UGGGGGGGGH. I hate when someone like WW of all people is used for an administration. It just does not gel with the current most important versions of her ...be it Perez, or Azzarello. An Amazon is not going to represent or take commands from the US military. Never in a million years. Plus she does not need to since modern versions has her independent and free thinking and more an emissary...or trying to understand us via an everywoman occupation and that should never include CIA type spy or military stooge. How can you understand the world from the US army????? I think DC Comics really have gone backwards. The League is a fairly neutral body trying to better all the world not a single administration. This government stooge thing is something that also brings Superman into disrepute. Just flag waving because... The American way is not the same as when they debuted. The world is not fighting Hitler anymore. Evil was evil then. Now the world is many shades of gray. DC...good grief...if anyone of you are reading...get a clue!!!!

I think this just goes to trying to downplay their “otherness” even more. Superman and Wonder Woman have to conform to (old and outdated) American ways, athourity and control. They have to stand for just one country instead of being neutral as they should be. There is so much “reading between the lines” with Diana being deemed as wrong or not “understanding” for embracing her culture, trying to help push Kal to do the same and help others in other countries as seen in new52. Superman would rather hide and live in privilege, resenting his otherness for one society’s acceptance. Now for Wonder Woman in rebirth, she has to lose everything, become dependent on a man, under the military to function.

AHHHHHH. Perfect!!!! And the first caption encapsulates imo why SMWW works as a symbol for boys and girls in terms of partnerships for the modern times. SM sometimes to me at least has some very conservative old fashioned ideals...and some ( not all) of his fans are very threatened by the likes of Wonder Woman being his equal and on par with him . I find it baffling some people tolerate bs writing with him and Batman where Superman is demeaned, mocked, undermined, comes across as stupid...but because Superman is winking or saving cats and wearing red underpants, or Clark is at the DP and dating folks from HIS franchise...they okay with Batman but seem to go crazy if Diana gets some love and attention or shown to be strong etc. They seem oblivious to the fact that what they are doing in simply showing their insecurity and very old fashioned ideas...and that comics really is the boys club and we are truly not interested in making our girls empowered or our boys look up to strong women and not feel insecure as a man or individual.

Some fans are intimidated by Wonder Woman as a character and it shows. That’s their issue of being insecure or having this “caveman” mindset that a woman can’t be an equal. You can’t put Wonder Woman in the background. She demands equal spotlight. She demands equal respect. This doesn’t make men less as they so fear, it’s just right period.
Diana challenging Clark as she should. As we’ve said...Their dynamic was ahead of its time.

Sweet! And love the captions as always!! ❤️🤗
[QUOTE=LoveStar;4230183]LOL yes I know exactly what you mean 😏🤣
DC’s entire mindset is counterproductive. They want this modern new audience but yet continue to go backwards and stay stagnant. They give up too easily when real creative challenges come about. Some are still stuck trying to live in their glory days. They know what to do. They’ve done it and had it with new52, flaws and all.[/QUOTE]
The comics that they publish lately don't seem at all new readers friendly. With the shrinking readership, their stories will be more and more oriented for an audience of loyal "old" readers.

Readership is still shrinking because obviously “old” readers ain’t that loyal. Trying to put new paint on an old house that needs major repairs doesn’t work either.

DC needs to reach for new audiences and the fact that they know what works but don’t want to put in the effort is just lazy.

Love this!
It was such a cute take on the glasses between Clark and Diana. Diana coming to love the idea and the advantage, being a fun stylish thing for her. The important factor was that it was them “blending in” but still very much themselves together. I loved how Diana teased Clark too in JLvTT saying he wouldn’t recognize her then his reply was that he could recognize her no matter what she’s wearing 😜

Do they know? It seems that they thrown stuff at the wall to see if it'll stick.
Movies take more account of a wider audience.
