    May 2, 2012 3:48 pm I will be surprised beyond belief if DC Comics and Warner Bros. allows Bruce Wayne/Batman to be killed. And I'm sorry, I just don't see the kid from 3rd Rock From The Sun becoming Batman.
    April 25, 2012 12:06 pm Wow, that Superman piece actually made me dizzy. Incredible!
    April 10, 2012 1:50 pm I completely agree. Superman is a great character and DC doesn't know what to do with him. They haven't for a long, long time (not counting the brief time Geoff Johns wrote him in Action Comics). Why do you think we got the whole Death of Superman storyline? They ran out of things to do with him. I've been reading the new Action Comics and Superman books and I don't see Superman anywhere in them. If this is indeed their modern take on the Man of Steel, that does not bode well for me. As a big Superman fan, it feels weird not to be buying a monthly comic featuring the Man of Tomorrow, but that's what it has come to. Superman is my all-time favorite superhero. Nobody else even comes close. Yes, Batman is cool, but there is something greater about the myth behind Superman that makes him a better character. Nobody else in the history of comics has the motivation Superman has - to help. Plain and simple. His greatest power is not his ability to fly or see through walls, it's to inspire us. When I think about what Superman is all about, I want to be a better person. Batman doesn't do that to me. Now I don't mean to say I could write a Superman book better than anybody else. If writing a good Superman book was easy, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Clearly it can be done - just look at All Star Superman and Geoff Johns' run on Action Comics. It just seems to me that DC is too intent on being "edgy" with their characters than just flat out producing quality comics. I'm not interested in seeing a young Clark Kent "find" his inner Superman. I just got done with ten years of that on Smallville. As for the costume, you cannot beat the classic suit and the classic S-shield. The idea of Superman in some kind of Venom-like body armor is just silly.
    April 2, 2012 5:32 pm If anything is deserving of a Skywalker "NOOOOOOOO," it's this.
    March 14, 2012 1:23 pm They're ok. My problem is that they're all obviously in the middle of the action, yet none of the characters are showing any emotion. They're just blank, expressionless faces.
    March 14, 2012 1:20 pm I think the poster for Superman: The Movie is better than all of these. First, painted posters are better than Photoshopped posters. Second, "You'll believe a man can fly" matched with the red, blue and yellow streak of Superman in the clouds just fills me with wonder. It's truly a masterpiece.
    July 14, 2011 3:09 pm I'm glad to see the return of the web shooters, but once again we get a costume that no broke teenager could ever afford or to buy or make.
    July 13, 2011 6:27 pm I think DC is going to have a pretty rough time at SDCC this year. Between the failure of Green Lantern, even though I enjoyed it, and the poor reception to the New 52, they're going to have "a lot of 'splainin' to do."
    July 13, 2011 3:13 pm The solicitation calls out Iceman, Human Torch and Kitty Pride by name, yet Wolverine, who is not mentioned in the solicitation, is front and center on the cover. Lame.
    July 13, 2011 2:08 pm I think it's a fascinating idea and I can't wait to see it play out.

    1) What happens to the Sinestro Corps? Will it now be known as the Yellow Lantern Corps? Hopefully Arkillo (since he's on the cover to GL: The New Guardians #1) or someone new takes over (and Mongul stays where he is) and we see some real development with them.
    2) I hope it leads to something different for Sinestro. Turning him green again just for him to eventually switch back to yellow makes this development pointless, especially since that's exactly what happened between Emerald Twilight and Rebirth.
    C) I hope he's partnered with Hal Jordan.
