There's a thought!

MildredMilton reviewed the Wedding Special here (Unlike me, there seems to be no grapefruit-wise ambiguity for her, so if you liked the comic be warned) and she had a line there that really made me giggle:

Cut to people getting the invitations. Reactions are evenly split between, "It'll never work," "Finally," and "Seriously?" I like that J'onn says, "I knew from the moment they met." I would actually pay for issues of Martian Manhunter if J'onn ran a dating service.

Dude. I'd totally read that book. :-) I'm not a huge fan of Martian Manhunter outside of JLA type group scenarios (and even then I like him more as psychic network/combat heavy hitter than as the center of the story) but dude, that'd be so entertaining.

A superhero matchmaking service! All the disasterous dates in one place. It'd be fantastic!

Seriously there are SO many single superheroes out there, why not? The couples don't even have to be remotely well matched, could just pull the names out of a hat and then see where that goes! (Hey, I can't see getting any weirder a romantic coupling than Power Girl and Hawkman.)

Think about all the eligable bachelor types out there without dates? Okay, Terrific's finally hooked up with Sasha, but that seems to have been put on indefinite hold, so why not get him someone new? He's handsome, rich, and without half as many issues as Bruce Wayne. Dr. Mid-nite? Sure he can't spell and goes around with a freaking owl, but that's hardly an impediment in the long term.

...heh. I suddenly had the thought that Dr. Mid-Nite and Oracle would make a really interesting couple. Solely on the basis of him having a bird of prey on his shoulder. Nah, it'd never work, he dated Dinah after all and it's always awkward dating your best friend's ex...

Okay, it probably wouldn't suit J'onn's character, but still, someone ought to run a superhero dating service! It'd be funny! (Maybe Olivia Reynolds? We haven't really seen her since the toy storyline in Warrior, but I bet she could branch out. Isn't she involved with Ice Maiden anyway? If there's nothing else many sickeningly happy romantic couples love to do, it's match-make everyone else!)

And who knows, we might end up with some workable romantic couples when it's all through! (Though it's much more fun to make the bad matches: Captain Boomerang and Huntress?)

Since the wedding kind of fizzled as a chick flick sort of event (the ending's kind of a downer, ya know), it might be fun to focus something else on romantic comedy. Or not. Still, it'd amuse the heck out of me. :-)

And hey, since gratuitous crossovers are the norm anyway, we might as well have some fun with them. :-)
