    Do you think a serious ménage à trois can work as a relationship in DC or in Marvel? One with main or big characters like Lois-Superman-Wonder Woman or Batman-Catwoman-Zatanna? I always wanted to see one done. Not as a short romance but lasting. What do you think?

    “Meh” of epic proportion.

    Granted I don’t know much about Batman, Selina or Zatanna, but I really sure that Clark prefers sexual monogamy in his relationship (Lois and Diana as well).

    Polygamy isn't socially accepted so I don't think so. Also if it's two females and a male it might be seen as an objectivization of women and would attract bad press. I just don't see it.

    I don't think that DC has the balls to do that. If they have two girls and a guy, then people would view it is objectification of female characters, if it were two guys and a girl, people would view the female character as a slut. The closest I've seen to it was Dick Grayson/Barbara Gordon/Starfire and it was cringe-worthy.

    I'm sure though that there would be a way to write open relationships well but it's like walking through a minefield so it's best left for fan-fiction.

    Zatanna/Bruce/Canary could work.

    This one will definitely happen one day, we'll be all dead by then possibly
