Real and fictional characters as Superman & Wonder Woman:

OMG! I love this artwork! Truly showing more of what/who Superman and Wonder Woman represents in the real world.

HOW DIFFICULT IS TO UNDERSTAND THIS? Tell me? How difficult is to understand this?

It’s not at all difficult. Just chosen to be conveniently ignored for bias reasons, agenda pushing etc...

Last SM/WW tattoos pics+video for the foreseeable future, people will not going to get new tattoos anytime soon...

Love all the tattoos! The matching couples are always so beautiful and heartwarming.

And... YES!! Superman and Wonder Woman are and should be held as the King and Queen of DC. Even the MOSWOW exhibit acknowledged them as the King and Queen of modern mythology.

[Last Son of Krypton]

IMO, DC Comics desperately needs people with a fresh viewpoint who aren't industry insiders obsessed with recreating their childhoods reading comics by the greats. It isn't the 1980s or 1970s anymore. The damsel in distress rescued by her hero love interest paradigm is outdated and culturally irrelevant. The power couple dynamic who share in each other's challenges and rewards is where it is at.

Edit - DC and Marvel are attempting to address this issue by giving Lois Lane & Mary Jane their own books. But unless they give the women powers making them fulltime superheroes their idea won't work. You can only go so far in comic books with non-superhero side characters before the novelty wears off and the concept becomes stale.

It's not like such dynamic is new to writers as DC has many pairs that fit into it (such as AquaMera or Dinah/Ollie...) but where it could have much more impact with SM/WW is totally underdeveloped and underestimated.

Love all the tattoos! The matching couples are always so beautiful and heartwarming.

And... YES!! Superman and Wonder Woman are and should be held as the King and Queen of DC. Even the MOSWOW exhibit acknowledged them as the King and Queen of modern mythology.

You know that for DC, BM is the one and only King and SM can be his Queen at most. 😂

Please somebody hand the author of this article an award.
It really is that simple. You cannot claim to know or like these characters individually and say anything different to this. The amazing thing of all that was said in this excerpt is that it is true not just of the New 52 SM/WW, but was also true of the Post Crisis version. It has been true of the two since their connection started being recognized.

They get each other, retconning such truth to say otherwise is disingenuous and a disservice to both characters at their core. It is part of what makes their connection so compelling.

Superman and Wonder Woman got each other on an intrinsic level. It only makes sense that they would. That is real to life. We tend to connect more with people who have had similar experiences or share similar interests. There's no untruth there. It is why I became such a sap for the post crisis era version of them. Not only was it developed organically, but you could not deny that they got each other, were each other's confidant, was usually at the other's side in battle. It didn't take them long either to begin confiding in one another, because they recognized they could trust the other. In each other was a kindred spirit.

The beauty of their relationship for me has always been the tenderness that exists between the two, and also how fierce they can get. They are open and vulnerable with each other, while also holding the other accountable. They had friendship as their foundation. They leaned on the other, counted on the other, and above all it was reciprocal. I wish there were more people on the inside who have the insight to see what makes Superman and Wonder Woman so special. But when they can barely see why the individual characters are relevant and worthy of storytelling and investment, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they fail to see the appeal of both together. Their relationship is a layered one, that goes beyond plot device and overinflated position of importance. It requires effort and substance. Digging in from a philosophical level that challenges, while also having the necessary action scenes found in comics, in addition to having the lighter, tender, playful moments that the two have been known to have. It is a balancing act that not many can effortlessly and effectively deliver.

As I said above, it’s conveniently and purposely ignored just to prop bias preferences. That has been made quite clear. SMWW has had success and shown its worth many times over. Even having things no other couple has had like the collections book. Multiple writers had input within that book and it was emphasized how important Kal and Diana’s relationship is. It debunks every negative contradictory narrative trying to be pushed and forced.

Last Son has said SMWW is ahead of its time. Yes, that is partly true only because of how far back DC is. Evolving within the times, and resonating with the general audience through the years, the concept itself is timeless and is embraced.

That needs to be realized within DC.

And with the current DCAU continuity ending this May, they could've even keep SM/WW together till its end for the sake of coherence with what had a proper build up, instead of switching after 2/3 of movies.

Well that honestly makes the choices of stopping SMWW as it was actually developing on screen and doing rushed off screen changes even more pointless...

Byrne left the SM books for all the hate he got for his reboot (even since his MoS was only announced) but after years his SM is treated as the true and original one. lol. With the New52, if DC would've stick with its decisions like they did back in the 80s/90s, readers would've adjusted over time. SM/WW already outsold all similar books to guarantee to grew more its fanbase if it was kept going.

Bold... that makes this even more mind boggling.

Though I think the reason why it was hard to adjust because writers themselves didn’t want to adjust either.

A rendition of Adam Hughes' cover. That cover remains my all time favorite of Superman and Wonder Woman for the way it poignantly captures the longing, the tenderness, the intimacy between the two.

Precisely. And the bolded parts especially. Like I have quoted in the past, pride comes before the fall. So it's quite interesting to observe where things are now after all the deliberate sabotaging of SMWW. Was it worth it? 🤷🏾*♀️

5 Reasons Superman Is Perfect For Wonder Woman


https://www.cbr.com/reasons-superman...-wonder-woman/[/I]

Yes this was a good article. At least it was not retreading the trite, they have only matching uniforms and powers cliches, people who do not understand Clark and Diana like to spew.

Being an outsider is challenging but it does not have to be a negative thing. It's an unique space. We have humans who feel like this whether they have an illness or suffer alienation or condition or even a gift that sets them apart from the rest of us. Metas feel this too, just on a different scale.But Clark and Diana do not allow their differences to make them stay apart from humanity and this is where their personalities come in. They care about others and the world around them. They have good hearts. They will always try to use their gifts to better the world for as long as they could. This is why Clark giving up his gifts for reasons like...Oh I want to be normal and not think about anything blah blah is so weak and so unbecoming of the character. I just do not see Superman doing that for his personal comfort as they make him do in some movies or tv. This is somehow equated with love. Honestly to me that is not love. I do not see Diana wanting him to do that. She wants him to be the best he could be. Surely as a long lived alien, he has the capacity to help humanity for many many decades, even centuries. Why would you give that up after operating for brief time? Up to even Batman is shown to have fought for justice until his body was broken and him an old man. Superman deliberately just giving up his powers to play house while the world around him needs him to me is a disappointment. It in facts shows a man who has no mettle and is not a hero but a dude who got powers and did not have the spine or will to be for the greater good. I also do not see Diana deliberately doing this for anyone either. If your powers are of part of your physiology, losing them would make you feel as if when a person loses a limb or a sense like feeling blind. Why should they even have to give it up and what the heck does that have to do with love??? I honestly think some of these troupes are so outdated.

I also see with Diana he embraces parts of himself he suppresses in this effort to fit in. I loved Soule raised these questions in his run and Miller does it too. Clark is a man of two worlds. Not just one. Writers need to stop being so wishy washy & be honest and examine what being alien would look like in our world. Diana would never allow Clark to give up, or the idea either would turn evil if one or the other dies is so ridiculous. Again this is a troupe they seem to try to equate with love in the mythos. But it's just showing up a weak willed individual who is mentally unsound. Millions of people lose people, homes, countries and they don't turn evil for one person. If they do go off the deep end or cannot move on in time, then that love taught them nothing much worth remembering. Diana and Clark, when written well, can keep each other real and in touch and in check on every level. No one is more truthful to Clark than Diana and vice versa. Question, is are writers in touch that they are willing to allow both to listen and answer those questions.

Those conversations that Clark and Diana used to have. Notice how the current writers don't even want to give them any panels for it. Compare what we used to get from post crisis Perez through to Loeb,Jimenez , Cooke, Waid and so many of more to new 52 and elseworlds. Examine those conversations. Deep. Resonant. Empathetic. Challenging. Tender. Sometimes fun. It's not about singing odes that they could not be who they are without the other. No. That does not even make sense to me when writers do that. Does a doctor or scientist stop being what they are if they can't sleep with x or y? No. I really do not understand why DC tries to make love interests define heroes and their motivations. It's just lazy writing to say x needs y to be who he/she is or having x lay it on so thick about the love interest as if he/she alone in this vast wide world inspires the hero.

SMWW can be who they are without each other. That is the point in being who they are. They are supposed to be individuals who are heroes. But they are also good together. That is also the point of being a power couple. It's about personal responsibility to self and the world, giving emotional support, listening, offering counsel to each other etc., allowing each other to be the best they can, learning, making mistakes as well but growing and never losing sight of the greater good. I don't want SMWW perfect because no one is but I don't want contrived nonsense tossed at them that other writers try to do either. I long for the day someone can write SMWW the way we use to have them. Since Rebirth I honestly have not read one decent conversation between them. There was only one moment to my knowledge, that was the wordless touch in Heroes in Crisis but I think that should be credited to Clay Mann's expertise as an artist than King really caring for them as a duo.

Yeah. In hindsight, SM/WW should've stayed till the end. As well as having Diana in a more relevant role in their last movie because she was there since the start of their animated continuity.

The Damian/Raven relationship started around the same time and they are keep developing it in their last movie.

But of course Superman and Wonder Woman would practice safety measures while remaining close and intimate. 😏

Oh, there'll be plenty of this kind of posts that will join to the usual romantic ones. Many were shared already, more to come.
