Pop Culture Fix: Wonder Woman and Supergirl are a SUPER COUPLE in “Dark Knights of Steel”

What do y’all think is the number one super top indisputably best peppermint bark? I know it’s sacrilegious to not say Ghirardelli but I actually think it’s Dove with the dark chocolate! Please let me know your answer in the comments so I can seek out your choice of tasty treats and taste them myself!


+ This is just about the wildest news I can think of to end this year with: The Knights of Steel version of Supergirl and Wonder Woman are A COUPLE who SMOOCH ON THE MOUTH in the comic! This Supergirl is not Kara Danvers, but Jor-El’s daughter and Kal-El’s sister, Princess Zala. The GamesRadar writer who broke the news thinks its an homage to Kara and Lena Luthor. Valerie Anne, whomst I just showed this to, thinks, “SO WE COULD HAVE HAD SUPERCORP?????” Fair question, PunkyStarshine!

  1. But that’s not Kara Zor-El. That’s her cousin & possibly the sister of the new Superman, who took over for his father Kal-El/Clark Kent.

    • Okay, she’s Kal-El’s sister, which means some alternate timeline. He’s never had siblings before.
