Of the 3 significant female characters (Rose Wilson, Superwoman, & Wonder Woman), Superwoman & Wonder Woman do interact in two different scenes, but I don't think their interaction is sufficient to qualify as talking to each other.

In the first interaction, a captive Superwoman threatens to kill Wonder Woman (after she kills Batman, so what little there is to that is partly about a man), and Wonder Woman responds by knocking her unconscious and then making a quip to her teammates after Superwoman has been knocked out.

In the second interaction, the two are fighting and Wonder Woman orders Superwoman to surrender.

And that's it. There's no actual exchange of talk. Just two separate scenes with one-way dialogue. I could see someone interpreting it as maybe getting one notch higher (with "after Batman" in the threat keeping it from passing), but it would at least be dubious, and I think it falls short.
