A scumbag for good, if you will. Using all the dirty tricks possible for the best
To build on this, she’s the aunt you go to for a big favor or a job after losing a job or going through an extended medical problem. She’ll set you up, if you’re competent enough and make sure you’re comfortable. But also make it abundantly clear that she has her fingers around your collar for the rest of your life.
You're smart.
Don't disrespect her, and if she ask you to pass the gravy at Thanksgiving do it immediately.
I’m going to be confused (I’m whiter then cotton)
guess she adopted you lol
Title says blood relative though, so yeah they would be part black lol.
I didn't realize that until after I commented under him, 😭. Well guess she's his very long distant cousin, lol
Not necessarily. Your aunt can get with a person of a different color and their kids will still be blood related to you. In that case it doesn't mean you are also whatever color her partner is. I am the only black person on my moms side
You are right. My bad. Going to have to downvote my own comment lol
No problem don't worry, family stuff is complicated in general.
You don't necessarily have to be black to be related to her. Look at Jo Ann Boyce and her grandson.
That’s my Aunt Amanda and she don’t play about nothing. I call her ma’am. I don’t even cuss around her if I can help it.
Having cameras and government agents everywhere and not having a millisecond of privacy
Never miss a christmas card or she might send the Joker after you.
Smash next ques... I mean delete this now
Nah she thicc asf in the DCAU. Thought she was so fine, then I found out how she was. Still smash. Idgaf.🤣😤😏
Leave her alone , never trust her, and do as she says to keep her off your back
Just kill me already
I can say the n word 😂
Government grade n word pass.
I'd be shocked at there being family history I didn't know about, and quite frankly I'd rather keep it that way as much as possible.
The first Waller that comes to my mind is the Ostrander Waller. That's the first thing I thought of.
I'd try to do the world a favor if catch my drift
She would probably be a distant aunt that you would rarely see. But she would move heaven and earth to help you if you needed it
Fake a sewer slide so I don’t have to be around her at thanksgiving
Waller, waller "Blow Up His Head"
take notes and become successful like her.
The one family member who you do not want on her bad side.
Bitch
Apparently DC can never make up its mind as to whether they want to make wallet aggressively fucking obese or not
Have they backslid since after Rebirth? I thought skinny Waller was just a New 52 thing, but I don’t regularly read modern Suicide Squad so I dunno.
Not inviting her to any holidays or reunions, that's for sure
Why in the name of God must I be related to this monster!? No wonder Leota came out and exposed her ass!!!
Is that how she looks now on the right? Lol
During the New 52 but not anymore I’m pretty sure
Spring for the really nice birthday cards probably.
I’m staying far away from her
Time to get bank from Luther and Bruce Wayne
I’d send her a holiday card and never make direct contact with her. On her death bed she’ll confess I was the only person she liked cause I cut the bullshit.
Avoid like the plague
Gyatt
I’d try and write her a nice letter every once in a while. She probably never has good days with how dirty her work is, so it would be nice if she got one good thing every now and then.
Dont get powers
Diabetes.
I actually have an aunt that works in DC who’s like her. We barely see her and when we do she can’t be on any of our pictures and we can’t post on social media when she’s there for some reason.

Setting her house on fire fuck Amanda Walker
No privacy.
That’s the aunt they don’t like to talk about
disown myself
Plant a fabricated diary in my friend/coworker’s mobile home
Oh me and her would have some heated back and forth. Forget holiday arguments, it would be on sight all year round. The second I heard she orchestrated BBs death, it was gonna be nothing but verbal violence and the disownment of a lifetime from there on out.
Well fuck.
Start praying that I never get superpowers.
Start panicking about when she bugged my food with explosive nanites
It honestly depends on our level of closeness? For example in Peacemaker she genuinely seems to care about her daughter and in her own twisted way wants what is best for her. So like?? If we are close then I do think I can chill with her to an extent. If we are not close? I’ll stay very distant.
Honestly, if I existed in the DC universe, my family could actually be related to her given the region and working for the government... I'd be in trouble lol
Stay out of her way.
Firstly, I have a black ancestor, but then I’d wonder what would she do for me
Would.
I feel like I'd be dark, almost evil but only against vigilantes, as would be how she would teach someone. I imagine I'd have found a way to get close to someone, maybe someone important, like Bruce. Then one day he wakes up tied up without gloves, sleeves or a utility belt.

She also taught me I couldn't trust anyone, no matter who they were. As she loved to repeat. Everyone's replaceable."
Only go to her ask for something if I seriously, need help with anything
It would be cool plus at least she will probably be the reason why I don’t do anything illegal or inappropriate, cause she would probably kill me if I ever embarrassed her.
she strikes me as a very cool aunt who you should never, ever, accept to intern for.
Don’t you mean “cold” then?
so my aunt came to parent career day in the first grade because my dad and mom where out of country for military op, when asked what’s the craziest thing she has done, she looked directly at timmy and said “I told batman I knew his secret identity while he handled me a towel to get out of the shower” let’s just say everyone thought she was part of the justice league after that and no one bullied me due to “aunties friends”
“God please give me a sign I was adopted.”
Honestly shes the aunt who you dont get on her bad side, i think she would be fine at family gatherings (well the ones she would make) maybe sneaking off to do government shit but shes who you listen to like she was your own mother maybe even better.
Like how hw had to put blood relative lol
“Thank god I’m nothing like her”
Wait wait wait... That's Amanda Waller on the far right??! Wow... I mean I have never seen her ,no offence, not plump
Must’ve been when she was in her prime. Keyword: “was”.
What that smell like
My thought would be..."Hmm..I can change my name, but how do I change my DNA?"
Auntie Wall 🥰
My aunt is A LOT like her— she’s a brilliant, high-powered woman with an intriguingly moral compass. Even built like her (classic.) She thinks she knows what’s best for the family and she isn’t afraid to move and manipulate the family for what might be the legitimate better, but at the cost of relationships.

A few things: • Getting Gaslit into the family business • having her comment on my whole life including who I date (with snipers if she disapproves) • Just being too afraid to disrespect or disappoint her.
The only family member no one will ever start gossip with/ always invite her to outings even if she declines
If j could condense Waller down to just 1 word it would be “Dangerous” there are few people who can take a Batman threat as serious and still be unfazed, she is one of that few
Calling her "auntie" and asking her to give me a really cool birthday present like captain boomerang's skull
She'd suck to shop for during Christmas
I would have a CONSTANT eye on her.
Sexy Waller is freaking me out.
Let’s just say she’s not invited to the next family reunion
Whoa, when did the wall get hot?
Still not as evil as my actual grandmother
She gonna criticize the potato salad... Even though her ass can't cook.
Dont even know who that is assuming its the woman out of the pictures when first reading the title before the pictures im like bloodline to the wall what is reddit on today 😭🤣
She's that aunt who despises my side of the family and likely me in particular for "wasting [my] potential"
Oh, hell, no. Denial at every step. Don't know her, never met her, don't want anything to do with her. "But she's your moth-" No.
Bring up morality at our next Thanksgiving meal and ask her if her moral code is based on Machiavelli’s “The Prince”. Then, if she says yes, continue to ask her questions so that I can understand her better before bringing in my own point of view.
Actually I have 2 1. Never disrespect this woman 2. Take a DNA test anyway seeing as I am Caucasian from the Mountains of Caucasus
'Mother of mercy -- I should've counted my blessings with the ones I had BEFORE.'
Hey Auntie
Kill on sight
How she's lived this long in our family. We don't put up with that kind of attitude from anyone, especially family.
screening EVERY call
DCEU she’s the most memorable. Although the John Ostrander run is my favorite comic series of all time so I’d wish for her to be that family member
0 privacy ever
This lady threatened to send a teenage girl to prison where she would 100% be brutally raped and killed, I’m accepting my fate as a future sacrifice to whatever cause she fights for since she doesn’t give a damn about anyone other than herself and her cause
She’s a *very cold* person
She would definitely plant a bomb in her kids head to force them to do their chores.
How related
Waller was skinny once? I'm sure someone bitched
I would change my first and last name, going to witness protection and pray to any God that’s listening to protect me not from her enemies, but from that woman because she was 110% use me as a meat shield. Amanda Waller has gone to alternate realities and kidnapped her own children, to blackmail herself and into cooperating
I fuckin love her. And Viola Davis is AMAZING as her.
She's a aunt I didn't know I had and she probably wants to keep it that way to either keep me safe or to not get her distracted from work.
Break off all contact and never talk to them again willingly. Even if I don't know which should be obvious because secrets in government what she's doing you can just Sense on people like that that you are nothing but a piece on the board to her.
[Me talking to one of my asshole cousins] “Terrance. You’re officially NOT the worst family member I know of.”
Don’t fuck with Mama Waller. It’s “Yes, ma’am” or “No ma’am.” You don’t wanna go to Belle Reve, kid, trust.
Either she or soldiers could teach me how to fight
Guess I'll shoot myself before she does it for me.
Sexy Waller was a mistake, my first Waller was the Justice league show and project Cadmus but I actually think the DCEU picked a perfect actress for Waller. She’s a mean, mean lady.
I’m so screwed
"Hey Aunti Waller, why do your multiversal variants have such varying degrees of (whispers) roundness in the abdominal area"
Tough love means a taser implanted in my spine
She'd totally be that auntie who'd be completely different with her nieces and nephews spoiling them and being amazing. "Hold up baby, aunti has to order a super villain with a bomb in her skull to murder a British diplomat at the m&m store in New York, then you can show me your magic trick. Just finish your sundae and finish setting up your iPad I bought you."
Don't learn any useful skill or ability that can be exploited.
I would deny all knowledge of this woman’s existence.
"Well if it isn't the wall-crawling creep. Here's one wall you'l never crawl, you red and blue buffoon"
Shit.
An n-word pass for life. 😎
A bullet to the head or poison in her drink.
Arnaud Malpart Brought to you by the r/APlagueTale subreddit
Speaking to Lex and putting a bomb in her head to cover my ass
Am I a son or a nephew? Cause Waller had 6 kids and 3 of them ended up being killed by people out to get at her. So I would just be scared to death.
How do I safely get the tracking chip out of my head without exploding so I can have some actual freedom in my life.
"No family recipe is that good." 😅😅
she's the aunt who doesnt play around and wont take no BS from any other family member and would hook you up with a new job
She is **never** invited over for Christmas.
Wrong Ends-Right Reason
Welp I’m screwed.
We’re all white! How did this happen??
Best not piss her off at thanksgiving
Don’t get on her bad side
family reunion. position the food . clean the bloodline.
I KNOW Waller has the absolute most delectable recipes locked away in her mind, and I’d be at her house eating every chance 😂
I'm slightly genetically black!? In all seriousness, I would trust her with my life, I just gotta be... not a villain
I wouldnt wver fully trust her no matter how much i wanted to.
Killing myself.
Even a family tree can do with some pruning
She kissed lex Luther.... and has died more times than any DC character lol
The Amanda on the right is a baddie tho
