DC really dropped the ball with Wonder Woman thanks to the Superman/Wonder Woman relationship, huh? The character now looks like a huge cunt thanks to it.

First she dumped Steve Trevor, a guy who supported and defended the Justice League in the congress against everyone else, all because she thought he was their liaison only to be closer to her and didn't wanted to feel personally responsible whenever he got hurt.
The same night she locked lips with Superman, an attraction born out of a single exchange between them where she praised him for his super-strength, all because she thought they were alike in nature and consequentially above humanity.
Then the first thing she did after starting her new relationship with Superman was complain about his need of a human disguise because he needed to embrace his godlike nature and try to convince him to invade countries because together nobody could stop them.
Later when Superman started to get constantly sick or weak she started to overprotect as if he was a helpless child, which made him feel emasculated by her and decide to dump her.
Finally now that Superman's dead she's pretty much over him as if their relationship of 5 years was nothing. She even tried to get back with poor Steve by giving an excuse that being with Superman was easier.

When you look at the entire picture she comes off as a self-serving and haughty bitch who changes men like she changes clothes.

No real opinion on OP's posting, would just like to add this.

Its *rare* to see Diana have any real characterization, an actual personality, in the comics. She is a perfect blank slate, she might as well be carved out of granite. Perfection is *boring* but DC will not let its writers do anything interesting with her.

OP's pic of Diana taking a selfie with a statue of Athena is cute, its personable, its human. I've read entire runs of WW that were drier than that single pic.

(Athena is her sister in current continuity? Or at least half-sister?)

So she has adapted to the lifestyle of the modern woman, then?

But in all seriousness, classic Wonder Woman who was a kindhearted and gentle woman who knew when to throw down is long gone, I last saw her in the DCAU, and as they are borrowing a lot, maybe the DCEU once her apathy is eaten away.
>>
>>88058399

Even with the Rebirth stuff she comes off as a cunt.

Look, sure, end the SM/WW thing, but at least take the time to show WW dealing with the fallout in an mini or annual. The whole salted earth approach isn't helping the character.

They should have shown WW grieving about the loss, imagining about the what ifs, remembering the things both did wrong, trying to make her peace with the future and so on.
>>
>>88058463

Well, I find selfies to be largely pointless and often narcissistic myself, sticking your tongue out is goofy and at least as bad as making a duckface.

I guess thats what I like about the pic. "Hey, look, Diana isn't an emotionless block of stone, shes actually human with good and bad traits"
>>
The thing about Steve which i found odd is that the dude has been a soldier his entire life. It's what he does. It's what he knows. The dude was a soldier before meeting her and he kept being a soldier after being dumped by her.

So to dump him because she feared about his well-being and thought him being far away would help is pretty dumb. He'd still keep working and fighting as a soldier.

The way it looked like she just didn't wanted to feel responsible for his eventual death, not that he'd die fighting at all. She just didn't wanted to be doing something related to her so she wouldn't feel guilty.

That... is egotistical and selfish as fuck.

DCAU WW was not kind and gentle. She had the same "BADASS TOUGH GIRL" personality that all female characters have these days.
>>

Nah that was Hawkgirl

>>88058743
It was both of them. Hawkgirl was a bit rowdier, and WW was more stern.

But they were still generic.

On the flip side, I do like this concept of Diana as well. If she isn't going to be allowed to be human then take it to the next logical step and make her completely cold and emotionless. Or let her fill the Red Tornado/Vision role of the non-human yearning and striving to be human.

But don't tell me flesh-and-blood Diana is the very embodiment of love and compassion when she never emotes. Go one way or the other, DC. Human emotions, both good and bad. Or cold marble.

Eh, perhaps, but she was still better in personality than her comic counterpart, and she was tender enough with Bruce.

They were actually at a loss for what to do with wonder woman because they wanted to give here hawkgirl's personality, but already had hawkgirl, so they just left her as a sort of bland, discount hawkgirl

She doesn't even show any care for the poor old injured dude. She was going right back to flirting before being BTFO by Superman once again.

She was pretty much Nu52 Maxima here in all but name and design.

4/4.

I don't recall any tenderness.

She was always serious and stonefaced. Not exactly a warm and welcoming woman.

>>88058910

Let's be honest, DC dropped the ball big on the SM/WW relationship.

They had Wonder Woman as the distant and brutish warrior bitch that constantly tempted Superman to rise above humanity, while Superman was his still wholesome self who had the headache of constantly dealing with her shit.

>>
>>88059130

That's the biggest problem with the SM/WW thing, be it in a romantic pairing or merely in a partnership dynamic.

They're too much alike. They're both two dedicated and compassionate do-gooders who believe in a better tomorrow and strive to inspire people to be better in their roles as role models.

So when they're together one of them must be twisted to serve as a foil for the other, be the bad cop to the other's good cop, and since Superman's DC's Mickey Mouse and Wonder Woman has the whole amazon background she's usually the one that ends up twisted.

This is also why Superman and Batman work so well, since Batman as a character is already meant to be full of character flaws. So very little of Batman is changed and any bad changes the character can take it since one bad portrayal won't damage him.
>>
>>88059323
I happen to like sickeningly sweet pairings

>>88059371

DC cooooould do them as that, but they don't, which is fucking stupid. You don't need to turn Wonder Woman into a Female Fury for her to work in a relationship with Superman.
>>
>>88058801

The Batman Beyond comics fucking sucked. They had DCAU Wonde Woman be stranded in the Justice Lord's universe for some dumb reason and have a clone-baby with Justice Lord Superman who in the comic was merely evil as fuck. She was also battle-hardened and cold as fuck, because of course why not.
>>
>>88059043

I wish Legend of WW was the current main canon. That comic was sooo fucking nice and got so many things out of WW right. I'm also starting to believe that Steve Trevor only works as a charming WII soldier. It just adds this heart whelming "doomed romance" quality to it.
>>
>>88058896
WW was the naive newcomer in JL. One would think at a glance J'onn would be filling that role but with Batman's constant absence the role of Stoic loner was open.
Then in JLU WW had more of a mentor role.
>>
>>88059729

She was a serious and dutiful Starfire.
>>
Naw that is just fucked up writing. Inconsistent. Steve was a whiny asshole who wanted a girl just out of her teens to stay with him. She can dump him if she wants. She was moving on like any normal woman maturing. No need to guilt her in staying with the first man she meets. The Superman relationship was handled better than Steve under Soule. Diana was very supportive of Superman while with him. So don't even try to blame the relationship. It's Rucka who makes the character seem a shallow bitch now who is willing to suck Steve's face when Superman has not yet died. You can argue about bad writing but not about the character's motivations and relationships. Wonder Woman relationship with Superman has prob been th ebest she's ever been represented in an actual relationship for years. They actually explored stuff before they killed the guy. Before this all we had was boring Steve Trevor who is a mansel. Then she wets for self for Batman for no good reason and who treats her like shit and actually could not be assed to date her because Gothan and Catwoman were his interests. The we had some boring stupid love interests like Trevor Barnes who ended up dead. Then Nemesis who Diana treated like crap under Gail Simone. She basically used him.

The Superman/Wonder Woman romance simply needed time committed to it. Time DC did not give it. We back now to damsels in distress. Which frankly is boring.
>>
>>88058915
Peter J Tomasi was sent to destory the Superman Wonder Woman relationship built by Soule. The guy tried to retcon their meeting as well. This was not how they originally met. So don't blame Tomasi's shitty writing. You want to read a decent Superman/Wonder Woman? It's Charles Soule and Diana was pretty strong and capable in terms of how she was presented.
>>
>>88058930
I remember one scene in the beginning of that one episode where she got turned into a pig by Circe where she basically BTFO'd Batman's argument for why they couldn't be together and at the end of the episode where she whistles the song that Batman sang in order to convince Circe to turn her back into a human.

There was also her interactions with that princess who married Vandel Savage in that one two parter episode.

She also decides to mend her relationship with Hawkgirl, even if she still didn't like her for betraying the planet but in all honesty, she wasn't exactly out of line for not trusting her.

Then that one episode where her, supes, bats, and GL were turned into kids.


Overall, DCAU had a lot of tender moments, it's just that they weren't thrown into your face and developed slowly over time.
>>

>>88059918

No, she really wasn't.
>>
The JL/U WW was written like a teenager crushing on Batman. And she never even dated anyone so Bats prob be the first man she was interested in. That relationship would have been doomed to fail too if Batman had been interested because 1. she is too naive and has no clue about relationships. 2, Batman was not that into her. 3. It was forced.
So forced that in the Batman Beyond book that Diana did not hook up with Batman she chased. Nope she world hopped and hooked up with another Batman. So this says Diana wasn't interested in the man Bruce from her verse. She was interested in the cowl. Wear a Batman suit and she's yours, no matter the verse. That just demeans her. At least she and Superman in the new 52 WERE in a relationship. Unlike all these other forced, half assed ones. Including Steve.
>>
>>88059841

>The Superman relationship was handled better than Steve under Soule. Diana was very supportive of Superman while with him.

In that run she was complaining with her amazon friend that Superman wanted to keep the relationship a secret and his need to lead a double life, saying that he feared embracing himself as a godlike being and that she'd change that in him. Then you had moments where it was shown she knew almost to nothing about his life other than the fact he was Superman.

>Wonder Woman relationship with Superman has prob been th ebest she's ever been represented in an actual relationship for years.

You must be crazy. She was awful in the books that featured them as a couple. Her best characterization at the time was in her own book while it was handled by Brian Azzarello.

>Before this all we had was boring Steve Trevor who is a mansel.

We hardly had any Steve Trevor for the last 30 years. Steve in the golden and silver age was also dapper as fuck.

>Then she wets for self for Batman for no good reason and who treats her like shit and actually could not be assed to date her because Gothan and Catwoman were his interests.

You're talking about the cartoons where Catwoman was a backstabbing villain that didn't appeared in JL/JLU and that showed caring for Wonder Woman to the point of almost being OCC?
Or the comics where both flirted and taunted each other for bantz and that ended after a single kiss started by Batman because Wonder Woman was afraid of moving forward when Batman was all for it?

This is from Charles Soule's run. Wonder Woman didn't even knew where Superman lived, because she thought of Superman as "Kal, The Alien God" first and foremost.
>>
>>88060055
>Her best characterization at the time was in her own book while it was handled by Brian Azzarello
She was a stone statue that mumbles something about love every 5 issues. The run was good, but Diana's characterization was the worst part of it
>>
>>88060055
No I ain't crazy. Relationships are about people growing. Why wouldn't Diana question that? It's more genuine she did. That she just do the shit he and Lois does. Strip away what Superman and Lois does and they two hypocrites who pretend to be reporters for the truth. But they conveniently leave out themselves. Soule had her and Clark grow through out the book. Coming to terms with their differences and bonding over their similarities. Growing. That is what couples do. They don't just coo at each other all the time.
Steve Trevor is still as irrelevant as f. It's 75 years ans people still want her with superman or batman. She worked fine without him as well in the Bronze Age/ Post Crisis. One of the best WW is said to be by Perez. Her reasons for being a hero not because of the hots for the first man she sees. She is motivated because of her self.

And Steve is so relevant, if we are to believe what we read, his butt will be dead come when JL comes around. They kill him in the DCEU. Prob toss her at Batfleck for no good reason other than Batman is so popular.
>>
>>88060051

>The JL/U WW was written like a teenager crushing on Batman.

How's that any different from the pre-Nu52 stories where Wonder Woman initially lusted after Superman after meeting him for 5 seconds because she thought he was like a god and later kept pinning and making moves on a married man who loved another woman with all his heart?

>So forced that in the Batman Beyond book that Diana did not hook up with Batman she chased. Nope she world hopped and hooked up with another Batman. So this says Diana wasn't interested in the man Bruce from her verse. She was interested in the cowl. Wear a Batman suit and she's yours, no matter the verse. That just demeans her.

That story was awful, but Wonder Woman being interested in Superman just because of his awesome super-powers is equally demeaning.

>Unlike all these other forced, half assed ones. Including Steve.

There's nothing more forced than SM/WW, which is done merely because the characters are important, iconic and alike, and their stories revolve mostly about their superhuman nature or powers.
>>
>>88060185

I said it was better in comparison to all the rest at the time.

>Why wouldn't Diana question that? It's more genuine she did. That she just do the shit he and Lois does. Strip away what Superman and Lois does and they two hypocrites who pretend to be reporters for the truth. But they conveniently leave out themselves.

The book showed that she didn't knew Superman, but thought she did. She wanted him to be only Superman when he's mostly Clark. She had an issue with that.

>Soule had her and Clark grow through out the book. Coming to terms with their differences and bonding over their similarities. Growing. That is what couples do. They don't just coo at each other all the time.

Soule had them bickering back and forth because Wonder Woman couldn't accept Superman for what he is and because she didn't wanted to commit herself fully to the relationship

She was terrible in that book.
>>
>>88060139
You think people are stupid. You'd post up a page to try to say oh Diana doesn't care. Diana is learning about the man she has started a relationship with. You would have to post the whole of Soule's run because his run is not about pandering. There were payoffs to every conflict set up. Clark wanted to keep secrets but then they got outed to the world and eventually he learned that the truth was not such a bad thing. In fact liberating. Why should it be? But if you are a believer that he should be banging a star reporter on the side and pretending he is some quiet geek while in reality she writes glowing stories on him and the world doesn't know this...then what can I say? But fact is new 52 Superman and Wonder Woman explored different troupes. Up to them not wanting to compromise the world for each other. The world came first. Rucka's Wonder Woman as well is not even new 52 Wonder Woman. RucKa wiped her out by saying it was a lie. He wants his stamp on WW so he spits on Azzarello's and Soule's. So all of this is just messed up writing, inconsistencies that needs to fall on writers' heads. Not the character. She does not write herself.
>>

>>
>>88060449 Stop lying. She accepted Superman. Fact she stuck with him even when Tomasi did his shitty break up. You just spinning your own bias and hate. No one could ever accuse new 52 WW of never caring nor committing to for Superman. It's there on the pages for every one to read IF they read all the books and tie ins including Pak's. So don't think you can mislead people who read the books.
>>

>Diana is learning about the man she has started a relationship with. You would have to post the whole of Soule's run because his run is not about pandering. There were payoffs to every conflict set up.

You get to learn about a person by asking them about their life, not assuming shit about them and then nagging about them not fitting your expectations and wanting them to change to fit you image of them.

That's every superhero couple ever.

Tomasi had her as being totally in love with him to the point where she'd follow him even if he didn't wanted her near, as well Superman totally in love with her to the point of wanting to marry her but not doing so because of him lately not having his powers and thus feeling he couldn't be with her because he couldn't protect her.

>No one could ever accuse new 52 WW of never caring nor committing to for Superman.

She kept her personal life and problems out of their relationship. Superman was constantly complaining about he keeping secrets, because he thought they should share everything.
>>
>>88058311
I'd love an arc where Doctor Psycho or some other piece of shit villein manages to trick/brainwash Wonder Woman into getting pregnant with their child. I would fucking love to see her deal with the emotional trauma of rape, having to deal with the decision to keep or abort the kid, and having to deal with how her acquaintances treat the new, damaged goods Wonder woman.

Yes I do have a sick fantasy about having powerful women get knocked down a peg. I still think it would be a great story to tell. Wonder Woman is so boring as the neck-snapping feminist who never deals with issues surrounding men and motherhood that real women face.

>>88060721
>Which episode was this?

"Fury"

An Amazonian who hates men creates a magical virus that will kill all the men on Earth. There's a scene where a city is on fire because all the men fell ill suddenly and had to be taken to the hospitals. Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl fly over the city in the Javelin and WW, looking down, smiles and remarks how beautiful it is because the death of the men is bringing all the women together (as firefighters, doctors, police officers, etc.).

She is never called out on it and Hawkgirl just makes an offhanded joke that there are some aspects of men that make them worth keeping (a vague sexual allusion).
>>
>>88060619
Clearly you've never been in a real relationship if you think it doesn't have questions or nagging. Every man and woman in a REAL relationship when the honeymoon period is over will tell you YES. It is easy to fall in love. It is tough to stay in love. It takes work. It involves emotions and yes it sometimes involves assumptions and leaning the realities and accepting them. That is why you stay with people , kid. You learn to love the good, the bad and the ugly. It's about what you love also but what you can tolerate because you love that person and sometimes you learn from each other. You have these unrealistic ideas about relationships. Love is not some room you sit in and tick boxes as your limited view seems to have. As for every superhero couple? Maybe though we hardly see them having those conversations but sure as hell doesn't define him and Lois. Dude would drop everything for her and that is prob why I like SMWW too.
>>
>>88060848
Oh right, I remember that one.

Eh, WW was basically a militant warrior who never had someone to anchor her down like Hawkgirl did with GL.

Tbh, between Supes, Bats, and WW, WW was the type to rush in and cave in some fucking skulls because it's the easiest way to avert a tragedy, like when she literally crashed that one princess' wedding because Vandel Savage turned out to be Vandel Savage.
>>
>>88060876

The problem with SM/WW is not that the couple had assumptions, misunderstandings or nagging in their relationship, but most of the problems came from Wonder Woman only being interested in the Superman persona or being uncaring to normal people. That was an awful characterization for Wonder Woman.

And every super-hero couple deal with the fact that their lifestyles leave them with little time. This was something that was explored over and over with Superman and Lois Lane as well, with Superman never having time to enjoy a quiet time or a long awaited date with his wife.
>>
>>88060876
Every relationship is about giving and taking. You can't just nag someone to death over every little fucking thing they did wrong and expect the other person to deal with your bullshit every waking hour of every fucking day.

People would rather be alone than deal with some harpy who wants to change every single aspect of your being to suit her expectations and women need to understand that that bullshit works both ways.

If I don't spend every minute telling her to fix her flaws then I'd expect the same level of decency from her as well, especially when I'm already a nervous fucking wreck who spends his quiet time dealing with anxiety and depression caused by self-esteem issues.

Yeah, saying that DCAU Wonder Woman was the last appearance of the "caring" WW that wasn't a man-hater is rubbish. She had fallen down that rabbit hole well before the DCAU shows and her portrayal in that series was extremely anti-male.

WW has been a third wave feminist for the past 20 years, minimum.

How so? That's pretty much WW characterization at the start of Justice League, Remember? The shitty first arc of the new 52 with Johns and Lee?

Even i don't like it, it's not a retcon: Johns's WW on JL was that bad.

This exchange show that the only reason why the characters hooked up was because of their awesome nature and how their awesome nature alienated and isolated that makes them feel.

1/3.
>>
And later in Soule's run she was complaining about him wanting to keep a double identity to protect his loved ones. You know, this despite her and Steve relationship being a public spectacle and her feeling bad for getting him hurt due to their association.

2/3.
>>
Aaand right there. There it is. The fact that they're not gods, but not like the feeble humans as well, which is the whole problem in this arc because Steve was tortured because of his affiliation to the Justice League. Wonder Woman sought someone who wasn't weak and fragile like Steve.

That's the main route they go with SM/WW other than the immortality thing where they end up together thanks Lois kicking the bucket since WW was waiting decades for the chance.

I wish for one day there to be a SM/WW story where they hooked up because WW thinks SM is funny and he makes her laugh or something. You know, something beyond the superficial.

3/3.
>>
>>88061869
>>88061900
>>88061925

It's kinda funny, they seem to think during the whole conversation that they're utterly special and alone for having super-powers and having to keep secrets from normal people in their lives to keep them safe, despite you know, them both being in a team filled with guys with super-powers that wear masks and keep secrets from the normal people in their lives to protect them.

Hell, even with the Zeus comparison. In most stories Flash outruns Hermes with his OP powers. Should Wonder Woman give him a round next time?
>>
>>88061333
Well let's examined what forced is. Steve/Wonder Woman not a couple for 30 something years. SMWW explored by Perez and Byrne. Got together in many Elseworlds. Then only referenced in the new 52 briefly. We see Steve pining and we know he was smitten. Diana and his relationship never really shown not got off the ground. Then we had a whole series of SMWW that lasted for 4 years and did cross over into JL, SM and Action bks. Then Rucka had Steve show up and then make out with Diana in Rebirth is less than two issues. I would say it is very easy to say which is forced or rushed might be the apt term.
>>
>>88061925
Read Savage Dawn trade extra add in... Superman Wonder Woman 30/31. It's from Wonder Woman's perspective. And just within those two issues gives a better reason as to why she fell for Superman. This scene was given more depth too.

Rushed shock value, contrived conflicts does nothing but screw up their character.

So SM/WW if both forced and rushed, right?

Because SM and WW hooked up in JL in a really rushed way.

You had SM praising WW for her super-strength when they first met, which according to Geoff Johns was the only necessary moment of flirting needed between the two.
Then you the arc where they hook up which started with an unreasonable and angry WW kicking SM in public because she wanted to go after Steve without any backup or plan and finally the three pages above where they talk about their lives and kiss. They went from fighting each other to hours earlier to later that night patching things up in a small talk right to the kissing part. Four pages all of it.

Steve at least had 4 issues and various pages of lengthy talks after being an item years before.
>>
>>88062291

I'd never buy a SM/WW TPB, and i doubt the extra pages will make those pages any better. Specially when we all know why DC pairs them up: superficial similarities and power fetish. It has been that way in pretty much 90% of the stories featuring the two as a couple.
>>
Rebirth WW needs to be taught about romance LMAO. She don't know or remember anything about herself yet able to act like she cares for the first guy she has ever met who hasn't been relevant in 30 plus years and still show no important to this day. She will be committed to the looney bin soon. I would take sword swinging new52 WW over looney Rebirth WW any day.

>>88062814

Honestly, what do you see in the SM/WW pairing you like so much? What's the main draw for you?
>>
>>88062860
Not hate, just never found any appeal. Give me a good story with the guy and I may give him a chance. But he doesn't offer anything to Diana. Hasn't been needed in over 30 years so do you actually think now will make a difference? Besides he seems more like a father figure/friend type. There's never been a reason given why he was a love intetest in the first place.
>>
>>88063066

Legends of WW is a good one.
>>
Rebirth WW is a complete imbecile! An Amazon who needs a weak man like Steve to tell her what is right or true can not be called Wonder Woman! The writer of Rebirth destroyed the strongest and most confident version of WW so that she was only reduced to love interest, with SM at her side WW had a man at her height in strength, morale, and ability.
>>
Steve is so useless that half of her fandom want her with Superman, other part want her with Batman and a few want her alone or with other woman... Steve is a complete failure as love interest, as companion and as partner. Perez was right to keep him away!
>>
>>88063236

So Wonder Woman is only as good as the man she sleep with? What about the actual character?
>>
>>88062860
I like that SM/WW are equally matched, it's been implied they understand each other more than anyone else can. I don't get why people say they are too much alike or too different. Which one is it? There's an between. New52 had its moments, if written with competence, and natural progression, there was potential there.
>>
Rebirth WW looks very dependent of Steve even to say to her that her home is not her home, and teach her what is love and what is right so, YES REBIRTH WW IS JUST GOOD AS THE MAN SSAYS FOR HER TO BE and that's what the writer is showing, by other hand new 52 WW was strong, confident and powerful enough to be "good" by herself! She was so good that she attracted and conquered Superman's heart!
>>
>>88063469

>I like that SM/WW are equally matched

So because they share the same super-powers? That's it? Not because they have a nice chemistry or their stories together are good?

> it's been implied they understand each other more than anyone else can.

They imply this a lot, as well as the fact that they're super in tune with each other, almost psychically so, and it all stern from the fact that they share awesome super-powers, feel like outsiders in the world and feel different among normal people. The fact that Superman grew up as a normal kid surrounded by normal friends is often ignored when these things are being implied or shown.

>I don't get why people say they are too much alike or too different.

Because they normally are. The thing is that Wonder Woman ends up being twisted to act as a partner for Superman. Gone is the understanding and cool superheroine that constantly deals with people and press, in is the emotional and brutish warrior that have a hard time understanding people and social/cultural mores. She becomes a worse character when near Superman.

>>88063502

>Rebirth WW looks very dependent of Steve even to say to her that her home is not her home, and teach her what is love and what is right so, YES REBIRTH WW IS JUST GOOD AS THE MAN SSAYS FOR HER TO BE

Wonder Woman in SM/WW needed Superman to tell her to be more caring to normal people, teach her how to properly act as a person and how to do things the proper way.

SM teach her how to be more caring about normal people? Good this show how he don't need normal people to teach him nothing! And he saying to her normal people are more fragile than her Gods relatives and the amazons is a very natural thing, but by other hand Steve saying to her that her home is not her real home and how "love" is stupidity because if there is one thing she always knew was how love, just read her new 52 books!
>>
>>88063767
Equally matched, intellectually, emotionally not just physically. Charles Soule's first volume is highly recommended as it should be because it's very good and Diana's characterization is good here. She acts like a normal woman and what normal woman doesn't talk about her relationship with a friend. She held her own against Zod and Faora better than Superman. Soule combined their world's with Strife/Apollo meddling. That's my only gripe is that there should've been more of her world. Everything else after Soule left, was forced conflict for the sake of conflict and had them OOC.
But they are outsiders trying to be as normal as they can but Diana has a more difficult time with that because she likes being carefree.

They work naturally together. They sync naturally. Writers don't have to go over board in making conflict or do some big stunt. Both characters can be themselves together. They have similarities but also differences that can be explored correctly .
>>
Wonder Woman is not a worse character when near Superman, she is a worse character near everyone including all the Justice League because most of the writers simply don't know how to act with her! The weight of be an "Icon of this" "Icon of That" makes them simply not know her or have no interest in her! How to create a simple and light adventure with a lot of people who just do not read her stories complaining about what they do not know! If she attacks is violent, then scream, "This is not the WW, WW is just love!" If it does not attack: "This is not WW, she is a terrible warrior!". You need a great writer to balance that character, and DC does not currently have that writer, and if he does, he just does not want to write it! Do not blame her relationship with Superman so blame the groups who do not read or really like her for it!
>>
>>88063855
If you are talking about Tomasi's run. The guy wrote Diana terribly and his response was "no conflict, no story".
>>
>>88063767
>So because they share the same super-powers?
No dammit, they are the two most similar leaguers personality wise. Both have a strong emphasis on kindness and compassion, both relate to people on a very human level despite being near demigods. In a sensible world, that means compatibilty. But because we need constant drama whoring there needs to be conflict and so we get a SM/WW mashup that sees only the matching powers and that strips Diana of her empathy, turning her into some weird shallow girl just looking for a big strong man to fall into the arms of despite it being obvious Clark would be the sub in their relationship. I don't get how DC could get this so disastrously wrong. It was the easiest pairing in the world and they fucked it up.
>>
>>88064057

Wonder Woman then should date Batman, DC's bigger seller bar none.

But then again... Batman should probably be with Harley Quinn, a character who sells more than WW.
>>
>>88064160

>SM teach her how to be more caring about normal people? Good this show how he don't need normal people to teach him nothing!

No, it's bad, because Wonder Woman shouldn't need Superman to learn that. You're pretty much throwing Wonder Woman under the bus to prop up Superman.
>>
She came from an isolated island where she lived with a tribe of women usually physically stronger than men, her relatives are Greek gods, one of her first contacts with enemies in the "world of men" were Parademons, of course it is normal she does not understand Well the human fragility, this is to understand the character and not "throwing Wonder Woman under the bus to prop up Superman."
>>
Bad is to destroy the character by turning her into a cold-hearted woman who has lived in the "men's world" for all these years and, apart from learning nothing, to create a dependency on the male figure, now a mere ordinary man who is nothing exceptional!
>>
>>88064165

>Equally matched, intellectually, emotionally not just physically.

She was constantly talked down by Superman, either for not understanding how the world works or for being too volatile. How the fuck was she matched intellectually and emotional to Superman in the SM/WW book?

>Charles Soule's first volume is highly recommended as it should be because it's very good and Diana's characterization is good here.

By whom? The book was awful and Wonder Woman characterized horribly.

>She held her own against Zod and Faora better than Superman.

Because being a fierce and relentlessness warrior princess was the only thing the character had for her in the book.

>Soule combined their world's with Strife/Apollo meddling. That's my only gripe is that there should've been more of her world.

Her supporting cast only appeared to test if Superman was deserving of Wonder Woman's pussy, as if any of the gods would care about something like this when they hardly talked or cared about her in her own book, and every time Superman would either pass with flying colors thanks to some noble sacrifice that proved his undying love or humiliate them like when he beat Apollo in the most retarded way possible.

They were horrible in it. Thankfully the book focused more on Superman's villains, which were given more respect.

>Everything else after Soule left, was forced conflict for the sake of conflict and had them OOC.

It was already that with Soule in.

>But they are outsiders trying to be as normal as they can but Diana has a more difficult time with that because she likes being carefree.

She was a smug cunt who thought herself superior to the people she was supposed to protect.

>Writers don't have to go over board in making conflict or do some big stunt. Both characters can be themselves together.

That's what SM/WW book was in its entirety.
>>
>>88064290

>Do not blame her relationship with Superman so blame the groups who do not read or really like her for it!

She is worst when she's paired with Superman, though, because DC always explore the whole gods among us thing with them with Wonder Woman usually acting as Lady Macbeth.
>>
>>88064462

The amazons aren't much stronger than normal humans and Wonder Woman would often lose to Aleka, she didn't knew the Greek Gods were blood related to her until the start of the Nu52, she was always known as a compassionate heroine and she doesn't need to understand fucking COMPASSION.

It doesn't matter if humans were more frail than the people she's accustomed with, just have fucking compassion for the poor old man. You don't look down at babies, old people and handicaps just because they're more frail than you. You don't need to better understand their state to care for their well-being or feel sorry for them. THE FUCK!

Hell, Superman during the JL formation was a fucking brute that reveled in showing his aggression and almost killed Batman and Green Lantern, and instead of being the asshole one in that flashback who's called out by Wonder Woman we instead had Wonder Woman as the psychopath that needed to be taught a lesson by the wholesome Superman.
>>
Clearly you did not read SMWW book or WW book, of course you did not read, who in their right mind would read something they hate. What you say are bad features of the book and how it was are very superficial aspects seen by a person who hates the pair, SMWW had 29 numbers compared to 52 of the other books if, by a sort of nature the DC had placed A writer more engaged with the couple than Tomasi, I'm sure the stories would be a lot better, after all, if we're going to put these more than 900 AC numbers with Lois on paper, I doubt they'll handle more than 50 good stories with her, without Tell clear the world record of falling building and the times she was in the kitchen cleaning or cooking!
>>
"She is worst when she's paired with Superman, though, because DC always explore the whole gods among us thing with them with Wonder Woman usually acting as Lady Macbeth." So blame DC not the idea of the couple

>>88064550

She's not depended on Steve in the current comic. Not more than she was on Superman. Superman basically had to teach her how to be a better person and hero, and she pretty much worshiped him.
>>
The WW often lost to Aleka because she did not want to hurt the girl, just look at New 52 WW 0, the Amazons trained for centuries and often fought against magical and mythological creatures, of course they were stronger and more skilled than men, but if you Doubt see Artemis for example.
You are confusing the new 52 WW with the "Compassion Icon" created as merchandising and not with the character, that was the New 52, warrior and not the "preacher" pre-flashpoint!
>>

>Clearly you did not read SMWW book or WW book, of course you did not read, who in their right mind would read something they hate. What you say are bad features of the book and how it was are very superficial aspects seen by a person who hates the pair

I like Superman and Wonder Woman, not just them as a couple because of how awful the stories have been. So i always give their books a chance. The SM/WW book fucking sucked, bro. It fucking did. Not because of the art, because some of them were amazing, but because how it portrayed the characters, specially Wonder Woman, and because most of the relationship drama served more to show why they were bad as a couple instead of, you know, making you enjoy them together.

>SMWW had 29 numbers compared to 52 of the other books if, by a sort of nature the DC had placed A writer more engaged with the couple than Tomasi, I'm sure the stories would be a lot better,

Soule was bad as well. The only good writer in that book was Buccelatto who did a few short stories here and there and actually tried to portray both characters as their usual selves.

>after all, if we're going to put these more than 900 AC numbers with Lois on paper, I doubt they'll handle more than 50 good stories with her, without Tell clear the world record of falling building and the times she was in the kitchen cleaning or cooking!

Tell me a good SM/WW story, and please don't say Kingdom Come, because their romance in it was awful.
>>
>>88065098

Look, bruh. I'll not discuss with you why Wonder Woman should have compassion for others like a normal and functional human being, specially when she's supposed to be a likable super-heroine, but i'll say that you're wrong about Nu52 Wonder Woman not being a compassion icon when Brian Azzarello's run on Wonder Woman actually managed to have a likable and caring Wonder Woman.

The warrior bitch characterization found in Justice League, Superman/Wonder Woman and several other Superman related books and other minis was awful.
>>
Yes she is depend of Steve, much more dependent than she ever was with Superman, She helped Superman a lot more than he helped her to speak the truth, without this Steve she would get that "face of landscape" looking at the weather like a lunatic ... ah talking about lunatic think she went to the madhouse right? Well that was really something unthinkable for the new 52 WW.
>>
>>88064926
Where exactly are you getting this from? Superman didn't teach Wonder Woman anything. She was the one who taught him to be more open. She wanted to train him on how to be a better fighter. The only thing was that she didn't understand the importance of a disguise.

In the current run she said she don't know about love and romance the current artist actually said Diana needs a human guide, which is Steve. She doesn't know what her own mother looks like and needed Steve to say "something is wrong this isn't the right island".
>>
"Tell me a good SM/WW story, and please don't say Kingdom Come, because their romance in it was awful." I will say Kingdom Come, Act of God, SMWW 30/31, SMWW vs Zod and Faora in SMWW, The Kingdom, Justice League League of One (just friendship? RIGHT), Legends 30/31/32 (just friendship? RIGHT), jla 105 (JUST FRIENDSHIP? right).... I can tell you others but you will say that ALL STORIES was awful because you simply dislike them!
>>
>>88064925

>So blame DC not the idea of the couple

When that's the appeal of the couple according to the company, i have to blame the idea of said couple.

DC doesn't pair Superman and Wonder Woman because of their personalities and chemistry, but rather because:

>Superman's the first super-hero ever and the company's icon while Wonder Woman's the most iconic female super-heroine ever and the company's oldest female character
>Superman and Wonder Woman share matching outfits with red and blue being their primary colors (really important!)
>Superman and Wonder Woman are regarded as the most super-powerful heroes in the stories (debatable and Wonder Woman kept gaining power boosts to look more closely to Superman)
>Superman and Wonder Woman can have super-sex (thanks to Larry Niven's influence)
>Superman and Wonder Woman can be virtually immortals (often used as a excuse to hook them up)

Nothing there says anything about the characters personalities, if they interact well together, if their chemistry make them fun as a couple and so on. At most we've them as being equal in world goals and generic character traits as fearless, compassionate, dedicated and so on.
>>
>>88058801
>Eh, perhaps, but she was still better in personality than her comic counterpart
Only if Superman/Wonder Woman is the only comic you've ever read.
>>
>>88065398

>Act of God

Nigga, are you serious?

>The Kingdom

Really? I mean, why not pick Thy Kingdom Come, which was much superior and had that ending where you can see a bunch of their babies and Superman grows old with the centuries?

>Legends 30/31/32

The Christopher Priest story where Superman, a married man, stalked Wonder Woman because he believed she was going to actually sell her body to stop a war and was possessive about her virginity, and that ended with Wonder Woman being disappointed and disgusted by Superman lack of trust and faith in her? That story?

Are you just listing the stories you remember on top of your head? Because the ones you picked were awful and a good case why the pairing sucks.

>>88065255

>Where exactly are you getting this from? Superman didn't teach Wonder Woman anything. She was the one who taught him to be more open.

She wanted him to be more Superman than Clark Kent. She didn't teach him shit, specially when one of the biggest road blocks in Soule's run was the fact that Wonder Woman kept parts of her life from Superman, which annoyed him because he thought had finally found someone to share everything in life.

>The only thing was that she didn't understand the importance of a disguise.

IT'S WHO HE IS! How can a Superman fan say shit like this?

>In the current run she said she don't know about love and romance

She actually said she was very good at loving people and things, but not so much at dealing with romance.

>the current artist actually said Diana needs a human guide, which is Steve

If he was talking about the character's origin, then he's right. What's the problem with that?

>She doesn't know what her own mother looks like and needed Steve to say "something is wrong this isn't the right island"

Whatever changed her past and her recollections of her true past is only affecting her. Steve isn't a godlike being or magical. He's an outside element.

Come on, Azzarello's Wondy was pretty nice. She protected and cared for Zola and her baby Zeke without even knowing about the whole Zeus thing, she treated the gods she met who were pretty big dicks with respect and understanding even when hurt by them, she was pretty patient and compassionate with Orion despite the dude being a huge ass and so on.

She was a farcry for the warrior bitch from the other comics.

See, i might hate the comics featuring Superman and Wonder Woman as a couple, but that's because if find them awful. If there was a well-written SM/WW story that treated both character well i'd like them.

The sad thing is that there's a bunch of things you can explore with them beside the whole "we're super, let's be super together, oh hey, we should totally take over the world, lol, kidiing, but really not" thing.

Supes is a city guy and Wondy is from an isolated country, so why not explore the whole cultural and social clashing thing with Supes as the charming and cynic (who's really idealistic) city guy while Wonder Woman as the cute and carefree foreigner who has trouble understanding things or Superman's sarcastic and referential humor.

You know, anything that deals with how they interact rather than they nature or powers, because that's the most stupid reason for pairing them together. They both know plenty of man and woman with awesome powers that are also potentially immortals. They aren't unique in that regard.

>>
>>88065868
No, she wanted him to be all of him as one, not divided and hide one or the other. She thought it was selfish. Because Diana celebrates life as one. Wonder Woman and Diana were not separate. Her solo book was isolated. Who cares. Soule still used Apollo and Strife. That should've been enough.

That's who Superman is but not Wonder Woman and that was addressed. She understood the benefit of a disguise later on.

How is she good at loving when she don't know what love is? She was in a 4 or 5 year relationship... that's not romance? Doesn't make sense and she comes off shallow and cold hearted which was a total 180 calling new52 Superman "her love" and saying she loved him.

No he wasn't talking about her origin. He was basically talying about her whole life being in man's world. As in Steve is the only guy she could/should be with.

Steve was also changed for Rebirth though. In new52 secret origins, he saw new52 Hippolyta, they came to man's world in a boat, not a jet.

They only "dropped the ball" on it because it was a calculated thing done entirely to boost interest and sales for however brief a time as they could get away with. They weren't concerned with having a well-fleshed out story; that was the writer's job, fleshing out the plot of whatever ridiculous orders and marketing strategies were handed down from on high.
What, do you think that they disrupt every solo series storyline with yet another random crossover for anything other then that? That they do it to tell a better story?

Thank fucking God for that. I'd have to stop reading Wonder Woman if her book was caught in cross-over hell and relationship drama madness. It was cringe enough to see Scott Lobdell trying to turn Orion into a bull/rival in his Superman's run by making that kiss into something more.

>>88071126

Dan Jurgens was never a good seller, though.
>>
>>88070907
It was one of the lowest that constantly had to get variant covers in the beginning to boost sales.
>>88070883
It did well for a mini. SMWW sucked as a long series.
Dont compare the two. They were completely books. Also the mini was better written and well received.
>>
>>88058489
>Look, sure, end the SM/WW thing, but at least take the time to show WW dealing with the fallout in an mini or annual. The whole salted earth approach isn't helping the character.

there is two issues of it on the savage down and smww Trades. so fucking shut up

cyclops just move on quickly from jean grey, I don't see why WW has to keep mourning a jerk that treat her like garbage

and fuck u
>>
>>88071161

>First issue sold well over 100k

First issue of a comic that was highly promoted. Come on, man. Are you pulling a Marvel?

What about Doomed? I don't know why DC think that the constant Superbooks cross-overs were any good or would do any help.
>>
>>88070953
If nobody's care about her why all these people are here arguing about a character nobody's like?Are we all, and this includes you, stupid and without anything better to do? Or are we are here talking about the two greatest DC male and female super hero?
>>
>>88071197

>and fuck u

What the hell, m8? What did i do to you? And how the fuck Superman treated her as shit? Wonder Woman was easily the worst character in the relationship. Hands down.
>>
>>88071229

>Are we all, and this includes you, stupid and without anything better to do?

I am kinda stupid and have nothing better to do, but i do care for the characters.
>>
>>88071142
Fixing it by locking her up in a crazy house and making her whole life a lie? Rucka never liked the relationship, hell not even them just being friends... that's fine, whatever. But to fuck up even Azzarello's run. Unnecessary. And his run so far has been mediocre
>>
>>88071185
Yeah and I am Snow White! The mini was so well received that only few people considered themselves good enough to read it and buy it! HAHAHA
>>
>>88071197
Its a butthurt SMWWfag who thinks Act of God is godsend. They have shit judgment.
>>88071161
It literally had over 5 varient covers. The first 10 isissueor so had a pseudo marvel million variant bullshit going to boost sales.
It was literal ameme for awhile that DC had to use that shit to boost sales. They had shit gimmicks like that romance novel variant.
>>
>>88059037
what you expect? superman and WW are too similar, writers have to creaate drama so someone get to be OOC

>>88071185
If the mini was better written and better received the mini would have sold well! If it was not it was because it was crap!
>>
>>88059419

that wouldn't work. stop being stupid AF
>>
>>88071185
Every book got variants. The hell are you talking about? Lois and Clark did well for a mini? By the end it was selling 18k. It was highly promoted and did only 35k And that book was supposedly what everyone wanted.

>Peter J Tomasi was sent to destory the Superman Wonder Woman relationship built by Soule. The guy tried to retcon their meeting as well. This was not how they originally met. So don't blame Tomasi's shitty writing. You want to read a decent Superman/Wonder Woman? It's Charles Soule and Diana was pretty strong and capable in terms of how she was presented.

soule WW is very cold too, also she did everything superman asked her to do . another shitty run
smww really eat crap
>>
>>88071377
SMWW would never work no matter how you spin it. Because Supes is the jock and WW will always be the cheerleader trophy.
>>
>>88070713
I didn't give a damn because I saw a incredibly transparent soulless marketing gimmick and thus wisely decided to not care one way or another.
The Big Two are in a bad place creatively speaking these days and next to everything they do that ends up being good is more in spite of their internal company politics and the realities of where their actual value to Disney and Warner Brothers lies rather then anything that's inherent to the characters anymore.

Most days it feels like when I pick up a Big Two book I need to wash my hands afterword because it got covered in frantic desperation just from touching it. DC has it less bad then Marvel, but not by fucking much.
>>
>>88060753
>Tomasi had her as being totally in love with him to the point where she'd follow him even if he didn't wanted her near, as well Superman totally in love with her to the point of wanting to marry her but not doing so because of him lately not having his powers and thus feeling he couldn't be with her because he couldn't protect her.

Tomasi said that clark hearsts was in another place in a tweet.
>>
>>88071390
And the other books basically stopped while that shit kept on with that gimmick. And they got special covers as well. Again because it wouldnt sell to anyone but collectors and merch only sold because casuals think 'muh same shit so great couple'

Why is there still so much bitching about this? It's done. Get the fuck over it. Wonder Woman is going to be placed in an insane asylum to get "fixed". Superman is from a total different time line with a senpai already to be "fixed". What the fuck is the problem?
>>
>>88071440

Superman as a jock is fucking wrong.

See, this is why i don't like the SM/WW thing, because Superman always end up losing his humanity. Instead of his charming and endearing awkwardness or his all too human desire to enjoy the little things in life to the fullest or the fact that he knows everybody in his neighborhood even the hotdogs vendors, we are dealt with a depressed and lonely poorsack that acts like a Dr. Manhattan wannabe because he can't help but think about just how fucking alien and powerful he is.

So we end up with the autistic superjock.
>>
>>88058489
>>First issue sold well over 100k
No it sold 946k printed. now it was probably over 100k with digital. But nothing really impressing for 2 of DC biggest heroes and it didn't keep selling well like harley quinn.
Bat/sup did much better debut and they weren't dating on the book :)

When hes treating her like a child that need to relarn basic shit yes. Its not love its conditioning.

>What the hell, m8? What did i do to you? And how the fuck Superman treated her as shit? Wonder Woman was easily the worst character in the relationship. Hands down.

when he lost his powers, he just broke up the relationship. He never tried to understand her side about revealing the relationship to JL and the world. At least WW was trying to make the relationship work.
>>
>>88071566
Dark Knight? Kingdom Come? Dark Knight Strikes Again? DKIII? Oh yeah all those minis didn't sold well... in fact great failures! Ohhh come on dear don't talk to me like that in front of the others... they will notice that you love me!

Riiiiiight, as if Batman wasn't targeted when a villain tried to kill the person Superman true loved. Not Wonder Woman, not Lois Lane. Batman.
>>
>>88071528
What special covers? Majority of the new52 books got monthly variants. DC has special covers for their rebirth books now. Don't act stupid to this fact.
>>
>>88071689
Why would revealing the relationship make sense when she broke up with Steve over a well known relationship.

And dont bullshit me with Supes could handle it when WW never even let him deal with her shit with her. And WW was largely absent in Supes book outside to remind us that they are still banging.
>>
>>88071636
It did better than Rebirth Trinity. Come on the big 3 together can't even reach Batman numbers?
>>
>>88071279
Rucka was really fine with them being friends. he had superman show up on WW house with Ma kent's pie, it was adorable.
I think that azzarello stipped WW of her mythology so much. I think it is a good idead get azzarello's run as a elseworld. If he wants to continue he can just write what he wants. His run works so well as AU.
>>
>>88071826
difference is 3k. insignificant, also not many variant covers

Wonder Woman comes off as a superficial and inconstant bitch that only cares about herself.

First she proved that she knew Steve Trevor very little. Trevor was in love with Wonder Woman, sure, but he worked for the Justice League because he actually thought they could do a lot of good to the world. He wasn't there just to stalk Wonder Woman. He was there because he believed in their mission and wanted to help them in wherever way he could. He also was a huge help. He was the guy that pretty much kept the US government off the JL's back.

But Wonder Woman thought he was there just to worship her and asked to have him fired just so she wouldn't be held responsible by Trevor's sister. She was looking out for her ego, mostly.

Now Superman is dead and despite constantly locking lips with the guy and making the dude believe she loved him, to the point where he was ready to ask her hand in marriage, she pretty much got over his death. Like, what the hell? They were together for five years.

She also never really understood Superman. She asked him to be open with her and himself, because she wanted him to embrace the Superman persona as his real self, but she kept most of her life a secret from him and would always go behind his back to do things she knew he wouldn't be comfortable with and only telling him afterwards when pressed. When Superman lost his powers she pretty much treated his like a baby.

What a bitch.
>>
>>88071783
>Why would revealing the relationship make sense when she broke up with Steve over a well known relationship.

she didn't broke up with him because everyone knew the relationship. Also I'm not the writer

>And dont bullshit me with Supes could handle it when WW never even let him deal with her shit with her. And WW was largely absent in Supes book outside to remind us that they are still banging.

Irrelevant. WW just had on solo comic, so superman showing up everytime would take away from her. it is basically a technical problem

>>88068906

>when he lost his powers, he just broke up the relationship.

Big theme in the SM/WW book, be it in the Soule or Tomasi's run, was that Superman wanted someone he could share a relationship the same his pa and ma did. That meant sharing the day-in and day-out of their daily lives and Superman being the protector/provider of the relationship. He had a very old fashioned idea of how relationships should work.

So when he lost his powers Superman felt as if he was failing not only as a hero, but as boyfriend and man as well. He felt emasculated. That's why he tried to regain his powers through extreme measures like driving a space-shuttle directly to the sun. He was desperate.

The fact that Wonder Woman started to protect Superman as if he had become a cripple, constantly being horrified by how weak and fragile he had become and constantly trying to take all the danger in front of them, did a huge blow to Superman's self worth.

Then was the constant thing where Wonder Woman was constantly going behind Superman's back and doing the undiplomatic, direct approach, which is conductive with her portray as the warrior bitch in the book and that Superman never liked. So when Wonder Woman pulled that shit when the government took Superman's friends and colleagues to be interviewed, making an already politically risky situation worse, Superman pretty much blew his fuse.

That's why he dumped her. He felt emasculated and was fucking tired of her constantly behind his back.

The Rebirth shit isn't a good fix. When you look at the entire picture Wonder Woman comes off as a terrible person.

She kicked Steve when he was a his lowest after proving she knew him very little.
Then later she moves past Superman's death after constantly trying to change his ass.
Now she's trying to rekindle her relationship with Steve by giving the excuse that she was with Superman because it was easier. Of course it was, you fucking bitch.
>>
>>88072659

Now? I don't think so. But in the past he was one of the hotest writers

>>88072287
Because no one read SMWW and they been broken uo for months so that book had no reason so they just stopped trying and forced that shit into the supes book in a weird love triangle.

>Because no one read SMWW and they been broken uo for months so that book had no reason so they just stopped trying and forced that shit into the supes book in a weird love triangle.
it wasn't a love triangle, since sm and ww were finished. Just her starting to rekindle with steve, probably leading to rebirth. Remember it started on darkseid war

She was still with Superman in Darkseid War.

he crashed on the true island. When he arrives on fake island he sees that is not the one he crashed.

It's a shitty reason.

No she wasnt. Supes Solo books still had her in her convergence outfit it was slow paced but Darkseid War and her book and the last issues of Action(?) they were broken up.

One of the best things about the current origin is that Wonder Woman grew up as a normal, human girl without any special powers and only started to slowly gain them after becoming the amazon's champion.

This way we stopped with the bullshit about her seeing herself as being superior to normal people or being unable to care for them.

Its happened in the main JL book not his one shot.
Get your facts straight.
He didnt love her.
>>88073585
He also lusted after Lois.
>>88073629

Guess he already had this written and wanted a chance to finish it. But tgats not as bad as Finch's WW just wanted a child thats why she was with Supes and babied Zeke.
>>
>>88073713
Ohhhh so she is not made by clay? Because if she is... she is not a normal girl... normal girls are not made by clay!

>>88073723

This is from before as shes not wearing her new outfit. Savage dawn had some weird timeline issues.

because drama, sm wanted to propose but he knew they weren't right for each other

Darkseid War was the lead up to Rebirth.
Tomasi was fucking behind.

She didn't want just anyone's kid. She said she thought having kids was impossible and didn't start thinking about having kids, marriage and her own family until she was with Clark

Actually, no. Superman wanted to marry Wonder Woman because he wanted to have the same thing his parents had, but Wonder Woman kept things from him and after he lost his powers he felt that marrying her wasn't right anymore. He wasn't a man. Well, at least not to the up to her status anymore. So he decided to not propose her anymore and after learning he was going to die there was no chance of them marrying ever again. So he started to ignore her.

Yes, Superman placed his entire self-worth on his powers. Since he hadn't his powers anymore, he thought he didn't deserve to ask her hand in marriage. How can plain old Clark marry Wonder Woman?

The worse thing about the baby thing isn't even that she wanted Superman's bums, but that the only reason she decided to help Zola and her baby was because she thought of Zola's baby, Zeke, as if he was her own child.

So what was once a selfless act of kindness and compassion was turned into a self-absorbed act of delusion where she pretty much thought of another's child as her own.

SM/WW is never good because it's pairing based entirely on their alien nature. So even if it was a brief thing it gives the idea that for a time Clark and Diana thought they should be together because they don't belong with humanity. At least for a time.

Geoff Johns wanted to hook Superman and Wonder Woman together for a brief time all so he could set up Trinity War, which was going to be about the world losing their collective shit about the idea of Superman and Wonder Woman making super-babies, specially after Superman and Wonder Woman started going around invade countries and shit. So Batman would get in there somewhere and that would spark a huge conspiracy and fight that would see Amanda Waller and the secret society thing involved. This would result in the SM/WW break up which would be ugly.

But then the JL issues where Superman and Wonder Woman hooked up created a lot of media buzz so plans where changed.
>>
>>88075390
Superman was just raised on earth, so this alien for him is bullshit. Wonder woman should never care about powers or even if man/woman. what matters is the heart
>>
>>88075521

Right?
If we go by the post-crisis version of things Clark's powers started to show up during his adolescence. He grew up a normal kid.
Wonder Woman as well grew up surrounded by other amazons like her, with the only difference that she was their princess, but several versions have her being treated as just another amazon. Her powers usually are given to her as a young woman.

So this whole "Oh, we're so different from everybody else, Kal. Hold me!" is pure bullshit that ignores a lot about both characters.

Their relationship wasn't 5 years long. It happened after the time jump so it was prolly a year or two tops.

Third again, time jump so it is not like they started dating after their first meetup but rather after years of being close.

She's usually paired with Batman because they clique.

In Joe Kelly's stories was because they liked to challenge and push each other's buttons, which then evolved to flirting. It had nothing to do with outfits, powers or anything like that.

In the cartoons it was because Batman seemed like a puzzle, a man who tried to be distant and cold but would every now and then show that he cared deeply for her. So when she tried to find more about him and his feelings and he lied about it she took it as a challenge.

Even her thing with Aquaman was more about them being past friends than anything else related to them being royals or whatnot.

>I don't get why people say they are too much alike or too different. Which one is it?

It can be both. Power-wise they are alike in that both are demigods standing above humanity. Personality-wise, Clark very much wants to connect to that humanity while Diana remains very much aloof from it all.

Shipping the two over the former makes little sense when the latter will keep them forever apart. I suppose in the end I like how the comics handled their relationship in that there was an initial spark from the former but ultimately what drove them apart was the latter.
>>
>SM and WW are too similar, blah blah...

This is complete bullshit. They're very different people. They do have a lot in common though, which is why people tend to ship them. People think that relationships need huge amounts of friction because that's all the media ever tries to sell.

Have you looked at any of your friends who have more successful relationships with a critical eye? Are they made up of wild and wacky combinations of random elements? Or are they instead people who share many things, like hobbies and interests?

They wanted SM and WM to fail. They wrote them to fail. That's all they know how to do. The writers are fans and comics fans are addicted to their OTPs.

DC doesn't write SM/WW to fail, because for DC the only appeal the pairing have is power fetish bullshit. That's all there ever going to be about the pairing.

So that's something you and the rest of us are going to have to deal with when it comes to SM/WW. That their stories together will always be about how awesome and alien they're in regards to the rest of us and how that makes them feel isolated and connected. And how since they're perfect in every way and we so fallible that maybe they know best and deserves to rule our asses. Because power and corruption is a big thing to explore.

SM/WW will never be about two people that share a lot in common having a nice time like normal people. DC doesn't want to explore how like they're normal people, but the very opposite.
>>
>>88082665

>She was written that way to make the eventual Lois relationship look better.

Even in Elseworlds where Lois is usually dead or absent?

Nah, m8. Be honest with yourself. They write Diana as a cold and aloof immortal warrior princess because that's the writers want out of her when she's paired with Superman.

They don't want Clark Kent and Diana Prince, they want Superman and Wonder Woman.

That's the only reason people pair Superman with Wonder Woman.

Maybe a small part of the people that ship them do it because they genuinely want to see their favorite heroes happy together, although i've never seen a SM/WW shipper giving a crap about Wonder Woman character. As long as she's with Superman, no matter how twisted and badly written, they're content.

The biggest reason they're paired together is because they're Superman and Wonder Woman. They're important and powerful. They also look the same.

Lots of people that pair them hate the whole Clark Kent thing. They find it that it makes Superman look like a chump and a loser. They also couldn't give a crap about the fact that Wonder Woman's an amazon princess or that in some continuities she's an ambassador. They couldn't give a crap about anything else about Wonder Woman other than her looks and superpowers.

They ship them because they're iconic as heroes. They're big. They're important. It's an image and perception thing. People couldn't care less about who the characters really are beneath the colorful costumes.

So whenever Superman and Wonder Woman are together as a couple in stories the only thing explore are their superhero personas. That's what the characters are reduced to. Superman becomes Kal-El, the alien god, and Wonder Woman becomes... Wonder Woman, the warrior demigod. They live in the Fortress of Solitude and their past-time consist in making out in the clouds. The other half of the time is nothing but them fighting bad guys together.

Clark Kent, the Smallville farmboy and city guy reporter, and Diana Prince, the amazon princess and UN ambassador that foster peace and understanding, can die in a ditch for all people care.

Because it's stale. It only "works" in fanfic and tumblrposting where it's all pretty and lovely, but to keep it in stories it needs conflict, and to generate conflict between SM/WW the writers come up with the most retarded shit that mischaracterizes one of them (mostly Diana because Superman is easier to get) or both of them.

Which is also why it "works" in Kingdom Come at the end of it when they actually become a couple... they just live happily everafter

>>88085223
It could work as a background thing, where it's simply a matter of fact that comes up occassionally. An Ideal SM/WW would focus more on whatever adventure their having as opposed to the relationship itself
>>
>>88085223

>Which is also why it "works" in Kingdom Come at the end of it when they actually become a couple... they just live happily everafter

There was no passion between them and Superman still seemed hung up about Lois. Wonder Woman was basically stuck in a loveless marriage because she to finally managed to get her way and lock Superman with a pregnancy.

How's that a happy ending?
>>
>>88083822

>I'm a SM/WW shipper.

Why?

>DC's recent attempt at it is garbage.

Has any of their attempts at it ever worked, though?

Even when they try to push the whole "Superman and Wonder Woman are Best Friends Forever" it seems forced because all they do is fly up in the clouds and constantly tell each other how much their friendship and support is important for one another over and over again, as if by repeating a lot as a matter of fact the readers will just accept it.
>>
>>88087080
>It's always garbage

I'm not that guy, but DC always writes the ship to debunk it. It's never an honest attempt, it's always usd as a tool to make Lois or Steve look better in comparison. The writers are shippers too, anon.
>>
>>88086485

That would make a terrible relationship, though. Where's the chemistry?

A good romance needs to be a slow-burn kinda of thing where the characters interactions are interesting to read about. Where readers come to like the characters and how their interact and root for them to be together.

In The New 52 they decided to just jump to the relationship where after three pages of conversation Superman and Wonder Woman were already kissing and by the end of the next issue they were already an item. That kills the romance.

Take any romance novel or film. The couple only get together in the end. The whole story is how they managed to clique together and win each other's hearts and hands.

>DC always writes the ship to debunk it. It's never an honest attempt, it's always usd as a tool to make Lois or Steve look better in comparison.

You know that's not true.

Steve Trevor, for example, was out of Wonder Woman's life for 30 fucking years. He was a non entity. Wonder Woman was free to be with whoever she wanted.
As for Lois Lane, In most Elseworlds she's either dead or a cunt that leaves Superman for some cunt-sh reason leaving the path open for Wonder Woman.

You can't blame SM/WW awful stories on either Steve or Lois. The problem, as has been said numerous times in the thread, is that DC only see an appeal in the power couple thing, where Superman is reduced to the alpha hero and Wonder Woman is reduced to his submissive waaas queen.

>>88087231

Did you read what i wrote? It has nothing to do about them being the together, but how the publisher portray them together.

If DC portrayed them as two people that got together because they spend a lot of time together and share the same social circles, then maybe the romance would be good because the emphasis would be about them constantly doing fun things together and having a fun dynamic with their friends.

Remember that John Romita Jr. issue in the Superman book where Superman was momentarily without powers and went with the Justice League, together with Wonder Woman, to drink and talk about all the cool shit he could enjoy now that he was without his powers? That was fun, right?

But DC's don't normally do that. DC show them as two lonely gods that feel isolated from the rest of their friends and humanity because of how special and unique they are.
>>
>>88087272

Dude, stop blaming Lois for the awful SM/WW stories. She doesn't deserve that blame.

Here's the thing about DC's writers and fans that ship Superman and Wonder Woman together: they fucking hate Lois Lane. And since they hate Lois Lane, they also hate Clark Kent, because they think Clark Kent is intrinsically linked to Lois Lane.

They see Clark Kent as a weight on Superman. A tacky relic from the past that only serves to make Superman look like a beta loser and a joke, when Superman is supposed to be the alpha dog. To them Superman is handsome, powerful and important, so why should Superman go around playing Harry Potter and grovel at Lois Lane's feet? They think that the insistence in keeping the Clark Kent persona is setting Superman back. That the reason he isn't popular enough is because he needs to play the loser stick.

You can see people like Frank Miller, Chuck Austin and so on stating things like that. And that's why most stories that featured Superman and Wonder Woman as couple have Superman being Superman 24/7.

The problem, though, is that Superman grew up as Clark Kent and when you take Clark Kent out you lose a lot of what makes the character interesting and charming. There's a reason why people prefer the post-crisis Superman, where Clark Kent was more than just a disguise, in place of the whole Kill Bill speech thing.

This is the biggest problem of the SM/WW ship. Not Lois Lane's ghost, but the death of Clark Kent. The fact that writers constantly use Wonder Woman as the person that tries to convince Superman to be more super than man also contributes a lot.
>>

>>

How the fuck they use Lois to sink ships in Elseworlds, though? Explain that to me.

For example Post-Crisis Superman dated a lot of chicks before settling down with Lois Lane and marrying her. He even went on a date with Wonder Woman.
The New 52, as well, had Lois Lane as a huge cunt who had another boyfriend while Supeman was dating Wonder Woman. How the hell was that sinking the SM/WW thing?

Bullshit. Any superman story that erases Clark Kent isn't a Superman story.

Look at facts. Diana when its not a ship/debunk the ship story knows where Clark is best found (on his farm), and doesn't judge him for his life as a man. They only play that shit up when they're trying to make "friction" and somehow say and this shit isn't subtle "Lois wouldn't make this mistake."

This isn't an attack on Lois or him spending half his day sitting in an office. It's a repudiation of ham handed techniques used to prop up another ship. Tell me that they didn't write Diana like an uncaring bitch on the reg.

You know they did. They also wrote many little instances of Clark having to judge Diana as if he were her father which makes him look like the worst possible boyfriend. Clark might lecture bad guys, but they wrote him lecturing his girlfriend. Regularly. It's character assassination pure and simple.

>why should Superman go around playing Harry Potter and grovel at Lois Lane's feet?

Well, yeah. Dude, I'm not here to read stories about some dude pining over some chick that's currently sleeping with someone else as was the case in the new 52. That's not romantic, that's creepy.

>The problem, though, is that Superman grew up as Clark Kent and when you take Clark Kent out

There was about 70 years of stories about Lois being in love with Superman and learning to love Clark. But when it's another character it's suddenly doing it wrong. Weird how that works out, huh?
>>
>>88087971
>How the fuck they use Lois to sink ships in Elseworlds, though? Explain that...


Is english your secondary language? You keep turning the simple things I say inside out.

They flirt with other ships but write them in ways that make the "end game" ship look better. Also, those elseworlds books aren't written in a vacuum. Any non-canon ship will always be shown to be imperfect because they always keep the "end game" ship on a pedestal.

>Post-Crisis Superman dated a lot of chicks before settling down with Lois Lane and marrying her.

And?

>The New 52, as well, had Lois Lane as a huge cunt who had another boyfriend

She wasn't a huge cunt for having a boyfriend who wasn't named Clark. She was dating someone else. Now take her off the table (even thought the writers never did, did they?) now look at how they treated the characters in the non "end game" ship. Do you deny that they played up the worst possible character traits and made them quite unlikable?

So why do you blame the the ship for making them horrible people instead of instead realizing that they wrote them as their worst possible selves because, as they clearly stated, they were going to be a failed couple with repercussions of that fall out? They tanked the characters to tank the ship and guys like you are blaming the ship for everything up to and including lead poisoning.

It's weird.

What stories are those? Kingdom Come?

You see it as them trying to undermine the SM/WW ship, when i actuality the writers are using Wonder Woman as their mouth-piece. They Frank Miller's DKR series or Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier series. They're both SM/WW shippers and they both used Wonder Woman as their mouth-piece by having her trying to man up Superman into accepting his role as the alpha dog hero.

>They only play that shit up when they're trying to make "friction" and somehow say and this shit isn't subtle "Lois wouldn't make this mistake."

In SM/WW was a cunt that never appreciated Clark Kent and felt jealous about Superman's new relationship.

>Tell me that they didn't write Diana like an uncaring bitch on the reg.

They did, but that's because they wanted THAT Wonder Woman. She was an uncaring bitch even in stories where she was alone.

>You know they did. They also wrote many little instances of Clark having to judge Diana as if he were her father which makes him look like the worst possible boyfriend. Clark might lecture bad guys, but they wrote him lecturing his girlfriend. Regularly. It's character assassination pure and simple.

Because they tried to create relationship drama since the book focused on their relationship. They needed to create issues out of thin air.
If it was a Batman/Superman book things would have been easier because Superman and Batman have very distinct personalities and well-known character traits. You can also have Batman as the creepy asshole of the duo. But Superman and Wonder Woman are too wholesome and nice, and there isn't much in a way of chemistry between them. So writers have to come up with conflicts out of nowhere.

You might be write about the Nu52 SM/WW relationship or even the Post-Crisis SM/WW relationship, but that still doesn't excuse SM/WW being awful in Elseworlds.

The problem with SM/WW isn't that they try to sink the ship deliberately, but what they see as the appeal of the ship. That's where our disagreement comes from. You think that DC has always tried to write SM/WW as awful because they want to push the idea that Superman only works with Lois, but my opinion is that the problem isn't the fact that they try to prop SM/LL, but rather that they have a really fucked up view of what people want out of SM/WW.

>And?

None of those relationship were bad, other than Wonder Woman constantly pining for a married man like a stalker.

>She wasn't a huge cunt for having a boyfriend who wasn't named Clark. She was dating someone else.

Come on, Nu52 Lois was a turbo cunt. The problem was even her dating another guy, but how she treated her friend Clark. Hell, she even sold her values to be a TV producer.

To be honest, WW biggest challenger in the shipper wars during Nu52 was Lana Lang. Nu52 Lana was just fucking sweet and awesome. Greg Pak really wrote her and Clark together in a beautiful way.

>So why do you blame the the ship for making them horrible people instead of instead realizing that they wrote them as their worst possible selves because, as they clearly stated, they were going to be a failed couple with repercussions of that fall out?

Because they're always writing SM/WW in a bad way. Always. Fucking always. Again the biggest problem is the approach.

I have a solution for the SM/WW ship.

You just write Wonder Woman as if she was a less asshole-y Batman!

Think about it. Have her as a stern, matter-of-fact, pragmatic work-a-holic that doesn't have much patience or understanding for humor. She's also constantly frowning and making weird faces. Then you just write Superman as you would if he was interacting with Batman.

BAM! Fucking done!

That whole speech was basically Bill telling the Bride he doesn't understand why someone would want to be normal. It's meant to demonstrate what a prick he is.

I get what one dude is saying. You cant claim that SNWW only hapoens to bump Lois or Steve when 90% of the time one ot both is a non factor. Hell Steve just came back as Diana's love interest after not for 30 years.
The appeal of SMWW is very shallow. And always comes down to most powerful dude needs the best trophy.

Its always that because WW instantly becomes the support and it always comes back to being a Superman story not a SMWW story. Look at Kingdom Come.
It will never work because they will never be written as equals.
>>
>>88088955
So the same as how they wrote her in SM/WW
Brilliant anon, your creative well knows no bottom
>>
>>88089246

No, man. Wondy in Nu52 was written as a ticking bomb who never thought things through.

I'm talking about writing her as if she was Batman. She'd be a non-nonsense chick who's calm and reserved. She also would have very little patience for silly things and always be on about the mission.

That way you can have Superman as the charming and fun guy that's always taking her out of her comfort zone and making her relax.

It's fucking brilliant!

And she was great. Her interaction with Zola, Eris, Lennox and Orion was fun as hell.

>Write SM/WW by writing wonder woman as a different character
What would even be to point then
>>
>>88089561

Isn't that what every SM/WW does, though? At least i'm choosing a characterization for her that works.

If it's good for SM/BM, then it's good for SM/WW.

>>88089558
>A Wonder Woman that was just batman lite
>she was great.
I understand now. The problem is just that nobody gives any fucks about Wonder Woman as a character

Nu52 has made me hate nearly every character in the DC universe, it's almost as bad as fucking all star.

Nah, it's just that SM/BM works better than SM/WW.

That's the tragedy of it all. That Superman and Batman are two heterosexual dudes forever separated by their sexuality. Their romance would be the most amazing thing ever.

>>88089597
And it would fail to satisfy WW fans. inb4 "there are no WW fans"

I don't do it anymore because it's no become a numale symbol.

>he thinks that they're platonic feelings born out of powerful friendship would translate into full-blown love in a sexual relationship

It would change the dynamic between them entirely. Their relationship wouldn't be identical but with sex on top if they were gay.

fuck Pak, he just stole from Lois to give lana some personality. fuck him

also new52 lois wasn't a cunt, it was writers making everything to keep her away from Clark.

But that's what DC does to WW as well. They always change her character to fit in a relationship with Superman.

She was completely different than Batman. Calm and reserved doesn't mean Batman.
