I'm curious too Gus, but y'know folks don't have to post OT images and visually derail the thread, it's equally easy to say look at Action #xyz or Superman #abc or even just post a link to a hosted...

I generally cite the Grand Unified theory of Superman's powers

But Post Crisis when Superman had that silly raggedy...

Quite. It's an old trope, favoured by Hollywood decades before Superman - after all in a silent film it was one of the easiest ways for an actress to demonstrate she was being swept off her feet.
...

Equally it dramatically represents how different the two relationships are, although it could be Steve in Diana's arms equally, in either case it is about one partner being active, the other passive....

Which is cool - not everyone likes the same tea. I mean take Lapsang souchong, I mean take it away, I don't like it, but YMMV.

It's worth remembering that whole six degrees of separation thing, so...

Not to piss to hard on your comment, but the point of any homage is to be more than a little obvious.

For me Az can pull his run around,

1. by slapping butt slapping down Orion, & covers suggest there is reason to hope.

2. By clearing up the uncertainty that is the Amazons.

By that I...

Well it may have been a typo, but...

"I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and We do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the...

This is funny since a comic book shop employee just told me that mostly people came in and asked for the Superman and Wonder Woman book - meaning Young Romance Special, so as a completely limited and...

This statement would be correct if it read like this:

"even though the idea of Superman and Lois Lane getting romantically involved as been an idea floating around for years, there's a reason why...

We don't know the details of Diana's 'Club Scene' for example in Bell, Book and Candle, with James Stewart - Kim Kovak and Jack Lemon frequent a club for Witches. Perhaps Constantine would know this...

No it doesn't. For five decades before 1990 Superman didn't get together with Lois Lane. The great thing about the New 52 is the story can develop in any direction, there is no certainity its going...

Yes it has the feel of those fabulous 30's screwball comedies going on.

Interesting what went on before between Lois & Clark, looking back to Superman #1 it's clear that Lois is trying to set him...

Well I called this one completely - said she'd be at CK's apartment to chew him out for quitting the Planet.

Lobdell gives us a great ode to Lois greatness, before confirming my suspicions.

As...

I understand where you're coming from - I do see what you mean with Beckett going first and Castle following, because Wonder Woman Steve Trevor really is the trope originator for that dynamic....

but shareholders aren't - Bottom Line is everything.

But I didn't say Steve was a "dirty old man" and I didn't say Diana was "a frail flower child".

I've stated what was printed. Trevor was in a position of authority / trust, he is I estimate 7-10...

Guilt.
.... looks nothing like romantic love - but in every way like guilt. Guilt about being unable to meet Steve's expectations - guilt about being able to say the word, guilt about the public...

I stand by the assertion a relationship between a someone who is 7-10 years older than someone in their teens is questionable.

If that person is a mentor/teacher or guide - in this conext to a...

I confess I am disturbed by this.

Apparently if someone is physically more powerful, or specially adept in certain ways - this makes them immune to pressure - sexual grooming - by someone in...

Of course a stranger in a strange land is going to be naive of cultural norms. Heck I had problems ordering Water in California.

The fault here isn't with Diana's lack of knowledge but with the...

While I agree wholehearedly that Azzarello & Chiang deserve the props, I'll say I'm not without reservations about some plot points - but those are tempered by the fact the story isn't finished yet....

More my fault for the Marston quote "The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman."

But to be fair I...

Absolutely understandable - I see why Geoff Johns chose to write it this way. Diana was all that - and with the martial expertise that made her far better than anyone else more 'mature' than many...

Well said.

I don't have any blanket issue with age different relationships. Love is great, and we should grab it where we find it. However as a man I must say this Steve - Diana dynamic as told in...
