Yes
No
Yes, he is. Always has been. And the movie’s success pretty much assures that he always will be.
“You see…the rest of them are soldiers. But [Wonder Woman] is an artist.”
I only support the made of clay origin.
Trevor Barnes could certainly work. His job lends itself to Diana's idealism and provides an avenue for agency self-realization without constant dependence.
Rama, no, just no, I don't think Diana should be involved with any gods it seems lazy to me even more so than pairing her with other JLA members.
Thomas Tressor could certainly work. His morally grey character (doing what he thinks is "right" regardless of the dubious methods employed) could play off Diana's hard and fast morals pretty well.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
I quite liked the Steve Trevor that was being fleshed out in Greg Rucka's last run. And I like the Steve Trevor in the Wonder Woman movies.
The problem isn't Trevor or any other character--it's a more profound problem with Wonder Woman--in that no one every really gets a chance to fully develop her or her cast. The concept is built on sand. Until they commit to a definitive version of the character, all writers will be undermined in their efforts to do anything of significance.
Rama's plotline was interesting, he's a good foil for Steve since the roles were switched with him and Diana. She taught him about humanity. It's interesting when she interacts with other cultures, it gives the fantasy aspect of Wonder Woman more options.
december 21st has passed where are my superpowers?
Well, yeah but Steve so far has been a notable romantic interest now two of Diana’s solo outings (and also a well-liked part in the first film at least). Superhero adaptations tend influence status quos and other related things in the comics because of their larger audiences.
I’d say Catwoman and Batman being such a popular romantic pairing owes as much to stuff like the Adam West show and Burton films as anything from the comics.
The setting of the first film doesn't really matter because audiences still liked him. I imagine it's partially why he's coming back for WW84.
Even if he's absent in for a third Jenkins WW film, this pretty much assured a new version of him will show up in whatever future Wonder Woman media we get.
Yeah, this is she has always had the edge over someone like Talia and why some people acting like Tom King invented the pairing baffle me. Like, where have you all been the last 80 or so years?
He *could* be. But, not until he’s treated similarly to Lois Lane, Selina Kyle / Catwoman, Mera, etc.
Until then, probably not. I wouldn’t be opposed to a new “true” love interest being introduced. But, I’m not sure it is necessary. And even if they did, DC would ditch her / him / them whenever they wanted because Wonder canon is extremely flexible / disposable to DC.
That's great and all but, again, none of it involved him and Diana being in a relationship. With Lois and Clark for example, we've seen their relationship develop while equally being focused on as individual characters. Johns might have done some interesting things with Steve but he didn't actually show what a relationship between the two was like to get audiences invested. I even recall some romantic tension between him and Selina in JLA.
I also think it's unreasonable to say that just because Diana doesn't have Steve she should have no one but I imagine my personal choice wouldn't be popular with some people here nor would it be something DC would be willing to fully commit too.
I don't think people are under the impression King invented the pairing but rather have issues with how the writing around it has panned out.

Just because Diana and Steve weren't shown as a couple in the New 52 doesn't mean that their feelings for each other were gone. As I recall, Diana broke things off with Steve to protect him, not because she lost her attraction to him. In Rebirth, they were definitely shown as a solid couple until their break-up about a year ago.

He is her more well known love interest, so for now yeah. Time will tell if that would change or not, sadly his comic book version is very uneven.
