"A strong couple 💪🏻 , Wonder Woman and Superman... two characters who are practically gods and chose to defend humanity together. A perfect couple, harmony of purpose and heart. Many don't know but in the comics, in parallel stories the two have a romance and a child."

Superman & Wonder Woman - Young Gods

[Last Son of Krypton]

Excerpt from a (really long) piece for the 10th anniversary of the New52 relaunch:

"Some more popular titles did succeed by making unexpected creative choices — including Superman and Wonder Woman becoming a romantic couple at the end of the first year of Justice League, leading to the eventual launch of Superman/Wonder Woman, a title focusing on their relationship — and built new fan bases for a generation of creators getting their first real exposure to the superhero audience."

How can something be unexpected when DC has toyed with it for decades?

How can something be unexpected when DC has toyed with it for decades?

It was unexpected that they were going to be in an ongoing relationship in the main continuity. No one saw it coming.

"Little family portrait, as a gift (late) for my dear and tender ❤️ #couple"

I absolutely love all these portraits. The inspiration and connection between real couples and families with SMWW is always such a joy to see. And how diverse SMWW is.

Ask John Byrne.

I don't agree with his assertion, but in 2016 (three years after he released Jupiter's Legacy) Mark Millar stated that Superman was outdated and should be left in the 20th century. His assertion does shed light onto one of Superman's major problems. DC/WB wants to keep him cuddled in an outdated characterization. In Tomasi's Rebirth, Superman was the dad who didn't get video games. In Morrison's AC Clark played video games. I'm not a big fan of how Morrison has written Supes, but his Action Comics is a masterwork in breathing new life the character and DC flopped on that for Superdad. Superdad didn't help his sales and now Clark only has one book after 80+ years.

I don’t agree either, but Superman is portrayed that way and it’s double down on with the Superdad concept. He is an old man, man of yesterday but that’s not who Superman is suppose to be. Superman is suppose to change with the times or even be beyond. That’s what “man of tomorrow” means.

Wally worked for years with a public identity until Geoff Johns first Flash run, I believe. Heroes can have public identities, but other writers just fall back on "your loved ones will be in trouble" trope. Which reminds me, I need to finish Mark Baron's run. As for Superman, John Byrne effectively, until it was retconned out, stripped Superman of his Kryptonian heritage with the birthing Matrix. Clark's "real" parents was the Kents. That's what he was, a human. An American human at that (American human, was that some phrase back in 1987?). So essentially, there was no otherness with Superman. But, later writers didn't care about that and wrote him as the alien he is.

When it comes to the "Superman's humanity" argument, we all have our own idealized Superman and how he should act. Some folks wants the "he's the most human of us all", others want the pre-Crisis Supergod, or Superdad, even some with the "edgy and dark" New52. So, in the end, it's a moot discussion because everyone won't come to an agreement on the character.

We do all have different preferences to who/ Superman should be because different generations of fans. But also DC has presented different interpretations of Superman and they have a multiverse to embrace them. Superman shouldn’t be limited to one view.

The subtext of in order to have humanity is to be a normal American is still terrible.

But the "revisionism" isn't their real history that keep getting acknowledged in articles or encyclopedias.

True…but it just goes to show the revisionism is unnecessary and shouldn’t be in-story. Everything feels so flat.

As I see it, they won't rely so much on Batman lately, if they didn't give up on the other characters.

Why give up if the other characters are suppose to be thriving now with the status quo they are in?
Shouldn’t that be more exciting?

Just a trilogy? For the amount of DCEU SM/WW toy pics I posted, you can get a whole mega-saga like the MCU but sappy, lol.

LOL true! The potential of SMWW is endless really.

Yeah, ideally they should've rebooted that universe with SM/WW still together.

Oh well, they can redo DoS for the unpteeth, lol.

Ideally yes but that’s not what was preferred.
DOS overall is so overrated and contrived LOL
Let’s see who punches the hardest.

It's limiting making him just "Clark" or just "Kal" or "Superman", he has to be all of these personas. And above all, Superman as just a regular guy from Kansas change a character adventurous and larger than life into boring and mundane.

This!
Superman should be complexed. Every side of him is equally important and should be treated as equal parts with exploration.

I love all the tattoos! It shows again like the couple/family portrays the inspiration and connection with SMWW.

This simple caption here gets the dynamic of SMWW and why it’s so interesting. Don’t understand how the GA can get SMWW and embrace it as the positive pairing it is but DC doesn’t, don’t want to or make the dynamic seem bad or hard to understand.

Wow…
When actual facts are presented : SMWW was a success

When the new52 trended lots actually spoke up to say they enjoyed SMWW and actually want them as a couple. I don’t understand how a company would choose to screw up constantly on such a concept that is successful but want to force outdated stuff or things people clearly don’t care for, indifferent of and wonder why things are stagnant or dropping in interest period.
Such a missed opportunity and wasted potential.

Just as this, a wasted missed opportunity. It’s the gamer fans doing better fortnite SM and WW promo as individuals and also naturally paring them.

Indeed.

He has to be the "man of yesterday" for the sake of making work his replacement.

They get the SM/WW archetype so well, this is what resonate with them more than the actual characters as written by DC.

To follow Zack Snyder's lead and chase Miles Morales' popularity, no? lol
