Thanks for informing me.

They've changed his appearance and it seems his temperament. In the past, Superman was a symbol of American might and used like a military asset.

Now he seems to be a superman of the people.

That is all.

Peace

Pretty much the same thing, right?

"It's a beautiful, arresting image by artist Aaron Kuder and colorist Tomeu Morey, a cathartic moment for anyone who saw the shocking imagery coming out of Ferguson and felt utterly powerless."

DC announced many of these changes a few months back -- jeans for Superman, less revealing clothing for Wonder Woman, etc. -- but it's the worst kind of cynical corporate sales bullshit. Many of their writers and artists are on the side of The People, but that giant corporation is one of the most soulless content-creators I've ever seen, or at least for the last twenty-five years or so.

Everyone in the publishing industry wants to sell their work (which is kind of the point in the industry), but at DC the storylines are definitely driven by the corporate culture in charge and not vice versa.

A small example:

Compare that story to Marvel's Young Avengers which premiered the same year -- probably the gayest mainstream comic I've ever seen (plus was well-done and a huge hit with the kids in the GSA club I run).

DC seemed to be like Disney imo. The X-men were cutting edge at the time (1980-90s), though some of the more daring narrative was scaled back and tame when they released it as an animated cartoon.

Black, Asian, gay, bi, "realistic" female characters (ie, not Wonder Woman). They were doing stories on alcoholism, drug addiction, and race riots when DC was still acting like it was 1950.

Check out the first Captain America: issue number one was published in March 1941, well before Pearl Harbor, and features Cap battling Hitler on the cover. It was conceived by a Jewish kid from Brooklyn (Stanley Leibowitz)) who wanted to gin up support against Hitler. Marvel was literally conceived as social commentary and action (in addition to radioactive spiders, gamma explosions, and space knights).

as a "darker" figure.
