Superstring posted:Does Miller hate Superman for some reason now? Because the cover seems to me like he's trying his damndest to caricature Supes as some kind of gigantic doofus or something. Now? Hasn't he always hated Supes? I mean he made the big blue boyscout the tool of an oppressive government back in the first Dark Night book, and that was in 1986!

I always thought the ending to DKR was a bit warmer to Supes, what with the whole noticing Bruce wasn't dead but letting him go. Shrug! Edit: More than that though, shouldn't he love a big blunt unilateral instrument of the government these days?

One wink compared to the entire second half of the book portraying Superman as a tool for oppression does not a love letter make.

Miller is legitimately the worst thing to happen to Superman in the last 30 years, and I include Death/Reign/Return of Superman, Lois&Clark, Smallville, Superman Returns, Man of Steel, Grounded, and many more in that claim.

More like it gave all the "legitimate" fuel to the fire of people who casually hate on Superman would ever need. It's basically the ultimate in confirmation bias, where if you go in hating Superman you'll feel like you're entirely justified because one of the "best" comics ever made uses that interpretation of him.

Is this the right place to ask/can someone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to pick up every hip hop variant cover as they come out, but I don't know which released today and which will be released in the future. Please help me, I am in need of help.

I don't think there is anything at all wrong with that Superman/baby illustration and in fact I think it's pretty great

He was being blackmailed into doing it, and you could see how he would act that way, not wanting to be responsible for the deaths of everyone in Kandor. I saw a lot of DKR being about Supes gradually finding his mental strength again, especially when his daughter showed up and was all kinds of badass that he couldn't be.

I like how the confrontation between Batman and Superman in the original DKR goes something like this: Superman: Hey you're scaring the poo poo out of everyone, including the powers that be. They're going to kill you if you keep this up, and I'd rather they didn't. Batman: What do I look like, a charity case? I'M AN ADULT! *POW* Aw gently caress my heart. *dies* It's a bit unclear to me how that turned into "Batman totally beat the poo poo out of that fascist, Superman." over the years.

Batman has no rear end. Also he's missing a portion of his left leg. It should show in that white space under his arm.

Here's a link with the 56 announced http://www.newsarama.com/25216-marvel-homages-hip-hop-album-covers-in-new-october-variants.html Take that list and go to comixology.com to check for release dates. And don't overpay for them. They were printed in huge numbers so at most you should pay $1 over cover.

But I will criticise it if it's awful, which I think almost everything of his post-Sin City is. (Although I do wish they would stop letting him write Batman.) Also, of COURSE he's working on a new Sin City. Basically everything he's created in the past 2 decades has been a re-skinned Sin City.
