@allstarsuperman: If I remember correctly it's one of DC's worst selling titles. To be honest I'm surprised it made it past issue 25.
Just checked last month's sales (because its late at night and I'm bored and have nothing better to do :P) and Red Hood And The Outlaws was the 10th lowest selling book from DC's New 52 line (though that's not taking into account stuff from other lines, like the Vertigo books, videogame and TV tie-ins, etc.)
Sales aren't that bad all things considered, the book actually managed to squeak into the Top 150, but when I think of all the bad press that the book has given the company I'm surprised they think it's worth it to keep the title going. Maybe it sells really well digitally or in foreign markets?
Tomasi on SM/WW should be the worst fear of Lois Lane pushers. Tomasi knows how to write human moments...and he's gives people feats that would finally appease the Wonder Woman fan base.
@outside_85: as far as I can tell, most Wonder Woman fans hated the book under Soule because he "wrote WW as Superman's girlfriend and not as Wonder Woman."
Tomasi writes over the top moments in his comics for the characters. If Wonder Woman fans want feats, Tomasi will give them feats.

Problem is though, that as far as I can tell, most WW fans aren't fans of this coupling to begin with. Mostly for the reasons you mentioned, which isn't a problem that's limited to Soule, it's just about every writer who has the pair under their pen that tends to beef up Supes over Diana. There is the physical differences ofc, but most of the time, it's Clark that saves the day and Diana comes in as support. If they head to Apokolips, you already know who is fighting Darkseid and who gets Kalibak.
@outside_85: yup you make a good point. I don't mind Superman be with Lana Lang or any ordinary human beings (if he is not into Lois Lane) and Wonder Woman be with normal guy where technically Wonder Woman is always save the day
@outside_85: Like I said, Tomasi is the guy. He'll give both their moment to shine.
Neither can take on Darkseid on their own, he would just have them fight together.
Remember back to B&R where Batman was punching everyone? Superman was excluded from the JL and Wonder Woman was the only one Batman didn't get in their face.

I'll wait till I see it, DC has a horrible tendency to let Superman (and his foes) take the lead.
Darkseid was an example, Superman takes the headliner, Diana gets the chump next to him. But both could take him on before the first story of the New 52.

Any, I updated:

Sign that Tomasi respects both characters. In the previews, we see that it is Superman who is hurt by Magog leaving DI a chance to fend for herself. Tomasi gives fans what they want.
Batman fans wanted Bat-tool, they got it. Superman fans want Superman not written like a dweeb, Tomasi's Superman is a bit forceful, but at least has a backbone and Wonder Woman fans want Wonder Woman to get feats--they will get it.

Try and look up my posts on the Batman board and you'll see that I am certainly not a Batman fan anymore than you are.
So he shipped him off the worlds most retarded suit of armor to take on the half of Apokolips on his own... yeah, great writer... balls.
@outside_85: You and I think it was stupid, but the story wasn't written for you and me. It was written for Batman fans and they were very happy when they read it.
Like I said, the guy specializes in fan service. If WW fans want a WW that's punching out of her weight class, Tomasi already proved, with Batman, that he was willing to oblige.

Aka, they are getting a writer catering to the lowest common denomiter, it's not going to be about a good story but fan service.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HE-MAN! I can't wait for Eternity War to start already. I am dying for this to start. one of the most consistently awesome series like Aquaman.
