I want to say that the web masters Imfanci and WonderCat who run this site are Wonder Women themselves and it is because of generous folks like them, David Schock (RIP) Djinn's Lair, the SM/WW Yahoo Group that this couple is finally getting the attention they deserve. Superman and Wonder Woman, unless you read comics, had no way of ever being highlighted in other media. Lois was pushed everywhere , even at her worse in stuff like Superman Returns, and up to even Batman came out of nowhere as a love interest for WW in the JL/U cartoon. Bruce Timm's adoration of the Batgod gave Wonder Woman batgroupie status and Superman was the dumb jock in the series. It was annoying and unfortunately spilled into comics to the detriment of Diana's evolution as a strong, and confident woman. Sending the message that Wonder Woman fancies emotionally closed off, paranoid men who can be jerks to to their allies.
The fans had little chance to bond with people who cared for Kal and Diana and had no forum to share their love and thoughts. Well, all that has changed in the last few years. For anything to flourish, it needs to be given a chance. Kingdom Come did that to some extent but clearly is not enough for fans who have been waiting for decades for DC to commit something to this couple. Not force feed us rubbish that for even Superman to look at Diana, Lois would have to never be around or he can't live without her. That clearly is ludicrous and contrary to what Superman is supposed to stand for. It has been sites like the Archive and Yahoo Group and Deviant Art and Fan Fiction.Net that has done much to make people take notice of Superman and Wonder Woman, not only as a romantic couple or allies who have a deep and respectful bond, (because DC is messing up their friendship too) but as individual heroes.
