Off YOUR Mind: How Long Should Superman and Wonder Woman be a Couple?

It's going to happen. There's no stopping it. Will it last 'forever'? We all have opinions, here's your chance to share your thoughts.

It's been a couple days since the news broke that Superman and Wonder Woman would be getting together. There's been plenty said about it from those that are strongly opposed to the idea and those who think it makes sense. That isn't what we're going to discuss today.

The fact is, this is happening. The issue most likely has already been printed and future stories are being worked on. I wrote about the possibility of Superman and Wonder Woman getting together over a year ago in June 2011. Basically I felt it could be something to explore but just as I feel Spider-Man and Mary Jane should be together, the same goes for Superman and Lois Lane. It's likely just a matter of time until they do end up back together.

The question for today is how long should the relationship between Superman and Wonder Woman last?

Could this happen in the New 52?!?
Could this happen in the New 52?!?

How much of these two being together do we want to see? How far should it be played out? Should it be a major story and last years (our time) or should it just be looked at and end after a few months (our time)? We know the two of them together has been explored several times over the years. How long should it be explored this time? Will this fit into their respective solo books?

Let us know below. Share your opinions on how long you think it should last and what sort of stories with the two you'd like to see. Let's try to keep it cleaner than that sneaky Superman.

Like Superman really was unaware of the possibility that hot lava would splash up at Wonder Woman. He's more careful than that. Clearly he was just trying to get her out of her costume. Notice how he tries to shift the blame on Wonder Woman.

I just hope they don't mess it up. I've never liked this pairing, but if DC feels they have to do it, at least, I hope they do it right. Superman and Wonderwoman haven't shown any kind of romantic attraction to one another, so I feel that the relationship comes a bit out of nowhere, like Storm's and Black Panther's. I really hope DC handle this better than Marvel did.

Until now, both characters had love interests who were part of their respective supporting casts, and didn't much importance outside their relationship with the superheroes. If Supes and WW becomes an item, it might be interesting to see how their writers will handle the relationship, how important said relationship will be for eah character and how it will impact their solo titles if it does. Will they see each other outside of their time in the League? Where will they go for a romantic diner? What will be the place of Clark Kent in the relationship? How will Steve Trevor react? I'm curious to see answers to all of these questions and more.

Give it at least 5 years. Given the history and potential between them I think that's the bare minimum that you can give the relationship to do it justice.

Of course the fanboy in me wishes for "forever" but I'm trying to be practical about it. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!

All this talk about how "incompatible" they are cause he's a farmboy, and she's a warrior, it can never work, just seems like complete nonsense. Is it beyond reason that he can influence her to become more human, and she can strengthen him in other ways? Relationships are about finding each others strengths and complementing them. If the writers take readers on the journey to figure out these things fully, then if both characters legitimately decide what they want is not with each other, then I will accept it and not look back. But this "It's meant to be/ not meant to be" crap has got to stop if we want to move the medium forward

Having them as a couple is such a bore I think it would be cooler if WW was with Batman but we know that wouldn't last either.

My answer is kind of complicated. Basically, I could care less about the love lives of heroes.

But... if Jim Lee is going to keep doing these cheeseball, sexualized-but-totally-not-sexual covers, then I want it to end before it gets started.

@cloudzackvincent: I'm with you. That's pretty silly logic. Differences build strong relationships, either way. They are both pretty sophisticated folks.

Thinking logically WW is the only woman he really can be with, "man of steel woman of Kleenex" and all that considered.
