I thought Superman was gay.

I’m pleasantly surprised to see that Superman is still involved with a woman.

In today’s leftist PC climate, I half-expected to see Superman making out with Flash Gordon.

First off, how many $%@* times is DC gonna reboot their continuity?!?!

I thought the Supes/WW thing was handled best by Alan Moore in "For The Man Who Has everything" in a World's Finest annual. WW gives Supes a birthday kiss and Supes wonders why they don't do that more often. WW replies "Too obvious."

After all these years, I still don't like Jim Lee's artwork. Gimme Curt Swan, Dave Gibbons or Joe Kubert anyday.

Finally, BRING BACK GIANT TURTLE OLSEN!!!

Superman is screwed. He now has to deal with the lasso of truth or whatever it’s called.

Well it solves the whole, Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex issue that he would have with Lois Lane...

What’s the comic book universe coming too? Is Archie marrying Veronica going to be next?

My favorite Superman/Wonder woman joke - wonder if I could get away with it here?

Superman comes into the superhero’s convention - his eyes are black, his arm is broken, splints on both legs. The Green Hornet says, “my gosh, what happened to you?”

Superman replies, “I was flying down to the convention and what do I spy below me but Wonder Woman laying on the beach, completely naked. She has her legs spread, she’s withering in ecstasy, and she’s looking straight up at me. Well I know an invitation when I see one, and so does my little friend between my legs. I slipped off my super tights and dove down landing on top of here at nearly full force.

Green Hornet, “and she did all this to you?”

Superman, “no the invisible man did - boy was he pissed.”

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex ... an analysis by Larry Niven.

Perhaps with Wonder Woman, it would be less of a problem.

Why the hell when writers get bored of Clark and Lois, they ALWAYS pair up Superman and Wonder Woman?


Linkara will not be pleased.

This pairing makes more sense than Batman and Wonder Woman.

DC kind of painted themselves into a nasty corner when they introduced “infinite universes” and easy time travel during the Silver Age.

So, okay. Supes marries Lois Lane on Earth-1. Wonder Woman on whatever Earth this one inhabits. Lana Lang on some other earth. Big Ethel on some weird world where the Superman and Archie characters comingle. etc.

Case of the Ex: Lois Lane on Superman and Wonder Woman's hookup





Earlier today, EW revealed that the Man of Steel and a certain Amazon princess are the Justice League’s new power couple. Though Lois Lane isn’t romantically involved with Superman in DC’s “New 52″ continuity, the news has still left Metropolis’s most famous reporter feeling curiously sad. Want proof? After distracting Lane with a fresh pint of ice cream — thanks for the idea, Jon Stewart — we managed to swipe a page from her very secret diary. The following entry has been reprinted without her permission. We think Lois would understand, though; sometimes, a writer’s gotta do what she’s gotta do.

Dear diary,

As a rule, I don’t wallow. After all, I’m Lois Freakin’ Lane — Pulitzer Prize winner, Daily Planet Executive Vice President of New Media, possessor of perfect hair. I can cover superheroes fighting alien monsters in my sleep. I eat annoying interns for dinner. I am, generally, so awesome that I couldn’t find anything to wallow about even if I wanted to. But something happened today that’s given me a serious case of melancholy — even though there’s no reason it should.

While preparing myself for another late night at the office, I looked out my window and saw a strange sight: Superman, Metropolis’s golden boy, engaging in a mid-flight makeout session with some chick in a star-spangled bathing suit.

Now, I know Superman pretty well; I was on his beat before I got promoted to VP. And even though we’ve got history together, I never had feelings for the guy. Sure, his hair is almost as good as mine, and he’s got nice eyes. They would look great even behind thick lenses. But the whole “hero’s girlfriend” thing was never the life for me. I’m the protagonist of my own story, not a footnote in someone else’s.

And yet watching the Man of Steel play tonsil hockey with that statuesque woman — seriously, she’s got to be at least as tall as he is — put me in a terrible mood. I have no claim on him, especially since I’m already dating someone who could fill out a pair of tights pretty well. Still, seeing them together made me feel crummy. It’s almost as if — and I know this is going to sound weird — he and I were together in another life. Like, maybe there’s this whole alternate universe where Superman marries me, and he dies and then comes back to life, and also he keeps me trapped on a go-kart inside a plastic bubble.

Ugh. This is getting weird. Maybe I should try talking to my friend Clark; he always knows how to cheer me up.

More later — someone’s knocking at my door. Oo, and it looks like she has ice cream!



Breaking up is hard to do

Who cares?

Superman, you're dead to me.

Setting up for new movies to get to a JL movie in the next decade (probably)!

Boy, they sure draw the women different than when I was a kid buying comic books in the mid ‘60s.
