It's all just to do with the way I perceive Superman. He needs to be with Wonder Woman who is truly his equal, not an annoying smartarse like Lois Lane who was always just starstruck. And it was bad enough Batman having a obnoxious teenage sprat, now they're repeating it all over again with Superman.

I disagree goose. Superman needs grounding, it's part of being the farmboy at heart. In the Silver Age, Clark Kent was the disguise and Superman was the real persona. The post-Crisis Superman (and all since then) reversed this. As it was put in Lois and Clark, "Superman is what I can do, Clark is who I am." Interstingly, the identity dynamic is reversed with Batman. In the SA, Batman is the disguise, while post-Crisis, Bruce Wayne is the disguise.
I never liked the Superman/Wonder Woman couple. I prefer the Batman/Wonder Woman "couple" as seen in Justice League Unlimited, John Byrne's Generations 3, and in the Comic-Con Justice League trailer.

Personally, I've never been a big fan of Wonder Woman being paired up with Superman OR Batman to be perfectly honest. She's a strong enough character to have a love interest created for her, rather than being paired with Superman. Plus, I think it kinda screws up the DC Trinity (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman), as having Wonder Woman being the girlfriend of either, makes the other guy essentially the third wheel. Look! It's the power couple, and _________.
Pass. For me, I'd rather stick with the creator's intent as much as possible. Superman with Lois Lane. Wonder Woman with Steve Trevor, and Batman being the James Bond of the DC universe. Course I wouldn't mind seeing him settle down with Catwoman, but the only time that ever happened, for any substantial amount of time, was with the Golden Age Earth-Two Batman, who married Catwoman, and had a daughter named, Helena Wayne, who became the original Huntress. I miss that Huntress. |

What worries me, is not so much that you guys are overthinking the Superman dynamic, but rather that I'm sitting here thinking up counterarguments.

One of my favorite moments with IDW's Godzilla, actually came from the initial series where Godzilla actually took out the Jersey Shore cast with his atomic ray. Quote:

You guys are the comic experts here, not me. I know about comic books because I read them in the '80s when I was younger, but changed interest to video games and RPGs in the early '90s as I finished grade school. The only post-high school interest I had in comics was having to take a job in the summer of 1996 at Comic Book World, which didn't last. I should say that my hairstyle resembles Clark Kent, but I don't wear glasses; I also wish I could have the beefcake model physique and strength of Superman, but I probably can't at this point. I have been compared to Captain Canada because I am polite, well-spoken, and politically-correct at work.
The coolest comic book scenario is being on a loading dock with Captain America, Captain Canada, Batman, and Wolverine, with occasional help from Spiderman and Bruce Lee. These are the nicknames each of us had when I was unloading trucks 2012-13 with mostly Millennial guys who were 10-15 years younger than me. "I'm Batman." -- attributed to a certain Devil Dog [USMC Reservist] who I no longer work with every day. Last edited by AmateurEmale; August 6th, 2016 at 04:56 PM.. Reason: typo |
