I Ching tells Diana she needs to have some fun and he suggests she needs to date. He gives her an application form for a computer dating service. Clark Kent is also given an application form by Perry White because he wants him to do it for a news story. Clark is very skeptical but he does it anyway since it is work related. A few days later Diana is about to meet "the man of her dreams."
Turns out she knows this man. And he knows her.
It's a little odd their interaction as if they never worked closely before. It does feel off. Like two strangers meeting when in JLA they are always together and touching and giving each other soulful looks. Anyway they decide they'll go on the date and see how it goes.
Of course they are mugged and Diana shows that she can take care of herself.
After Diana deals with the muggers, they get sucked into the future and meet a Supercomputer than tells them that it was the reason they got matched up, since they are two most perfect and extraordinary beings on the planet and they had to save a man from dying in a riot; and if they didn't the earth would become a mass waste land due to war and pollution. Seems it can send out probes in the time stream and it implanted the thoughts of the blind date in I-Ching and Perry White's minds to get Clark and Diana together. Hmm, all that just to facilitate a blind date and some cuddling? They could have just shown me a whole issue of cuddling. I would not have complained.
It's an attempt, I guess, to highlight social causes and use some troupes in Time Travel. Have We Met Yet? Bad Future. Even Star Crossed Lovers. They stop the riot and Diana does manage to hold her own despite being just a normal woman but Superman still has to help her out when she is shot at. So after the dust nearly settles, Diana admits that she wouldn't mind getting to know him better. He is clearly not minding the idea seeing he wants to lay one on her. Now as to why they shouldn't? Beats me. They not with anyone. Both single and in their primes. So what is the problem? The noose of Lois and Steve, I assume, who never let anything stop them from dating when they were single. But DC must keep Superman and Wonder Woman guilty for acting like a normal red blooded man and woman. Oh, as to whether they managed to save that savior guy when they quelled the riot? Well, seems the future is unwritten and they won't know until it is too late.
He should have kissed her here!
