Since this is the Superman thread I thought that anyone who hasn't been out to see The Dark Knight Rises yet might like this, both Superman teasers.

Pa Kent and Jor-El voiceovers.

I can respect his decision to want to get into other things besides superhero comics, but I'm still sad to see him go.



But I do wonder if the Wonder Woman thing he mentioned is All-Star Wonder Woman.

All Star is dead. It's probably Earth One.

Some DC editorial / artist dude was accused of taking a hammer to his wife's skull.

At the end of some issue, there was a one-page cartoony thing that advocated the use of hammers to solve problems, with the guy's first name referenced.

The artist was Greg Brooks if memory serves. The name dropped in that "ad" is Lee Travis, the name of the Crimson Avenger the book Brooks drew.

So the Action Comics hardcover comes out tomorrow and I can't wait because now I'll have a solid book I can start shoving in my friends faces that I can force them to read. Fingers crossed that DC bothered to put the issues in order so that the Collector/origin arc goes straight through without the Legion interlude in the middle, instead of just reprinting them in the order in which they were published. Especially since that's the way Morrison intended the issues to come out in the first place before Rags fell behind on art.

I think you're going to be please with the hardcover. The Legion interlude is collected after the main arc and the book ends with the backups.

That's fairly amusing. There's a fairly large Klan presence in my state (Indiana) and many of them cling to Superman as a White Power symbol. I was lucky enough to inform a few of them that Superman was in fact created by two Jewish men. Their faces were priceless.

DC and Didio should take note that Nolan and Snyder are indeed using Lois Lane as the love interest. Because it's kind of important to the character of Superman.

It's new this year, sold out at Diamond but you can get it from DC Collectibles for $80 I think. It's a new line of Superman statues. I also bought the Frank Miller one on Tuesday and there's Jim Lee, Frank Quitely and Rags Morales ones in the future. I love them and hope they continue.

While I appreciate the effort, why do that when neither that Superman nor Doomsday are even in the N52? That should have been the AoS variant. Also nobody inks Jurgens like Brett Breeding did, Rapmund just doesn't do it for me.

Johnston is reporting that DC is offering John Romita Jr his own Superman book to lure him away from Marvel once his contract is up.

I have no idea about him as a writer, but I think his art has been pretty atrocious from his Avengers run onward (and especially with how lazy his Captain America has been getting), so this might be the fastest "pass" from me yet. If it happens.

He'd do a good Superman but his Image mini series he wrote was horrible. This will end up being as bad as everything Tony Daniel wrote.
