I'm very ambivelent about the Superman/WW romance--two perfect people getting together has all the drama of Ken and Barbie (besides, sooner or later Clark's pacifist and nonmilitary background will cause a splitup with the daughter of a warrior queen brought up in a warrior society) but a warrior god, with tormented vulnerabilities and anger issues, who keeps calling her "legs"?

MUCH better. Orion and WW have MUCH more in common than an alien raised in Kansas.

Case in point...

Wonder Woman is on New Genesis, being shown Supertown by Highfather, and is asked what Orion is doing in such a place of peace. Highfather answers, "On the planet below. Meditating..."

I like the way Orion tries to "fight" anger, that even in meditation his metaphors are violent. It's futile, but it's SO Orion.

For my money, there is ten times more chemistry, more romantic tension, more genuine emotion between Orion and Wonder Woman then Superman and Wonder Woman could ever hope for.

Superman and Wonder Woman are a fanboy's dream. But the best relationships are fraught with flaws and faults...like Orion's jagged real face.
