I'm curious what would happen if Hernan from Gods and Monsters caught on? I like that take on the DCU and wished it continue. Hernan and the others felt like a deconstruction of the antihero.
Oh well....theres always fanfiction.
I think its the cape, cape usually means evil in most fiction.
I think a team of Superman from the Dark Multiverse called "Men of steel":
Superman the bat of steel (Batman)
Superman the god of steel (Wonder Woman)
Superman the steel runner (Flash)
Superman the king of steel (Aquaman)
Superman the will of steel (Green lantern)
Superman the living steel (Cyborg)
The leader is a Mash-up between Lex Luthor and Superman
Exactly. It’s incredibly problematic (and more than a little silly) to say that because misogynist writers have killed Lois off so often to make Superman sad that that means LOIS and their romance is the “liability” for Superman. That’s ridiculous as neither Lois nor the female fans who love her are responsible for the crappy sexist writing that treats her like that.
Putting Superman in different relationships to avoid that perceived “liability” is faulty logic both because the writers would just transfer the bad and sexist writing over to another woman (something they had already do literally every time he’s paired with Wonder Woman) OR he would never have a truly meaningful relationship at all which the audience would grow tired of quickly. Not as many people actually want to see “swinging single Superman” playing the field but never getting close in the year 2020 as you would think. Gender examinations about masculinity make that not a great look.
Either way, it’s incredibly crappy to use the sexist way Lois is often treated as some kind of reason to get rid of her. No one is more upset about Lois being repeatedly killed off than Lois and Clark fans—trust me. Misogyny is not our fault. Hire more diverse writers, hire BETTER creatives, hire more women and start treating women better and that “fixed” the issue of Lois constantly being killed off for man pain. Not blaming it on the woman and asserting that she’s the issue. That’s misplaced frustration directed at the victim and not the culprit.
Yup. I like SM/WW and I hate Injustice. And that's a pretty standard opinion from what I've seen. Doesn't matter a bit to me that Diana has some weird crush on him there. If its a poor incarnation of one or both characters, I have little interest in it. I'll take an exploration of their relationship if its good, I won't take just what I can get though.
