Ok so this is a very catty entry. But with the new DC Universe looming I wanted to point out how fucking ridiculous a cape with boots, jeans and an ordinary S shield t-shirt is. Clark - get your mum to make you a new costume please. She had some sense of design.
Honestly.
Uhhh...his mum is dead in the new continuity.
ReplyDeleteLook, now you made him cry....
What?? I must have missed that.
ReplyDeleteReally, both of his parents are dead? FFS. Are they trying to turn him into Batman?
They're trying to make him "untethered" and "isolated" because that makes for "better stories." Seriously, that's what DiDio said...
ReplyDeleteOh for crying out loud.
ReplyDeleteSuperman's appeal, what makes him human, is that he is connected to humanity. He's one of us, despite being of alien origin.
Rumor has it this is only a temporary costume leading up to his new armored threads that look more like the traditional outfit he's been wearing for decades.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, Superboy is allowed to wear a t-shirt and jeans. Superman? Not so much.
Armored? Since when has Superman needed armor? graarggh.
ReplyDeleteThey've killed Ma Kent? But...but that's just WRONG!
ReplyDeleteThey're essentially giving Supes a "coolectomy".
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, thanks to the Morrison look, all I need is a red cape and I've got my cosplay outfit for the 2011 Chicago Comic-Con.
