Green Lantern and Wonder Woman Sittin' In A Tree...

Kind of randomly, I came to the conclusion that John Stewart and Wonder Woman would make a really interesting couple.

I admit, I don't really have any basis for this. While they seem to interact friendly enough in JLA team books, there really isn't anything to support any sort of interpretation of romantic chemistry.

At the same time, I think they'd be really cute. I'm a little weird.

I think it's mostly because I've always seen John as the real crusader type of the main Earth Lanterns. Hal, Guy and Kyle are of course heroic, but well, they're reactionary. They save people falling out of buildings and fight off alien invaders, but none of them seem particularly inclined to pursue social change. In contrast, from his very first appearance, we're introduced to John as a man who'll confront a cop to protect some kids' right to play a game on the street. He's the sort to notice social injustice happening to another and put a stop to it.

He's also the architect of the group. He thinks and plans and considers. He's intellectually and emotionally stable in a way that very few superheroes get to be.

I dunno, I guess I just think they're remarkably compatible. They both have roles that on the surface might seem diametrically opposed. He's the architect/crusader, she's the diplomat/warrior. Diana's not as brilliant as Batman, perhaps, but she's a lot more emotionally stable and usually manages to keep a lot more perspective. She's as idealistic as Superman, in her own way, and also a major proponent for social change. I think they also have a very similar understanding of the weight of expectation on their shoulders.

I don't know if I think the relationship would work long term, necessarily, but I do think it'd be interesting to explore some time in JLA. Much more interesting than the umpteenth rehash of Superman/Wonder Woman or Batman/Wonder Woman sexual tension at any rate. It could be really neat!
