What is a "Woke" Game

It definitely has woke tendencies.

Finished it recently.

The obvious one, it has a huge LGBTQ+ flag in the Hall of Justice which acts as your HQ so you'll be seeing it dozens of times:

The other thing that I noticed is that Wonder Woman, the only female Justice League member is also the only one that Braniac couldn't get under his control. (The typical a woman has to be stronger than a man trope)
And consequently that means it's the only JL character that you aren't going to kill. (I guess because if the player was to kill a woman in a video game it would be bad?) Definitely a weird coincidence.

This dates back to the 1950's comics. 

I'm not sure if there's actually a given reason for it, but people speculate that it's because her origin is that she was sculpted from clay and isn't a human; or it could've been one of her divine gifts. 

Weekly Wonder Woman: Sensation Comics #7, Superman Doomed #2 30 September 2014

"The goddess Wonder Woman is immune to both Brainiac’s mind tricks and the Phantom Zone so has gone into the zone to get help."

Could be. I'm definitely not that much into DC stuff other than Batman, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't really explained during the game so I felt it was weird how Braniac could get the fastest (Flash), the strongest (Superman) and the smartest (Batman) and for whatever Green Lantern is known for under his control but not her.

Not sure if that explains why he couldn't simply catch her though with the help of the others...
