The Batman and Wonder Woman Blog

Progress on the main site

2010-08-26T14:43:00.000-07:00

Making some progress on the main site. I hope to have everything back in it's place by the end of this weekend. I have some new stuff to post so be on the look out.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold 16

2010-05-22T19:57:00.000-07:00

I don't have any scans available, but there are a few Batman/Wonder Woman moments in the sixteenth issue of "Batman: The Brave and the Bold." You can read the preview here.

Site redesign

2010-02-11T08:10:00.000-08:00

Yet another site redesign. This was mostly to make the site easier to navigate and way easier for me to keep updated. It's still a work in progress though.

I forgot to mention that you can also comment on your favorite moments and images on the site now.

Some BMWW Scraps

2009-12-17T19:19:00.000-08:00

So, it's been a while since I last posted. There hasn't been much Batman/Wonder Woman happening lately. But there has been some.

From Batman #687, Superman and Wonder Woman meet up with Alfred after Batman's death.

From Wonder Woman: Blackest Night, we see her list Bruce among the dead she regrets. (Ironically, he's actually the only one still dead.)

And from Batman: The Widening Gyre, when Bruce informs Arthur he has a girlfriend (Silver St. Stone for inquiring minds), Arthur wonders if the girlfriend is Diana. (Presumably because that's the only girl he's ever seen him with, but whatever.)

And, no, I have no idea what's with Bruce's face there. It appears to be melting.

Featured Fan Fic

2009-06-14T21:13:00.000-07:00

It's time again for another featured fan fic! I particularly like this one because I always like the reactions that people give Diana when Batman passes.

Redux by Alli Snow

Tagline: It's difficult adjusting to a death. Especially when it's your own.

First 2 paragraphs:

Redux
Part I

"Death resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people."

"... and appropriately, the service was held at night. Commissioner Gordon gave the eulogy, where he called Batman "Gotham City's greatest hero" and said that "he was a force for justice when the long arm of the law proved too short". You may recall that Gordon was often criticized for excessive reliance on the vigilante, but tonight he gave no apologies and even referred to Batman as a friend.

"The memorial was open to the public, yet few prominent citizens made an appearance. Philanthropist Bruce Wayne released a videotaped statement mourning Batman's death in... his own way, calling him a "necessary evil" and expressing assurance that the city will "remain calm in the face of this loss". However, in contrast to this position, Mr. Wayne has reportedly left Gotham for the remainder of the month.

Should I create a more adult section for the image archive? I come across a lot of fan related images that do involve our pairing, but currently do not have a suitable place for them. Nor do I know if that is something people would want.

Assorted Scans

In honor of my not having posted in a while, I present the following slew of posts:

I also bring the admonition that if you haven't seen the Wonder Woman movie yet, that's probably a good thing. I facepalmed so much that a bruise almost formed on my forehead. What the movie needed, of course, was some BMWW. Sadly, Bruce Timm has yet to learn to stick with a winning thing.

Archive is moving

2009-02-01T16:15:00.000-08:00

Again? Yes again. Sorry to inconvenience you all yet again, but an opportunity presented itself that couldn't be past up. AS you know I moved the archive from the homestead account because that was costing me. So I hosted on webs because it was free. It also lacked a lot of features. So the person running capesandtights.com offered me a place under that banner and I am happy to accept. I've already uploaded the site over there so the new address is bmwwarchive.capesandtights.com.

I'll be keeping tabs on both the webs site and the new site for the immediate future but I'll begin phasing out the webs site eventually.

Thanks for sticking with me on this.

JLA: Soul War

2009-01-04T13:14:00.001-08:00

One of the most annoying things about the couple is that their relationship is so frequently portrayed between the lines. They don't get nearly the love they deserve. For example, Soul War has exactly one page of relations between Batman and Wonder Woman. However, I really like the page, because I believe it illustrates one of my favorite aspects of the couple, which is basically that Diana never takes Batman's crap.

'Tis The Season

2008-12-29T15:15:00.000-08:00

Well, technically, it's a bit late for Christmas gifts, but it's always the season for BMWW fanart. Right?

And a little New Years present.

And a happy new year, hopefully full of many BMWW things.

2008-12-16T20:30:00.000-08:00

Ok, some very, very short scenes from JLA: Another Nail. I wish there was more, but we take what we can get.
Here's Diana missing Bruce...

And here is Diana being the happiest person to see him back. Well, that's what my ship-vision goggles tell me, anyway.

I've been meaning to post this for a while... But never have. This is a very cracky BMWW piece, so be warned. It seems like it would be excellent fodder for a fanfic, in case anyone's searching for ideas.

Hopefully, there will be some real BMWW stuff to post soon. Trinity is supposed to get the big three back soon, so let's all keep our fingers crossed.
Also, the JLA is supposed to appear in Wonder Woman #28, so we might get something there, too. Sadly, that's not coming out until January, but patience is supposed to be good for the soul.

BM/WW in the Dec. 2008 issue of Penthouse

2008-12-11T13:09:00.001-08:00

They interviewed a few people in relation to fan fiction involving Batman getting it on with the ladies. Well it just so happens one such person was Meljean Brook or Ugly Girl, which is the name she wrote all her fan fiction under. If you haven't read her work you're doing yourself a disservice. There's a few paragraphs talking about the Ship and about Meljean's success as a novelist. If you are of age you should try to find the article somewhere.

As you may have noticed there is a new section on the Image Archive called Fan Art. Well, I've added a new sub forum where anyone and everyone can post their fan art or link me to something they think I should see and I'll put it in our new Fan Art section.

I've even posted a bit of my own fan art about our favorite pairing.

Well spoken words by Icha on the batmanwwarkham2 yahoo group.

Hi all,

Just wanna explore some epiphanies I have recently about the lack of BatWondy romance in DC comics and also animated version (naturally). Seems that, although the last two years have been GREAT for Wonder Woman fans with Gail Simone on board, but BatWondy fans are left low and dry. And now with the convoluted Batman RIP arcs, we have Heart of the Hush with Batman-Catwoman romance as the central theme.

Had I learned about this HoH three years ago, I would be very agitated and annoyed with that. Now... I'm a bit down because - again - DC has ditched away the potentials of BatWondy stories, understandably from editorial and historical POV. But I also realise that in another story, there's Trinity and the obvious special bonds between Bruce Wayne/Batman and Diana/Wonder Woman. It might not be romance per Bruce/Selina now, but the bonds are there, the trust is there.

I guess what I wanna say here is a fair analysis of what's going on in DCU. That... I can see why many ppl are interested in Bat/Cat romance. It's just thrilling, full of lust and passions, and also potentials for noir stories a la Bat books (but again, BatWondy can also create noir stories a la Gods of Gotham...). Selina Kyle is feisty, independent, and very sexy, and her on again off again romance with Bruce is...addicting. And perhaps Hush is right. Compared to Bruce's other women (Talia, Jezebel, etc etc, even Zatanna), Selina is actually top score. She does hold a special place in Bruce's heart. And my recent affinity to this Kitty makes it easier for me to accept it. Heh, I even might like the Heart of Hush storyarc later on.

But there's a hole there that Selina might not be able to fill in properly. Trust and belief. A higher beacon in life for Bruce, and that is provided only by Diana. And Diana is not just another woman, or a superhero freak or whatever words Paul Dini/Hush said about Batman's female colleagues. This particular role of Diana's are clear in Trinity comics and also Gods of Gotham (again, my Bible. Praise Jimenez). Diana is Bruce's beacon, and whatever happens, it stays that way. That's why Bruce was angry when Diana killed Max Lord; that's why he told her to get out of his cave, while he easily accepted Selina killing Black Mask (who deserved it anyway). Diana is and always be Bruce's beacon, and he can't afford that beacon to fade away. He needs her, like it or not.

I believe that a popular culture can have its own life. How else can we explain the persistence and survival of several comic characters while other older characters faded away? Inexplicably, only in recent decade (starting from 30 years ago actually, counting the pre-crisis Brave and the Bold series), BatWondy romance emerges as the strongest (dare I say) contender towards the 60s years of BatCat romance. Perhaps because this collective comic awareness called Bruce Wayne/Batman finally needs to channel and compensate his darkness through the not-so-fictional entity called Diana of Themyscira, the Wonder Woman. He needs her light to get through, to bring back and retain his humanity. Was it not Diana who was with Bruce in Nanda Parbat when he was in seclusion post Infinite Crisis? And though I was annoyed with Alan Heinberg's utter lateness in delivering WW comics during his run, he got at least one thing correct: Bruce's and Diana's strong bonds. Didn't Batman say, "Use the lasso on me if you don't believe me. They love you, Diana. They always have. Because that's what you inspire in anyone who's ever met you. That's what makes you powerful than anyone." during the latest WW Annual?

Batman and Bruce Wayne loves Selina Kyle the Catwoman. I can accept that now. I find it romantic and passionate, even. But I also realise now that Batman and Bruce Wayne also loves another woman, and - dare I say - that love surpasses his eros love for Selina. That pure unadultered love is reserved for Diana of Themyscira, the Wonder Woman, whether she's now with the lame Nemesis or being a happy single warrior of peace.

And I can't say that I'm unhappy about it. It places Diana in a special place in Bruce's heart, reserved only for her. If Catwoman dies, Batman will be broken hearted, no doubt. But if Wonder Woman dies, the Dark Knight will lose his anchor. And that's a fate worse than death.

Do my ramblings make sense?

Icha
