Comment on Wonder Woman(Everyone please read)

[Batman 80]

With the recent rumor of her losing virginity, how do you feel about this issue? I don't think comics should have an issue like this in it because little kids still read comics today. I know I may sound old fashion, but that's the way I feel. What is everyone's else view?

[joshualane]

All of the other major super heroes have sex, why not her?

[thanos28542]

C'mon Hot Rod! The kids reading comics today know more about the birds n the bees than we do! She's immortal for cripes sake, is she suppose to stay a virgin for eternity!? As long as it's done in a tasteful way , no one should have a problem with it. I just wish it was Superman doing the honors . Can you imagine how powerful their offspring would be!

[nothing]

Who's deflowering Diana?! I hope it's someone cool and not Plastic Man...

[Batman 80]

There's no way Superman could sleep with WW. He's married and having an affair would be very dishonorable. Besides, if she does lose who virginity it will probably be to a human. i would like to see some kind of feeling betweent the two in the animated series.

Snapper Carr. You know she wants it

Batman doesn't.

[SilentBobWooHoo]

Isn't it supposed to be that "Trevor" guy?

[Batman 80]

I read that Steve Trevor is a married man now.

[thanos28542]

In't Steve Trevor like 60 now or is he young? How about that cop that helped her when Darkseid wiped out half the amazons a few yrs ago? Plastic man? I think she would call him a god.

Ah, but Bruce Wayne does.

[The Guard]

I don't think Bruce Wayne does either.

[Kathy Kane]

Bruce has had sex!
Talia~! In an elsewords they even had a kid!
Barbara~! In the BB those two had a relationship.
Vicki Vale... maybe.
Catwoman~!
Bruce has probably slep with all the ladies of Gotham in and out of costume at point or another.
I think in the comics, WW has had sexual relations with Superman, before the marriage thing.
Now which comic book issue has this whole virginity thing in it??

Kane

Ps. when this whole Bruce Wayne: Fugitive thing is over, maybe Sasha will reveal her feeling for him.

[Cassandra]

I don't know if the virginity thing is such a good idea....I mean, I allways assumed (ahem)
Ahhh, that is, that she, ah, I mean it's not like she's got a shortage of candidates, she's been on man's world for quite a while now, and she's not exactly a little girl-

What the heck took her so friggin long? Is she a stuck up ice princess or what? I don't read wonder woman, so I don't know, but I have to say I think less of her. I mean, I allways thought she was like, 26, 27? Donna Troy's her little sister and she's supposed to be twentysomething (I think).

Talia: Key word there is Elseworlds. They smooch a lot, but haven't slept together.

Barbara: Weakest point of that entire show. And, like ya said, it was BB, so it doesn't count.

Catwoman: Denny O'Neil, God of Batman Knowledge, made it clear that Bats and Cats haven't slept together. I think it'd be cool if they did, though.

Brucie's slept with a number of women from what I rememeber, but hasn't had sex.

[X-human]

Well, right from the get go let's not talk about the movies/cartoons for this, and exclude any elseworld stories.

But Greg Rucka has taken pains in the comics make his point accross that Bruce Wayne plays the part of the playboy very well. In fact, in the 10 cent issue that recently came out (which I'm sure most of you have read) Bruce breaks up a serious relationship (now, grant it, there can be a VERY serious relationship with out sex) with a girl he was very likly in love with by asking her over only to greet her with a chick on each arm. Anyone willing to do THAT just to maintain a mask is willing to a least sleep with one or two women to also maintain that mask. You don't ask super model after super model to bed only to say, "Oh, I don't want sex. Just a nice li`l nap with you by my side will do." And still maintain a playboy persona without wild rumor circulation that will cause certain members of the press to go digging through medical records trying to find out if he can... well anyways, as Kevin Smith's pointed out in the Greenarrow arc, super hero's get their bumps and bruiser, which will show up on any medical exam, and that's just to much information for nosie reports to work with.

He'd draw to much attention to himself if he DIDN'T "sleep" with many different women. (Yeah, that Batman Beyond episode that said Wayne and B. Gordan were a couple didn't sit to well with me either.)

Back on track, I don't think WW should have sexual relations. It's just really unnesscary.

I don't think it was supposed to sit well with anyone. It's supposed to be a bad relationship.

[pencilsharp]

I disagree with this whole idea on so many levels, it makes me wonder who's asleep at the switch at DC...

Let me start with the obvious: This is a publicity stunt, plain and simple. Now, I know that sales of WW have always been lower than the clay from which Wondy was made, and the only reason it is still being published today is because WW is one of DC's "Big 3." It's the same reason DC kept losing money on all of those Superman titles for years: "It just wouldn't be DC without them." Somebody got the bright idea that America is laid back and accepting enough that we will get excited about this. Failing that, maybe it will tick off enough Fundamentalist Christians that they will draw attention to the book, and attract those who reflexively embrace anything that FCs speak out against. There's just one problem:

It won't work.

This is gonna backfire soooo bad that heads will have to roll. I mean, the entire creative team will be off the book inside of 3 months after this issue's release, including the editor, and maybe some execs as well.

WW "getting some" is not going to change the fact that this book sucks. It needs a creative staff that actually gives a damn about it, instead of considering it to be the Siberia of the comic industry. George Perez seemed to care, but even he couldn't lift the stench enough to make other people care too.

We're looking at the death of the WW book. And that may not be so bad after all. Perhaps the time has come to put the title on the shelf, at least for a while. Maybe it just needs someone who is willing to tackle the toughest challenge in the industry, putting some wonder back into Wonder Woman.

[Karkull]

Wonder Woman can't be put on the shelf, ever. One of the stipulations with William Moulton Marston's (WW's creator) contract with DC was that there has to be a Wonder Woman title published every month in order for DC to keep the rights to the character. Their hands are tied.

Anyway, I thought that this "Wonder Woman getting laid" thing was only going to happen on the The Savage Time episode of Justice League. You mean to tell me that she's been celibate for 60 years of continuity? I don't buy it.

Well, when could it happen? It's not like she goes out every night and hits the bars. Checking out the digs of the latest place for singles to meet just doesn't seem to be something Wonder Woman would do. The chance for sex just doesn't emerge while you're fighting terrorist threats day in and day out and superheros just don't bump into other people out on the street then start making out like their ship's going down.
