Honestly I like the idea of the classic paragon persona in a relationship with a normal woman and the problems that goes with it. Constant self control, quite literally the potential to be perfect by his significant others standards and the idea that such perfection may not be the best thing for a relationship as it makes the other persons flaws all the more apparent when they have to constantly be around the ideal person who can really do no wrong. It's like being around that person who has to obsessively correct every tiny little detail down to the way the last strand of hair falls leaving the comb.
See, I disagree with that.
I think Diana is the one person with which he wouldn't have to "be" a Superman. I will agree that there was benefit to him being with Lois, that "normal woman" syndrome, but I think it's been done enough that it's time for a change.
I think the wonderful thing about Clark and Diana is that they don't necessarily have to be Superman or Wonder Woman with one another; they can just be themselves. He's the one man that is her equal, and if you've watched Mallrats, well...
I think they'd bring out a side in each other that they wouldn't necessarily show to others. They could be weak with one another. Both of them know what it's like to have to be that perfect icon, so to be able to not be that would be a great thing for both of them, I think. I think they knew each other well enough that they didn't expect the other to be perfect, but with the new DC, I don't know if that's as feasible.
All in all, I think that with Lois, as much as he loved her, there was always that "i'm her shining knight" aspect for him. With someone like Diana, he can take a break from that, which is something I think he needs tbh.
