More Wonder Gal and Cav-El toys' romance to overcompensate their lack of interaction in the movies, haha...

I recently wrote an article for my website on my top five superhero romance comics. Guess which made the list?
If you're interested, here's the link.
I know my top choice may be a bit controversial, but the Superman/Wonder Woman romance is always near the top of any list in terms of romance comics. The fact that their relationship has so many obstacles makes it that much more endearing. Even though we'll probably never see anything like we saw with the New 52 and Charles Soule's run, it's still special in its own right.

Great write up!
I don’t think any of us care for the ranking. What means more to us is how SMWW resonates with the fans. You are absolutely correct. These characters have existed for 80 years...sure. But it’s still a whole helluva difference than what has happened within those 80 years.
Superman and Wonder Woman earned what they have had. They have a healthy relationship, going through the ups and down, trials, tribulations, challenges etc couples go through. Their relationship is just on a different grander scale. They have their own normal. They have the right balance of similarities and differences that fits together so perfectly. Their relationship is based on 100% trust, honesty and faith from jump. They accept and embrace every aspect of each other. There’s no hiding, downplaying, or feeling as though they need to have resentment or regret and apologize for who they are.
Together they represent embracing diversity and uniqueness not trying to fit in with one society’s acceptance. They are heroes of the world, not just representing/protecting one city or country.
Power Couple has been turned into a buzz word/phrase in which it is used so loosely, but as said above, Superman and Wonder Woman’s relationship is earned. It’s not given easily on a damn platter or by default. They go through the storm and learn from it. Nothing is easily resolved. It takes work, it’s challenging.
This is all why Superman and Wonder Woman resonate with so many people in but especially outside of comics. Why real life couples identify with them. Superman and Wonder Woman is about lifting each other up and soaring together not being grounded for others’ comfort. Best friends, partners, equals.
And you are also right that no contrived, contradictory narrative will ever change that. Even after new52, SMWW is still making a positive impact and that’s what matters the most.

Yeah, it worked very well especially for Cavill and his Superman.
Knowing DC, we'll get a Batman '66 meets Superman '78 instead.
I guess that WB's marketing for BvS/JL didn't work as well as they expected. You know what I'm referring to.Awe! seriously I’m surprised but then not at the fact that so many people really wanted them to interact and not only do you have cosplay but dolls too.
Of course we are interested. Great article, but SM/WW should be 1st.
I completely agree with what you say in the bolded.
Holy wall of the text!!! but well said. Well said.
If you consider their shared published history and their resonance as a couple outside of comics, SM/WW is probably the most underrated romance of fiction. Wake up WB/DC, and acknowledged these two lovebirds' connection.

HAHAHAHA!!! Got lots to say!
And OMG! Right! It’s not that hard at all LOL

Exactly, I wish people at WB/DC look a little more around and realize this as well.
Cool, is it a new licensed shirt?Bold: funny that the Selfie kiss licensing description is “ Love Birds” http://m.urban-collector.com/justice...jla563-as.html
Not that hard to scope out other social sites. Despite IG’s sometimes network problem. The biggest ship specific page is the SMWW one with 43k+ followers plus the every day posts of families and couples.
I believe so because it’s sold at Walmart too and the selfie was licensed to hot topic for the seatbelt belt.
Even looking not so far away, SM/WW is featured in books that DC keeps reprinting or that are on their recommendation lists.
I thought I had already seen similar shirts years ago. They need new SM/WW images to put in licensed products.I believe so because it’s sold at Walmart too and the selfie was licensed to hot topic for the seatbelt belt.
