I read your article and I have a few things to say about it.

Firstly, everything you said about Superman being grounded by being attached to Lois Lane is absolutely true. That said, it doesn't make it a bad thing, that he's not with her anymore.

If it was the original universe, I would agree. But what is the point of a new universe, with a new superman, that is exactly the same as the old one? I am interested to see how this new superman, without that humility and humanity he gained from his relationship with lois, handles himself in different situations.

As for labeling Wonder Woman as "just superman's girlfriend", I think it's unfair to do so until we can actually see her role in the relationship. I don't think it's fair to say it diminishes her role as a strong, independent woman just because she has a boyfriend.

I mean if she's in an apron making superman a sandwhich next issue, then yeah, sure. I'mn going to wait to see what her role in the relationship is. It's very possible that she will indeed end up being portrayed as "just superman's girlfriend". It's also possible, however, that she will be presented as an equal in the relationship. I feel we could get some good stories out of that.

I guess I've always thought that alternate universes were exactly the place to try stuff like this. We all know that the original DCU will return at some point. So I don't see the harm in trying different stuff. If it works, great. If it doesn't, well no big deal. No harm done.

I also hate this knee jerk reaction, that comic fans have toward stuff like this. When the Winter Soldier was revealed as Bucky, I must have had 20 conversations where I said "Let's just wait and see how it's written". But everyone ignored me and called out bloody murder for this "blasphemy".

Then what happened? The Winter Soldier story, and the entire run for that matter, became one of, if not the best Cap runs in history.

Any concept, no matter how much it seems it won't work, can be turned into a great story with the right writing. I absolutely refuse to condemn a decision until I see how it's written.
