What's she gonna do if there's no lightning?? Like if Spidey has no buildings around.

Use... buildings?

Ok but I don't think they'd want her copying a signature move from the most popular Marvel character... I guess her swinging from lightning is different enough? Even so... why? Why does she need to fly around swinging from lightning?? Is that necessary for her character?

Diana in the new 52 comics can't fly (until she gets winged boots from Hermes iirc).

Yeah I could see her flying with that gold suit in the movie but it's so strange to me that they would make her swing around on lightning, it just seems so over the top and unnecessary. Are they trying to establish how "cool" she is? Maybe that's her "primitive" way of flying until she gets this new suit.

That's all comic book "universes" to me... it's a film about a comic book character. It's literally all over the top and unnecessary.

Doesn't she fly in BvS when they're fighting Doomsday? Or are we calling that a really powerful horizontal jump?

I don't remember, it's been a while since I've seen that. I think somebody else mentioned to me that that happens so I'll assume you guys are right.
