The Superman/Wonder Woman relationship was a very bad idea at the start, because it was simply going to be very bland; actually, writing them as "jackasses" is intended to bring some excitement to this bad idea, but, it isn't working, since the relationship is in a bland sinkhole. The reason being is practically every relationship in fiction and media has this perfect looking man with the perfect looking woman angle; the same would have been true if Wonder Woman were pared with Steve Trevor or Batman, it's not a Superman thing; plus, the thing with Superman is that he already had an angle with Lois and Lana for decades, and understandably, Superman fans didn't appreciate the abrupt change for Superman; it really made Wonder Woman a victim as the odd character out in the Superman mythos.
Wonder Woman is Dr. Psycho's woman, or someone similar; Rucka had a half good idea in putting Ferdinand there as at least a close friend of Wonder Woman, but, Dr. Psycho was prominent in his run at one point, also; DC should have consulted Rucka in terms of bringing Wonder Woman into a ground breaking relationship, provided he still had the Ferdinand and Dr. Psycho mindset; however, I prefer the significant other to be human, so, I'd far prefer Dr. Psycho to Ferdinand, but, that was easily fixed by making Ferdinand a human fan with issues with his looks.
