I just read Superman Wonder Woman #11. Oh my...the team up between Superman and Martian Manhunter is awesome and spectacular. Seriously it will be awesome if we get Superman-Martian Manhunter team up book kind like Batman-Superman and Superman Wonder Woman.

What any team up book you want to see DC do ? Green Arrow-Animal Man, The Flash-Green Lantern, Cyborg-Shazam etc ?

Lastly, Cyborg looks badass and cool in Superman Wonder Woman #11

It can become too boring too fast.

Both are noble aliens and powerhouses, so you can't play a lot with character dynamics. With Batman there is that antithesis that makes it fun and with Wonder Woman you have the clash of Magic and Sci-fi that can be used very well.

@squalleon: it can be great cosmic and sci-fi book. This dynamic friendship between supes and mmh can be like Goku and Piccollo in Dragon Ball universe :)

So...nonexistent? But I won't get into an argument for that.

I really don't see how MMH will add anything to Superman that Superman doesn't already have, he can do scifi/cosmic on his own anyway and with his supporting cast. Team up titles have to add something to the characters, pit them against things that they wouldn't go against otherwise. And even if I wanted straight cosmic with Superman, Green Lantern or the New Gods would be better than MMH because they would add something more.

I really think there will be a twist there. Anyway Jonn has "betrayed" the league many times but he always ends up with them in the end.

I don't think that's an interesting pairing, I'd like to read a Superman/Shazam book.

MMH could add noir, horror, mystery, and detectiveness on a level beyond batman.

thats a even dumber pairing both are good for goods sake, THAT would be a pair that would add nothing too the other, while the new dark mysterious mmh would have great contrast from superman

Maybe for you but not for me. And both bring something to the relationship other than dark, mysterious point which Batman already has covered. Billy is a kid, Superman is an adult. Billy's power is fantasy/magic based, SM's power's are sci-fi based. Billy is human who became a Meta, Superman is a meta/alien who lives as a human. Also Superman can be a good mentor for Billy, writers can do a lot with their dynamic.

@squalleon: I doubt this will be an option, but perhaps they can have the two adapt to their alter ego life in a sort of a more lighthearted comic while at the same time keeping the action and grittiness the New 52 seems is trying to pour all of their series into. Plot can also be deep considering J'onn works as a detective in his other life and Clark can help him out with the undercover "journalist" act to exploit crime leaders.

that would be an amazing book. still think the problem for the Superman family and the problem for MM/Supes book would be they are too powerful to protect just Metropolis. If they protect the entire world what use is the other heroes? They(Superman family and now MM/Supes) need a planet to protect all their own. Strong population and strong creatures with their own disasters. We seen the dangers of Kryptonian dragons.
