@dernman: Superman and Batman are definitely alpha, it's as plain as day. The remaining ones are analogous to something like chief of department in the corporate chain of command.
Everyone in the JL main 6 are alpha of their own families or universe. There is no point in denying or playing it off.
As for Wonder Woman's fling with Aquaman, Bruce was dead and Superman out of commission lol
So? It doesn't change the fact that it happened and further contradicts your point. It's silly to keep holding on to this contrived issue. Especially when you've can't make a case that it was a problem for her too date either of them.
Hey I didn't like her hooking up with Batman and think this thing with Superman IMO has been a huge creative failure but at least come up with a valid criticism. There are so many.
I have a problem with wonder woman datiung Batman in film more than anything. It sends a bad message when the premier female superhero in the world is used in her FIRST APPEARANCE in film as a love interest for the most popular superhero on Earth. You must be able to see that, plus it seems completely contrived. Wouldn´t it be nicer to treat the first and queen of female superhero´s as an equal to her male counterparts. I.e. give her a world, her own love interests, he own villains etc, rather than use her to make Batman look more cool. It´s pathetic.
I didn´t mind it in the justice league animated show; I even found their relationship kind of cute, but that is just an animated show. Plus she was not introduced as Batmans love interest, the relationship developed over time, once Diana had clearly been established as Superman and Batmans equal.
As for her relationship with Superman in the comics, the main problem with that isn´t that it´s a bad idea necessarily. It worked in Red Son, it worked in Kingdom Come. But those books were written creatively and it made sense in them that wonder woman and superman date. It followed logically from the story and it made sense.
In the current superman wonder woman pairing, it is the most unimaginative, simplistic and superficial thinking behind the decision. Basically they paired them because "they´re both powerful. they must like eachother." Is that what comics has come to? That´s why it´s annoying. Added to that the complete desolution of WW´s world in the New 52, ie changing her origin, getting rid of her villains, supporting cast, transforming her character and whole purpose in the DC universe, then making her date superman was the last straw. If they hadn´t have done all these radical things to the character, it may have been a lot easier for WW fans to digest, if it hadn´t come at a time when her whole mythos was being shaken up, for the worse in my opinion. But then again, having said that, since I don´t believe the woman in the current books being written is WW, I actually don´t care.
Still would like to see Bats; Wondy and Supes in a 3-way relationship. You can tell they want to.
