Some who are normal like Black Canary or Zatanna. God forbid Diana and Martha or Martha and Hippolyta would have a conversation and not have interesting things to say to each other. Hippolyta and Martha would share so much in common as mothers who longed for a child, or who had to parent a meta one. The contrast of a Queen and a woman like Martha begs to be written as Clark and Hippolyta given the personalities and contrasts and the way Amazons view men. Clark would be one of few men imo Hippolyta would respect, trust and embrace as a partner for her daughter given how noble he is. The journey to that would be so interesting. Growing up on an unspoiled island, running free as growing up in a rural farm...you cannot tell me Diana can't appreciate the quiet and beauty of Smallville. Suddenly Clark is inferred to be space royalty under Bendis and we have these claims he is the greatest hero to ever live and pple kneeling to him...I don't know...given imo he hasn't done anything so great to have the whole galaxy fawn over him yet WW is the problematic one being a princess and outsider.
So many stories waiting to be written. But they don't want to. Because if they did, it would mean what they say about Diana is not true. They actually willing to shaft someone as Diana who is compassionate, open , truthful, willing to embrace all beings (even non humans) for their backward stereotypes. To suggest a woman born on earth, who would love it as much as anyone...can't love it or the people as Clark. It's complete ooc stuff to me just to prop the status quo as some writers making Clark seem a naive doofus who can't grasp basics given he supposed to be a shrewd and smart reporter and a hero for the universe.
