Years later, under the pen of writer Joe Kelly, Supes and WW were trapped in another dimension somewhere on some adventure, they were stuck there for what seemed like years to them but was a few days for us -- there, Supes was tempted to get together with WW but they both stopped themselves since Supes is a married man. Kingdom Come has them consumating the sexual tension since Lois had croaked in that timeline.
I actually have this comic. WW and Supes were trapped in Asgard for a thousand years. Thor recruited them to fight in his war against the giants. While in Asgard, WW and Supes are the dream team of warriors, fighting in perfect synchronicity. Years pass and they do not know if they will die in Asgard, or if they can find a way to leave on their own (Thor made some vague promise that once the war is over, he'll restore them to their world). Anyway, during their time in Asgard, Wondy and Supes grow quite close. Supes becomes increasingly attracted to WW. On the night before their final battle with the giants, Diana visits Clark, who is lying in bed under the covers. The two talk, share a moment of silent UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension) and then Supes apologises and mutters something about Lois being his one and only. That even if she had died and/or moved on (remember, for them a millennia had passed in Asgard and they had no idea what was going on Earth) he couldn't/wouldn't stray from his marriage vows. He then says he loves Diana, she says she loves him too. They embrace and Diana kisses Clark on the cheek. The next day, they kick the Giants' asses. Thor keeps his promise and sends them home. Clark immediately seeks out Lois and discovers that only a few hours have passed on earth.
So Diana to Clark is like that female friend who you always sort of wondered about getting together with but ultimately felt you'd be better being just friends. At least, that's how DC has presented it thus far.
Not exactly. After the success of Kingdom Come and The Kingdom (the sequel to KC), DC started to heavily hint that Clark and Diana would become a couple in the main universe. The Supes, WW, and JLA titles had them flirting, sharing longing looks, and Supes being a bit jealous whenever he felt Diana was potentially interested in another man. There was also a slew of Elseworlds titles that had them as an established couple and/or becoming a couple. There were even a few that portrayed them as parents. Once DC milked this particular cash cow dry, they, of course, decide to retcon the attraction away. About a year or so ago, in a Superman comic, DC editorial had Diana say she loved Clark - but like a brother. And if memory serves, once Rucka took over the WW title, he gave an interview and said pretty much the same thing - that WW and Supes have a brother/sister type love for one another. |
