Elsewhere this issue we’ve been celebrated this Valentine’s Season of Love, for really no other reason than we never have before. With that in mind, it seemed to us that there could be no better way to explore those ephemeral matters of the heart than to take a look back at our favorite couples on TV — because what’s more romantic than watching TV, right?

Love is in the air and we here at Geek Speak are celebrating with a very special Geek VS Geek about my favorite comic book pairing of all time: Batman and Wonder Woman. Throughout their incarnations (Wonder Woman was first introduced in 1941, Batman in 1939) the two have been teammates, friends, antagonists, and love interests. Many writers have explored, or a better word might be hinted at, their relationship across the DC Universe. Their relationship has also been hinted at on the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoons …

Magic happens. Sometimes it’s just in the glint of the sun on the clear blue ocean. Sometimes it’s because you really, really believe it will. And sometimes — just sometimes — it’s ’cause a rotund little cherub of a man makes you …
