Superman and Wonder Woman: The New DC Comics Power Couple
When Walter Hudson wrote about the new Superman movie he argued against a Lois Lane/Superman romance. But what about this?
via Superman and Wonder Woman are the Biggest Couple in Comics | Geekosystem.
For years, they’ve been dancing around it. Hiding their feelings. Calling it impractical. In 2012, Superman and Wonder Woman have stopped pretending, and are now the most super superhero couple in the DC universe. Starting in next week’s issue of Justice League, Superman and Wonder Woman will hook up and start dating.
The cover of the issue, Justice League #12, was revealed earlier this week in Entertainment Weekly, showing the couple’s ability to get high around each other. Do you think they’d notice if they flew into a bird, or a plane maybe?
Some of you may be asking; “but where’s Lois Lane?” If you aren’t a modern DC fan, then let’s fill you in: DC recently rebooted their entire comic universe. Dubbed “The New 52,” every modern franchise has been restarted, starting with issue #1. In Superman’s new reality, Clark Kent and Lois Lane aren’t married. She has a new boyfriend now… His name is Jonathan.

Huh. I wonder if the “New 52″ includes the Superman who renounced his US citizenship in front of the UN a coupla years back? =’[.]‘=
No, but he plainly repudiates the Old Superman dictum of fighting for “Truth, Justice and the American Way.”
This was in Action Comics #1 vol. 2 after kicking an old man’s ass for not paying his employees enough.
Yes, really.
I notice that today PJM has the following to go along with this posting about Superman and Wonder Woman:
It’s Time to Rethink The Reality We Live In.
Now, let’s all rethink, rethink; that’s right, rethink…
I used to read comics to get away from dull, boring and stupid adults. I doubt I’d read about a PC Superman and the U.N and a gay G. Lantern.
Probably would’ve put me straight into literature. Or staring out a window.
Well, it does solve the “Man of Steel, woman of Kleenex” problem.
It doesn’t solve Princess Diana’s long-term problem, though. Last time I looked, she was still immortal and eternally young, and Kal-El definitely isn’t.
(Or did they change that, too?)
cheers
eon
I just hope they take their shenanigans to Antartica.
I always knew Supes was into bondage….:)
And in episode 7 they have to defeat the UltraClap before it destroys the Earth.
