On Recent Developments in Canon

[amazing_amazon]

Yes mundane, I too am rather saddened and unimpressed by the news that was released this morning regarding a new development having to do with that new version of myself. I can't imagine ever looking at Kal in that light, or him seeing me as anything other than a friend.

Yet this is what the writers wish to happen. We shall simply have to wait this out and hope for the best.

I'm liking not being in this new universe more and more.

[amazing_amazon]

I do not blame you. The more I hear about this new universe, the more disheartened I become.

[plains_hunter]

I had to drag my ass out of obscurity to became a b-list villain/anti-hero . I shudder to think what they'd portray me as, there. I already saw what they did to two former teammates of mine. It's not pretty.

[amazing_amazon]

Well, with the exceptions of Batman and Green Lantern - and perhaps Aquaman - I do not believe that anyone has fared well when the new universe took over.

Many of my fellow sisters have been irreparably altered in some rather unfortunate fashions. Some are even missing.

Though as time passes, the more I think it's for the better, in regards to that latter group.

[gonefission]

Really? I figured he'd be somewhere on the list.

[Oh hey, it's that one heroine. Hate to see such a fair lady with canon troubles...]

There is rarely anything more to be done about such a situation, alas. Ever since the publishers gained the notion that 'any attention is good attention', all we might hope for is dips in sales and remembering that much like The Nineties, this too shall pass.

Nothing against you, my friend... but I am a married man in my world. This is shocking to me as well.

[ugh personal lives, they know how he feels about those. Why are they making this a thing?]

The less I have to hear about it the better.

[cowled]

[And Bruce is just not touching the emotions that little announcement stirs up with a ten foot pole made out of -- well, anything, really. Because he's Bruce Wayne and wat am feelings.]

You sound optimistic.

[She tends to. It's part of her charm.]

[mark_in_the_sands]

Geez, they're still mining my old stories for "new" stuff for you? Boo. Booooooooooo! I bet they--

"Super Man's new Woman"? "Super Man's new Woman?!" That's how they advertise it?! Wow, great to see how little they really think of their most recognizable female character!

[amazing_amazon]

No, not at all. Despite what many writers would like to believe.

[amazing_amazon]

[Diana stares at you, sir, for you seem nothing like the Hercules she knows.]

Ah yes. The nineties. Those were tragic times indeed.

[amazing_amazon]

Kal, you know I am the last woman to be offended by your disagreement to this.

[gonefission]

...Not at all? Colour me surprised; I thought he'd be on everyone's list somewhere.

[amazing_amazon]

I have never been the type to gossip about things like that, Bruce.

[amazing_amazon]

[She smiles softly at him.]

Yes, well, if I were a pessimist, then I would likely have been Ares' champion instead of Athena's.

This will pass, someday. Taco Whiz did.

[amazing_amazon]

Yes, sister. I am anxiously awaiting the storyline where they reveal that my mother has the ability to take my powers away with a single touch. I am sure that storyline will be followed by one in which I travel the world, learning martial arts and fighting without my powers, only to have Kal save me repeatedly.

That is what happens in our world when we are relegated to girlfriend status, is it not? It certainly happened to Dinah for awhile.

[amazing_amazon]

He was, for a very short while, when I was new to Patriarch's World. That was a long time ago. He is nothing but one of my closest friends, now, and the husband of a woman whom I very highly respect.

[crusades]

The global media will take care of that.

[gonefission]

That's an almost disturbingly healthy way of thinking.

[amazing_amazon]

Would you expect any less of me?

[amazing_amazon]

Ah, yes. Tabloids such as World's Finest would spring on the story, I would imagine.

[gonefission]

I was going to tag 'but look who I'm talking to' on there, but decided it was pretty self evident.

[amazing_amazon]

I have my darker periods. We all do. I try to work through them in a healthy fashion, though.

[gonefission]

Now you're just bragging! Some of us have issues, you know.

[He's just playing around in that self-depreciating way he has.]
