Or rather, why wasn't it embraced in the New52 comics by DC fans?

OIP.FjowPgkSA8l9enE965ocfAAAAA


I'm a Marvel fan, or rather when I was regularly reading comics it was exclusively Marvel. I had little interest in DC. Besides Batman, I had no interest in any of their characters, and even then I can count on my hands the Batman arcs I've read.

But I was always curious why Wonder Woman & Superman never hooked up. It seems like an interesting pairing for a relationship.

He's Kryptonian, an alien race with amazing abilities.
She's an Amazon, and a Demi-God, with amazing abilities of the same league.
Would imagine their each of their pairings with ordinary humans would be... complicated with a lack of common traits.

I haven't read 'The New 52' relaunch/reboot from a many years ago, but I did hear they had Superman & WonderWoman hookup, and if I still was into comics at that point I would have checked it out. But it failed, and it was abandoned after a year or two.

But I'm still curious... enough to make this thread, after seeing the AI art below... why has the DC fanbase not embrace a Superman/WonderWoman hookup?

They did, well at least superman thought he did

Superman was kinda bored so he just started flying around looking for something to do. He's flying over Wonder Woman's house and sees her bedroom window is open. He stops for a glimpse and sees her lying on her bed naked. She's lying there and squirming around looking real hot.

Superman was getting turned on looking at her so he decides what the hell, I can just fly in real quick, give her the ole' in-out and be out of there before she even knows what hit her. After all he is Superman. So, in he goes, wham-bam and he's out of there.

Wonder Woman knew something happened and says, "What was that?" The invisible man says, "I don't know but, damn, is my ass sore."
 
Superman has a good heart but likes to be dominant in the bedroom. He can be way more dominant with a weak earthling.

Also he tried once and WW put the lasso of truth on him and he spurted out 'I'm gay!'

There's no coming back from that.

Probably because it keeps the characters more grounded and relatable. Superman is so overpowered it gets kinda silly sometimes.

But most of the people he loves are fragile humans so you can still put him in situations that have stakes.

*Sigh*.... seems like pretty weak reasoning.

Anybody here big fans of DC comics that can endorse this?

Found this article on it.
Never realized they made articles about the histories of comic book characters.

All 4 Times Wonder Woman & Superman Have Been in a Relationship, Explained

Superhero couples in comics are quite common, especially in DC, where we saw iconic couples like Batman and Catwoman and Green Arrow and Black Canary. Of

"Some fans were open to that concept, but others felt that Wonder Woman and Superman were better off with their previous love interests. Personally, Superman and Wonder Woman didn’t make sense because they were too similar – Lois was good for Kal-El because she helped him be more “human” and always challenged him.

On the other hand, Steve Trevor was always “a weak” partner for Wonder Woman, and she always had better partners in Elseworlds stories. Anyway, the ‘Superman/Wonder Woman’ comic book saw the couple being together and facing some difficulties in their
Wonder Woman and Superman had a whole comic book story dedicated to their relationship during New 52, which we will explain further, and the infamous Elseworlds story that sees Superman and Wonder Woman being driven by their insecurities and grief over their “love” for each other.

In the story, Lois Lane leaks Superman’s civil identity to the world, and Wonder Woman feels like she needs to intervene and confront Kal-El’s ex. After she threatens Lois and forcefully interrogates the journalist with her Lasso of Truth, Superman is livid at Diana, ultimately leading to their fighting – Wonder Woman questions Superman’s remaining feelings for Lois.

At the same time, fans aren’t happy about DC’s biggest superheroes being together because it didn’t make sense, and frankly, they weren’t good for each other. Wonder Woman and Superman eventually break up; specifically, Kal-El says to Diana that he doesn’t actually love her and that they need to focus on more important things.

Writers and DC put “the nail in the coffin” of the relationship with DC Rebirth by bringing Superman’s family back – Lois Lane as his wife and Jonathan Kent as his son. It was short-lived yet controversial and impactful, proving that Superman and Wonder Woman are better as partners and friends."

Interesting.... but it makes me curious if it was the execution of some if the details that made the fans turn on the relationship.

And if it was better planned & executed, then perhaps would have been interested for a long-term arc between the two iconic characters.
 
I remember the justice league animated series had a will they/won't they thing between Batman and wonder woman, and I always thought it was a pretty interesting dynamic I'd like to see explored more.

He's controlling but she's independent and too strong to be controlled. He's not used to having someone he cares about that's so powerful and capable, or to having someone be protective over him.


They made kind of a cute couple imo.
 
Sounds like the start of a joke.


Punchline is:

Because her pussy was like her plane.....invisable.
