“It’s easier to sell superheroes these days based on fan emotion instead of good stories.”

A great comment and sadly so true!

I’ve *never* thought that Superman belonged with Lois, but that’s probably because 95% of my take on their relationship rests on Pre-Crisis handling, when Lois was only interested in proving Clark was the Man of Steel. Too many others have been better qualified to be “the one” for Superman, and not all of them have even been members of the “L.L.” club! By contrast, I have to admit that I’ve been intrigued with the Post-Crisis dalliances with Batman, particularly in the Justice League cartoon.

As for Jim Lee, while I think his basic drawing construction is sound, he suffers from the same problem as other “Image” artists… he draws like he gets paid by how many sketchy ink strokes are on the paper. It’s annoying and just looks cluttered.

Johanna, remember at one point there was thought of getting her with Guy Gardner.(at least by his at the time creative team)

So that leaves Flash?

I think it’ll be an odd story, but also thin some are making a bigger deal than it is. I suspect, despite “seismic” boasts from creators, that it’ll be a plot line played with, gotten past and forgotten soon after. Just like most of the NuDC, oops that’s mean.

Then again nothing in JL has been shown in any other book. Superman is pretty different, Batman is different, WW is totally different than her current run (see Steve Trevor) and heck even Hal is different than his own book. Which is especially odd since it is the same writer!

Or Wonder Woman and Aquaman, remember that? Who in the Justice League hasn’t she been with? Green Lantern?

This will be temporary. I kind of wish they would flesh out the Batman/WW relationship that seemed to get cut short years ago.

I enjoyed the Byrne / Perez take on this (for the record, Byrne’s Superman was the only Superman I have read regularly and is “my Superman”–take that Geoff Johns!). However, my favorite takexon Supes / WW relationship was an issue of Action Comics by Joe Kelly. (#762–somewhere around there). Supes and WW are trapped in an alternate dimension–i won’t ruin the story but it examines why it could work and why it never does. Track it down!

How many times has this well been visited already over the generations?

Does bring up a good question; how do you hide a chubby while wearing a super suit?

Did a double-take when I saw that cover thumbnail — at first I thought Superman had grown his mullet back.

Jim Lee’s people look like plastic on a GOOD day.
