aww Bats and Lex are jelly, though wasn't Bats the first person to know thanks to him spying on them?

[crinos]

Also, Green Lantern upsted because he had "Dibs" on Diana.

You stay classy Hal.

[icon_uk]

At least Barry calls him on it.

[shadowpsykie]

actually i think Bruce is more upset about the disrespect "bow chicka wow wow in deed"

[icon_uk]

Yes but which one is he looking at and thinking "bow chicka wow wow"? Seems like 50/50 odds to me.

[psylynce]

I'd rather see Bruce jealous. I miss the innuendo from Justice League Unlimited and find Bruce and Diana much more interesting combo than Supes and Wondy. But then they all have buns of steel so it's win-win-win really.

[thezmage]

Does Diana's butt really need to be facing the camera like that? It seems a bit gratuitous.

[shadowpsykie]

we get a decent view of Clark's too... hmm though doesn't seem to be packing much junk in the trunk... i like a nice firm steel... ummm oh wow did it just get hotter in here....

[kurenai_tenka]

Yeeep. It's even more blatant when they have Superman posed completely normally.

[skemono]

Oooh, a Tintin cameo.

And apparently Batman hates media coverage of tabloid fare as much as I do. Once you've vanquished rock and roll, Bruce, you can go after the paparazzi!

[pyrrhocorax]

aha, good catch! hi Tintin!

[minervasolo]

Yes, that's what I noticed. Does DC own Tintin or is it just a gag cameo?

[icon_uk]

Gag cameo. DC has no claim on Tintin.

Closest would be an old "Teen Titans Spotlight" where Warp of the Brotherhood of Evil accidentally gets zapped to a parallel Earth where the world is in ruins because of the problems created by Syldavia having won the space race and a leader call "Tin" is leading the ragged remains of free humanity.

[skjam]

Apparently at least one bisexual person in the crowd.

And Lex: "Of course I have a plan in case this happened! It's just that I rated it slightly less likely than Superman/Nightwing, so the pieces I need haven't been assembled yet. Good thing I have a doujinshi artist on speed dial."

[icon_uk]

If he'd like to dispose of his Superman/Nightwing preparations, I'm sure I'd find room for them somewhere...

[stubbleupdate]

THE BRITISH MUSEUM!!!

[thatnickguy]

You know, even for Batman, that's kind of a dick move. In fact, I'm sure he'd stop someone from doing that. Blatant destruction of property and all that.

Oh wait, this is nuDC.

Everyone is a dick.

[icon_uk]

So, how DID the news break?

[superfangirl1]

Some unknown person have been following and recording Wonder woman and Superman. Cat Grant got a unknown email showing a video of Wonder woman and Superman kissing in issue one and Cat spread the news on her blog.

[icon_uk]

The person must have pretty impressive sneaking skills if they can avoid detection by Clark AND Diana...

[silverhammerman]

I do like that Lex Luthor is appropriately horrified at the idea of the two getting together.

[espanolbot]

"They're trying to start a dynasty of eugenically superpowered demigod/alien hybrids! To save the world... I must break up their relationship!"

Lex Is Jeeeeealous!

[7dialsmystery]

"This has nothing to do with Superman being my baby-daddy! Nothing, I say! All the times I've had him strapped to a table was purely for science!"

[jlbarnett]

Who is Hessia?

Still if this book changes the setup that happened on Themiscryia, more power to them

[firstmoonie]

Hal and Barry are complete dorks, they are Ernie and Bert of DCnU.

Also where is Lois Lane's reaction? I missed that one.

[psylynce]

I guess it's time for Lois to hook up with Steve Trevor

[cypherfdp]

No doubt they're both thinking "He's mine!"

[jaybee3]

The art is pretty and yet...it still seems so wrong to see Superman/WW together. They are just too much alike. And Hessia's whole "your man" line, old DCU WW would never have let that pass.

Also am the only one real-world reading subtext in there. Don't want to give the writer too much credit and yet the whole most people are so "happy" for them is the exact opposite reaction from most of fandom while the reporters whole: "You're thinking what everyone else is thinking, Jan. I mean Bow-Chika-Wow. Right? Earth-shaking. It's-" is partly why everyone thinks DC is pushing this (and them marketing the "romance" to media outlets like TMZ and Maxim didn't help) - the idea of seeing Wonder Woman and Superman having S-E-X. Ultimately that seems to be how DC marketed this. Even Lex Luthor's jailor brings it up saying "Superman and Wonderman and item. Doing IT I guess" and we all know what "IT" is. Its almost a commentary on how DC has sold this whole storyline.

[maelstron]

Too much fan wank. It's very clear of the target public of this book.
Tony Daniel already is out of this book. The news are from Bleeding cool

[drtechnobabel]

This has probably been said already in a previous issue's post, but this entire comic series just seems like DC decided to publish someone's slashfic.

[arysteia]

Do you actually know what slash fic is? Because it wouldn't be Wonder *Woman* Superman was dating if it was.

[kurenai_tenka]

Some people use 'slash' to mean any non-canon ship.

[arysteia]

And this is a perfect example of why they shouldn't. It causes confusion, and takes a useful term and makes it useless.

[kurenai_tenka]

*Shrug* I find it useful that way too, just to refer to a fic with non-standard pairings in it. Anyway my point wasn't about whether it should be or not, just that in this case the OP obviously meant it with a different usage.

[arysteia]

Yeah, but you're taking a word that has a specific meaning -- and there's no doubt it's the original one, since it originated with Kirk/Spock in Star Trek -- and giving it a different meaning. It may be useful to you, but it's not useful to the genre of fan fic as a whole, and it will mean that there's confusion. That's ultimately not helpful if conversation takes place in general communities.

And yes, it was obvious the OP meant something else, but it's not obvious they meant what you mean. I assumed they were using it as a synonym for fan fiction generally, which was consistent with their dismissive attitude.

[q99]

Rather dull for someone's fanfic, really...

[karunya]

My husband has described me as "the least romantic woman on earth", and I've never written a slashfic in my life, but my first one would be way better than this.

[jeyl]

Is there some sort of "female face time" limit to this comic? That last page looks like the comic is trying really hard not to show Hessia's face.

[lieut_kettch]

Oh, Bruce. Jealous much? Or do you wish you were the mortal meat in their metahuman sandwich?

[big_daddy_d]

Was this really necessary? Besides it somehow causing Booster Gold to be wiped from existence, what is the big deal about the two of them dating?

[donnblake]

Well, offhand, the public often makes a big deal out of the love life of say, movie stars, and I expect that Justice Leaguers who aren't actively fleeing the spotlight generate at least that level of celebrity.

That's before getting into the issue that, given their very real ability to affect global change, *everything* they do is likely analyzed to the nth degree by government experts, corporate think tanks, and wild-haired professors on the History Channel.

[bradygirl_12]

Oh, Bruce, your jealousy's showing! :)

It would SO totally be like this in 'real life'. A high-powered couple like Superman and Wonder Woman would be plastered all over the tabloids and Internet.

A Lois/Steve hook-up? Hmmm...

[maelstron]

Lois and Steve doesn't has nothing to do with eachother, just like WW and SM doesn't has nothing to do with eachother.

best part of this book is when the two are not together

[md84]

Theoretically, what would the lovechild of a demigod and an alien that is the power of the sun incarnate be like?

[thanekos]

I don't know the answer, but I'm sure the question's guaranteed the complete funding of at least the next ten anti-superhuman initiatives.
