With the recent announcement of the new Superman/Wonder Woman series, it got me thinking. How would a Diana/Orion relationship turn out? I haven't read much of the New52 WW series, but I love both characters and love the Greek gods/New Gods direction the series has. Thoughts?
Wonder Woman
Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8719 issues.
The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.
Diana and Orion relationship?
It wouldn't last longer than a week. Orion's only purpose was a rivalry with Superman. DC had no inention of having him and WW become a couple. I don't where people got the idea that it would ever happen.
? Superman hasn't even appeared in WW and Orion is like a regular character
Orion may be a regular in her series but so are a lot of people,that's no indication or excuse for a relationship. I have no clue why people think there is something more to it than what's been shown . A relationship with them would not last three days before she kicks his ass for being a pig.
@herrweis: probably the part where they are kissing
@jonny_anonymous: I don't actually read WW, but that doesn't really change anything. Kissing means nothing. They just wanted to mislead people.
The idea of the relationship was teasingly implied in advertisements of Orion's upcoming appearances in both WW and Superman titles/covers. DC planted the thought for PR.
Agreed. Even the kiss was a blatant PR move - within the actual story the kiss had nothing to do with romance. The actual explanation for the kiss was pretty flimsy, too - I imagine DC just told Azzarello "make them kiss so we can put it on the cover."

DC comics should be called PR comics. that new 52 channel was very misleading, saying that superman and orion were fighting for wonder woman.
I want new gods book too, there's a lot of thinks to explore
diana is better with a warrior as her boyfriend.
agree, batman or orion.
I hate her with Superman and Batman. I think her and Orion would be perfect. Wonder Woman is kind of being turned into a whore and Orion brings back the real Diana. My one and only blog post so far on comic vine is about this.

Orion brings the real Diana? that's a interesting point of view about the relationship.
I think they are turning Diana into a prize, a trophy to the stronger superhero of Earth. They are trying to make Superman cool at WW expense. "Oh look Superman and his hot girlfriend!". Some tweets from the writer weren't that much inspiring, no big deal.
well Orion is a lesser known character, it is good to WW.I think there's a lot to work in this relationship, rage/love, power from gods...
ugh man i hate that character
1.he lookes stupid
2.hes stole becka away from batman
3.hes apperently a big deal yet i never cared for him hes like the cyclops of dc universe dear dc and marvel stop trying to make a deal out of character thats most people didit care for in for in the first place!!!

This.
DC wanted to start some speculation to pump up interest and, hopefully, sales.
@awesam: So you didn't even read the comics, yet you are making contradictory presumptions. Nice! Love biased people who don't objectively read or even read the comics.
FYI it was Wonder Woman who kissed him out of nowhere after his innuendos. Although it's interpreted by some that it was a distraction to rip his man parts off, she certainly didn't need it due to her speed and many other ways available.
Regardless, it is never really focused about in later issues, so I guess it's quite likely DC just meant it as a humourous take or were simply misleading people for sales.
People who think Diana will easily harm Orion really needs to learn more about him
Dude recently survived Solar system level attack
When has Orion been shown to be above her ?
@kgb725: Post crisis
Even in new 52
But I believe a marvel dumbass like you will deny everything
Not gonna bother with you when pretty much everyone including hardcore ww fans admitted Orion is above her with the expectation of one and two
And judging your post count you are a stubborn piece of shit
Why don't he perform better against highborn then ?
Yea post count is what matters
@kgb725: Diana did as crap against highborn as Orion even with an amp while Orion doesn't got a power up
Deny it won't change the fact tho
God mode was her full power it wasnt some random amp.
@kgb725: Diana did as crap against highborn as Orion even with an amp while Orion doesn't got a power up
Deny it won't change the fact tho
God mode was her full power it wasnt some temporary amp.
@kgb725: doesn't change the fact she get stomped as easily as Orion
And the fact that it was a amp makes things more bad
So they were on the same exact level then ?
Full power isnt an amp
That's her natural power level without the bracelets. What amp is there exactly?
@greenmanhunter23: While she was the GOW yes that was her natural power
@greenmanhunter23: I guess but she had that power in her first series of the N52 and even in books that werent hers she still was GOW and was her standard power for awhile
