SUPERMAN and WONDER WOMAN are officially a couple in the NEW 52

August 22nd, 2012 by Caffeine Powered

The easy answer to that dumb fucking conversation in Mallrats has been answered with the obvious. Wonder Woman has the piping to handle Superman’s shotgun load, and now she is hooked up with the guy.

io9:

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly,Justice League writer Geoff Johns revealed that “this is the new status quo” for the two iconic heroes. Where’s Lois Lane? Her marriage to Superman was annulled when reality was rewritten, which is the easiest way to weasel your way out of a prenuptial agreement in a comic book universe.

Johns also claimed that many people will have a lot to say about these heroes shacking up, presumably — if the cover at left is to be believed — because they’re orbiting the Earth as a star-spangled beast with two backs, their supersonic coitus destroying satellites, flocks of geese, and weather balloons. This story hits next Wednesday, August 29 in Justice League #12. Hopefully this will go better than that time Maxima, an alien warrior, became a supervillain because Superman refused to act as a big blue turkey baster.

    WHAT THE HELL, OH GOD THEY ARE WILLING TO TRY ANYTHING TO KEEP 52 GOING. I,LL TRY TO KEEP A OPEN MIND AND READ THIS BEFORE I MAKE UP MY MIND ABOUT IT.

    *shrug* Worked pretty awesomely in Kingdom Come…
    I don’t read the titles regularly, so my vote doesn’t count, I’d wager…

    Hopefully this is a red herring.

    I don’t think it is. As Johnny said, it worked well in Kingdom Come. Perhaps they are trying to consider that an actual future to work towards/define as canon?

    I think they did hint at mybe superman and wonder woman did hook up at some point since we are dealing with 2 timelines for 52, 5 years ago and today so since we know they are not together now, I,m guessing it happend already and if the fans bitch loud enough they will not be together that long.

    That’s always possible. I honestly don’t remember Kingdom Come as well as I should so I’d have to dig it out before digging around into that too much but I remember feeling like Diana just took pity on him and that was why they were together. But hey like I said I don’t remember that well. Also I know didly about this superman. If he has completely given up or has no desire to be “normal” then I guess this makes sense.
