I would love to see John and Hawkgirl together! Loved their story arc in the animated series! I think growing up those two were my favorite of the big 7, little did I know those two weren’t the original founders in the comics lol. How ironic

John's had a long line of unmemorable girlfriends since Katma Tui died. Hopefully the next one is more memorable. John is long overdue for a compelling romantic interest.

If John does have a romantic love interest, I'm hoping that it'll be long-term.

It was the best! Before I got into comics, I thought John was the founder, because he was a big known comic book character. And I thought Hawkgirl joined, because the of the same. I never thought that John and Hawkgirl was there, because of diversity purposes (although those weren't the main reasons John was put on there).

Speaking of relationships, it looks like John Stewart is going to be featured in DC Love Is A Battlefield:



He's being written by John Ridley and Amancay Nahuelpan being the artist.

With that said, can John Ridley not stop thinking about Xanshi just for one second!? lol

I know I've been critical with the guy for this reason. I don't approve of John dating Fatality. But since he's writing John Stewart, I'll go ahead and pick this up.

Van Jensen handled that Fatality editorial mandate better than anyone else could, but it's a pretty icky situation that should be discarded. I mean, does DC actually want John to be likable? Ridley may be going the way of Priest, where I want him to stay as far away from John as possible. Maybe Ridley will do something good with this, but I doubt it at this point.

Is there another character whose accomplishments are wiped away while the stuff that makes him look bad keep coming up? Wally West, maybe? Anyway, it's ****ing weird business decision-making.

I know I'm the minority (per usual ) but I actually like John with Fatality, and I think she is part of the puzzle for properly putting Xanshi storyline to bed for John. to me, if Carol is allowed to murder John's wife and move past it, and Hal can super murder the entire Corps and move on, I'm fine with them going back and developing his relationship with Fatality the right way if it's done well; because neither character are really in the wrong for how they feel, and that's what makes them compelling and plausible to salvage imo. If this were someone like Geoff Johns writing it I wouldn't trust it nor would I be interested in reading it, at all, but Ridley has done nothing but impressed me (so far) since he's been at DC this time around; I trust his pen.

I maintain that's been stealth retconned.
