[AYHJA]

Holy shit, Jig just dropped this information on me...I can't believe he didn't love me enough to think this was more than general comic discussion..! :hypno: :p

Here are some links to the...Event...

From what I gather, this is probably going to be more drastic then they are letting on...What I'm not entirely sure about, is the direction...I don't know how or why you reboot anything, especially things so ingrained in pop culture, without making drastic changes...

I couldn't even begin to imagine Superman taking on personality traits more likely to be associated with Bruce Wayne as opposed to the whole mild mannered CK deal...Maybe he's still a nice guy...But wouldn't hesitate to call someone a motherfucker if they cut him off in traffic...And use his heat vision to melt their exhaust pipe...Maybe Batman is a teetering addict, not dealing well with his parents deaths and on the verge of chaos at all times...Maybe the Flash can develop OCD like Monk...I'm excited..!

LOL! Those are the EXACT rumors I heard too! Because of Superman's propensity to drop a MF bomb or two he's almost as rich as Bruce Wayne through his swear jar donations.

i read from dccomics.com that women were to be wearing pants !

no more panty flashing ! :p


how the hell can they do better than this ?!?

Good, good point h2, cdr...

Although, I can't say I would mind if they had some heroines that didn't have D cups...Moderately built heroines would be cool...I think if a girl were to dress up to fight crime, she'd fight it in tights anyway...When my girl works out, she doesn't do it in jeans...I don't know why they would change that, active women love tight fitting things...That's kinda wack...

FAIL. :p

Yeah they've already changed Wonder Woman and failed if they do that to Powergirl the sales of that mag will plummet.

How does a Superman continuity hound like you feel about it all going bye bye,Ja? Word on the vine is part of the reboot is to tweak Supes enough to keep only the elements of the character DC own to cockblock the Siegel & Schuster estates who they are currently in court with again. Also the undoing of the marraige to Lois & lack of red underoos..

If Kal isnt wearing his tw's on the outside anymore we are allready a +1 if you ask me...

Call me dusty, but you know, the way that they fuck Lois over...I don't care if they're married or not...I'd honestly much rather see him have some flings with several super powered hotties in the DC universe than be tied down to an earth girl, I mean, that's just being real...

I'd step all over Lois to get to Wonder Woman, and that's a fact...Comics, TV, movies, or otherwise...

LOL!!! :laff: :laff: Honestly...I kind of always felt that way too. But the traditionalist in me will kinda miss the Lois marriage. I always felt like Supes saw Batman nailing every chick and thinking what if?
