I believe the problem is, with the confidence new52 Superman had, it was deemed as him acting too Godly. Him embracing his heritage, he was too alien. I don’t understand that
New52 Superman, lost his parents young, but the values they instilled in him made him stronger and gave him the motivation to be the hero he should be. He never questioned himself and I truly loved that he embraced his Kryptonian heritage without feeling resentment. He never bowed down to fit in. New52 Wonder Woman, was fierce. So much fire but still very much compassionate. Despite the craziness of her extended dysfunctional family, she knew who she was. She knew her self and mission, followed her heart.
What made them both relatable was that we did see them struggle. They went through things we would but on a grander scale. They were humbled. When we call them the Power Couple, it’s not for superficial reasonings and not just used as a buzz title. They earned it because of their history together. I believe this also why so many couples gravitate toward SMWW as well. While yes, they are seen as the perfect man and woman, when we take a look at their stories together, it is very much “real”. They fell in love understanding each other’s burdens, filling that loneliness they felt. We saw numerous of times why they were and why should they be together. Those are questions often ignored with pairings.
