When DC Comics rebooted its entire line of superhero titles last year, the publisher did away with Superman’s marriage to Lois Lane to pave the way for a new romance. Without further ado, we exclusively reveal that Superman’s new partner in love is no mere mortal, but a superhero icon in her own right: None other than Wonder Woman herself. Their next level relationship begins in the pages of Justice League #12.

The comic, which goes on sale Aug. 29, culminates months of flirty foreshadowing. Writer Geoff Johns hints that some event — possibly tragic — will impact every member of the Justice League, and cause Superman and Wonder Woman to seek solace in each other and move from super-powered colleagues to power couple. This is no one-issue stunt: “This is the new status quo,” says Johns, adding that the relationship will have a seismic impact on all the heroes and villains in the DC universe.

For the smooch featured on the comic’s cover, artist Jim Lee took inspiration from Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss and Alfred Eisenstaedt’s V-J Day in Times Square photograph. The creative team believes the heroes are right for each other. She’s a mythic Amazonian warrior; he’s a veritable demigod.

Both have huge hearts for mankind, yet also feel estranged from humanity. Relationships with civilians are tricky for caped crusaders, even liabilities. Usually, they choose to mask their full, true identities and hide their secret, high-risk do-gooding from their lovers to protect them. At least together, Superman and Wonder Woman can be themselves. Oh, and they’re also ridiculously good looking, too. Still, says Johns, expect the new couple to face some unique challenges in their own right.

This isn’t to say that fans will understand or support the hook-up. In fact, Johns and Lee expect some outcry and certainly some debate. Actually, they’re counting on it. ”Hopefully this will raise a lot of eyebrows,” Lee says. “We welcome the watercooler chatter.”

Poor Wonder Woman has been a virgin for over 70 years. It's about time she got some.

'bout time

That's not exactly true.

One day, Superman had nothing to do so he went to see Batman, but Batman was busy working on the Batmobile and couldn't hang out. So he went to see Spiderman but Spiderman was working on his web shooter and also couldn't hang out.

So Superman was just flying around the city, killing time when he saw Wonder Woman lying naked on the roof of her building. Superman thought, "I've always wanted to get with Wonder Woman and here's my chance. I'll nail her so Super Fast that she'll never know what hit her!"

Superman flies down and does exactly that.

After he leaves, Wonder Woman says, "What was THAT?!?"

And the Invisible Man says, "I don't know but my ass sure is sore!"

She's got scratches all over her back and she's got him tied up with a rope. They're gettin' down to some serious bangin'.

Giving a whole new meaning to "super pounding ''.

Ever wonder what Wonder Woman would really look like?

Forget Linda Carter, I talking about a woman of Greek heritage who was grew up in an all woman society.

She would have Wookies under her arms and in her shorts!

That lady would never shave!

You could probably power an entire city by harnessing the energy in THAT hump session!

Case of the Ex: Lois Lane Weighs in on the Superman/WW Romance

Aug 2012

Dear diary,

As a rule, I don’t wallow. After all, I’m Lois Freakin’ Lane — Pulitzer Prize winner, Daily Planet Executive Vice President of New Media, possessor of perfect hair. I can cover superheroes fighting alien monsters in my sleep. I eat annoying interns for dinner. I am, generally, so awesome that I couldn’t find anything to wallow about even if I wanted to. But something happened today that’s given me a serious case of melancholy — even though there’s no reason it should.

While preparing myself for another late night at the office, I looked out my window and saw a strange sight: Superman, Metropolis’s golden boy, engaging in a mid-flight makeout session with some chick in a star-spangled bathing suit.

Now, I know Superman pretty well; I was on his beat before I got promoted to VP. And even though we’ve got history together, I never had feelings for the guy. Sure, his hair is almost as good as mine, and he’s got nice eyes. They would look great even behind thick lenses. But the whole “hero’s girlfriend” thing was never the life for me. I’m the protagonist of my own story, not a footnote in someone else’s.

And yet watching the Man of Steel play tonsil hockey with that statuesque woman — seriously, she’s got to be at least as tall as he is — put me in a terrible mood.

I have no claim on him, especially since I’m already dating someone who could fill out a pair of tights pretty well. Still, seeing them together made me feel crummy. It’s almost as if — and I know this is going to sound weird — he and I were together in another life. Like, maybe there’s this whole alternate universe where Superman marries me, and he dies and then comes back to life, and also he keeps me trapped on a go-kart inside a plastic bubble.

Ugh. This is getting weird. Maybe I should try talking to my friend Clark; he always knows how to cheer me up.

More later — someone’s knocking at my door. Oo, and it looks like she has ice cream!

Lois is an interesting character. I feel like she's always been depicted as--well, certainly not homely, but definitely a plain Jane in the comics universe. It was kind of cool that this average looking woman was the sole object of desire for the strongest, smartest, and hottest guy in the galaxy. And Wonder Woman was pretty much the ONLY person who ever got Lois flummoxed, just because WW was so hot and would naturally be the most suitable match for Superman. But everybody else could kiss off, because Lois just did not have the time to give a shit about them. I admire that about her.

Anyway, it's good to see Supes getting some strange.

Comic fans wasted no time responding to DC's announcement of the Supes/WW relationship. Check out the Tumblr page.

hahaha...

WW showing off her curves and holding her Lasso of Truth.

I always thought that outfit was sexy as fuck. Especially concerning how easy you can take it off.

Amen to that. She essentially battles for justice in a bustier and hot pants.

The Man of Steel got game.

Superman and Wonder Woman Are An Item

August 2012

After decades of cavorting with human women, Superman has found a cervix hardy enough to withstand his Kryptonian seed. In next week's issue of Justice League, Superman and Wonder Woman will officially become the DC Universe's new power couple. Commence the atmospheric diddling!

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Justice League writer Geoff Johns revealed that "this is the new status quo" for the two iconic heroes. Where's Lois Lane? Her marriage to Superman was annulled when reality was rewritten, which is the easiest way to weasel your way out of a prenuptial agreement in a comic book universe.

Johns also claimed that many people will have a lot to say about these heroes shacking up, presumably because they're orbiting the Earth as a star-spangled beast with two backs, their supersonic coitus destroying satellites, flocks of geese, and weather balloons.

i'm guessing it says alot about commoditisation and the sexulisation of society...

For well over 30 years, their mutual attraction has been hinted at and teased.

The editors are affirming what fans have known all along -- Supes and WW are a perfect match.

I was gonna say... I thought they were an item 30 years ago or something. I guess it's "official" now?

According to DC, they are romantically involved from this point forward, as in a serious, long term relationship.

when supes don't call the next day she gonna hang him with that golden rope
