DC Relaunching Everything? - Part 9

[CConn]

I agree about the Fisch thing, btw.

 

[RoughNTumble]

mieville would be good too

 

[CConn]

Dial H hasn't been that good, IMO.

 

[jonathancrane]

I was thinking about John's rumored plans for a crossover with Marvel, and think it involved Man and Swamp Thing, it would be a good read.

 

[CConn]

I was thinking about lilacs.

Good Morning America, the morning TV show on ABC in the USA, has just run the news that in next week’s Justice League, issue 12, that Superman and Wonder Woman are going to “get together”. Entertainment Weekly has run the cover, and quote Geoff Johns;

This is no one-issue stunt: “This is the new status quo,” says Johns, adding that the relationship will have a seismic impact on all the heroes and villains in the DC universe.
​

But I naturally I refer the honourable gentlemen to the story that Bleeding Cool ran in the wake of rumours of the New 52 eighteen months ago.

I’m told that Superman and Wonder Woman will be getting together.
In a very media friendly fashion, indeed.
Or at least it will be a plot point. A possibility. And why?
Because this may be as a result of DC Universe/Flashpoint merged continuity, with a non-married Superman and a non-married Lois Lane. Without a messy divorce, without a deal with the devil and without some kind of memory bomb. That aspect is on more firmer footing.
I’m not sure how it fits what I’ve seen of a rejuvenated Superman. But hey, would a Superman that young expect to be tied down? To Lois or to Wonder Woman? Not counting use of a Golden Lassoo…
​

They’ve been planning this for a while…

Batman should be the one banging that ass.

 

[Watchman]

That's how Trinity War starts.

 

[CConn]

I think to celebrate the one year anniversary of the New52, we should have a public reading of Teen Titans #1-12.

 

[The Batman]

Batman should be the one banging that ass.

This. This. and this.

 

[Dangerman]

I don't see it with Wonder Woman and Batman I mean Wonder Woman has always been written as a person who has had those feelings for Superman that were never returned because he was with Lois at the time. I mean look at each book both in canon and out you see that. So it only seems right that they now get a shot. I mean even look at when they had that 1000 year war She admits to Lois that she tried to get with Superman and he was faithful to her.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Eugh.

Batman and Wonder Woman, DC!!!

 

[Cain]

I've never liked Batman or Superman with WW because Diana has a very platonic relationship with both and there's never been real precedent for more than that in canonical stories. It just seems like useless fan wank that doesn't really make any sense. Steve Trevor FTW (even if the new version of the character kinda sucks).

bow-chicka-wow-wow

She has? oh wait she hasn't. Not until post-crisis anyway and even then they realized they're better off as best friends.

 

[HighFivingMF]

If it's good, good. If it's not, they'll end it eventually.

 

[Cain]

Either way it's great publicity despite being so shameless but hey that's DC for you now a days; tasteful isn't really a word that exists in their dictionary.

 

[Young Superman]

I'm ok with this I like the SM/WW pairing.

 

[Hush]

I love it, makes sense and I really think this may be how Trinity War is sparked.

 

[Doomed_hero]

but..Hal called dibs. Does Superman have no respect

He's gonna be out of the picture starting with 12.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I like them getting together esp if it is done right. And they can still become great friends in the future after they break up and Clark gets with Lois.

But I am wondering if Diana will try to adopt a secret identity at times since she is a very well known public figure and she cant be going on dinner dates with Clark Kent.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Animated Justice League give me my Bats/WW fix... so i'm a little biased.

She would never pick Superman over Batman. Diana likes the bad boys.

 

[terry78]

Shippers have always had a hard on for them though. Kal-Ana is what I call them.







I know in the Timm-Verse WW has a thing for Bats, but he rebuffs her due to his loving work over women.
