That picture it basically looks like the Man of Steel/Batman V Superman costume. It looks way better when it's drawn more spandex-y, but it really misses the red boots. It misses the loving red trunks too but that's a battle I've given up on at this point.

Everything is Sinister


Is it me or are they apparently determined to eliminate all trace of red from Superman's costume except the cape?

I'll be honest, I'm not a fan. But then I guess I'm still bitter over them dumping the classic costume, underpants on the outside and all.

Ollie was a Social Justice Warrior before that was a thing. And then before it become a different thing. And then it became kind of the opposite of what it means? But then it came back around a bit but it's still bad.

Finished off Midnighter. Still really good. It feels pretty significant in the current social/political landscape to have a gay couple of superheroes who genuinely enjoy offing their bad guys saying things like "Safety isn't a privilege, it's a right" and that they'd die for innocent people in a heartbeat. Made me realize that if BvS had been a Midnighter v Apollo movie except they started dating at the end it'd probably have been about a hundred times better. Gleeful, over-the-top brutality is so much more interesting than standing around brooding contemplatively.

The only thing bad about the term 'social justice warrior' is that, like 'politically correct' before it, it's become a dogwhistle for hateful assholes the world over. The rest of us just call it "treating human beings with respect"

That's an almost textbook-perfect example of a heroic figure posed according to Steranko's Laws of Action, so while on the one hand, gratuitous butt; on the other hand, Steranko's not wrong about those principles making a figure look dynamic—I kind of like it.

I like the idea of a Green Lantern recognizing hey, these rings short out/gently caress up/ditch you all the time, so let's carry a back up weapon I'm fairly familiar with. I just wish it wasn't so front and center like he's the goddamn Punisher or something

When Baz received his ring the first time, it was prone to malfunctioning due Hal and Sinestro having sent with contradictory requests. At the same time the third army was starting its attack on earth and at one point Baz got stuck in a dangerous situation and could only get out due picking up the gun. Since then he stuck with it because he didn't really trusted his ring.

Because he's an underprivileged minority from a low-income neighborhood, and as such he's forced to be associated with criminal activities. So say DC.
