Superman in the New 52

Started by -Pr-16 pages

So yeah, Superman and Wonder Woman shacking up. Thoughts?

With no Lois present to truly compete with Diana, her being tied up with her own affairs and all, the pairing makes sense.

At least from a sheer physical attraction standpoint.

I'm actually pretty happy with it myself; it's something I've wanted for a long time, even if I doubt they'll write it the way I personally would prefer.

I hope it's done well, personally.

I'm happy.

Phuck Lois.

Issue comes out next week. That and Aquaman in the same week... The world is good.

Saw the cover, I like. About time, I just hope it ain't some kind of a dream or a fantasy. LOL I hated that one comic where they go with to Asgard and fight for hundreds of years, sleep on the same bed but do nothing.

Nope. Johns is quoted as saying the two of them together is the new status quo.

I saw. The issue is out next week, so make sure to pick it up lol.

This would last for less than one year seeing how MOS is coming out in that time. Its all but confirmed as another gimmick from Johns.

Oh and phuck diana, lois would always be the one for him.

Don't see where the "gimmick" thing comes from, tbh.

and the relevance of MOS, either.

"I welcome watercooler chatter". The more I think about it, the more I'm reminded about "I'm not an american anymore".

Did you forgot about Donnerman just before SR?

What?

IIRC, most of that happened after Returns. And a few decades after Chris Reeve played Superman. Johns wrote GL and didn't change the universe to suit the movies, so why would he change Superman?

Superman on his own generates sales. It doesn't matter who his girlfriend is.

Johns is a fanboy who happens to be one of DCs premiere writers, I can't see him changing his stories to fit with the movies like some B lister would.

I don't particularly like this pairing.

I like the current Steve Trevor, and, if she WERE to have a big name beau I think Bruce Wayne the more intriguing choice for Diana.

Nevertheless, when I came across the following FanArt the other day, it DID bring a smile to my face ...

Parents, preview this for your kids. Kids, get parent's permission before clicking and viewing this ...

Bruce is with Selina. Period. sneer

Bruce should be with Joker.

You know it to be true.

Read the article. He "welcoms watercooler chatter".

Nope, it was just immediately after SR that they changed almost everything in superman to resemble SR from FOS to Jor-El looking like Marlon Brando to introducing Zod, Non and Ursa to clark and lois having a son. Heck, Donnor himself was hired to do so. Everyone and their mothers know that SR is Reeve's fifth superman film, Routh was just there to stand in. This is the company which created energy superman in response to a unfinished superman movie project and made constantine dye his hair black and move to Chicago when Keanu Reeves playe him. The reason GL didn't changed GL comics was because it was already based upon Johns' comic universe mainly "Secret Origins" with very few alterations. You are underestimating how much movies influence comics. Just look at Nick Fury Jr. All in all, I don't think it would last one year. At most they would break up in Trinity War.

That means absolutely nothing.

I think you're overstating it, tbh.
