Leaked covers for the Superfamily in DCNu

[schala_kid]

 

Still keeping the symbol, lost the Red undies, also armorarmorarmor boots. And that Daily Planet globe always gets destroyed.

 

Oh my God! Kon what did they do to you? (Also different design from DCNu's Teen Titans Superboy)

I am so in love with that top and the way the cape goes around her neck. Not too crazy on the bottom part and the weird boots. Also it seems Kara escaped the pants for all women policy.

You know, I really don't care about the DC reboot, but...

You just don't change Superman's costume. There's a reason it's called iconic.

[schala_kid]

There's been a lot of speculation it's because of the Siegel case.

Other people are saying that the fact they changed Clark's costume means that DCNu won't stick.

[cleome45]

I'm kind of amazed that I've lived long enough to see that stupid Spears midriff thing FINALLY get ditched.

Yeah, I'll take the little things when I can get 'em. :D

[an_idol_mind]

I don't have a huge issue with the changes, but I don't get why anyone in the Superfamily would need armor. They're not warriors by trade or tradition, and they don't exactly need protection...especially around the ankles, of all places.

[jlroberson]

BECAUSE IT'S EXTREEEEME.

Super-Facepalm

First of all, I am not against changes or evolution but I am against defiling a classic. This here isn't Superman even if they ask George Pérez to draw him.

Superman, as a Kryptonian, has already a set of epic super-powers to use and it's silly to assume he needs a mechanic set of pants or boots. It's like putting a hammer at the end of a shotgun. I think that everybody here disliked all the new looks that Superman has receive over the decades (Electric, Mullet, etc.) and DC should know never to mix with its greatest asset, a true legend.

By the way, When will all the excessive destruction end? Writers and Artists should dedicate themselves to create instead of destroying to get shock value.

I will give this reboot less than a year and that is been way too merciful.

Looking at that superboy cover is kinda confusing. Hopefully it means that not everything is solid -_-

[sherkahn]

It makes him look like a cyborg. Flesh on top of a machine endoskeleton.

[blake_reitz]

I like that Superboy cover. Personally, the direction of Conner as Clark Kent Jr. of Smallville felt pretty blah. Some of my favorite stories involving him are the trippy sciency stuff from the 90s, and I think he should be out having crazy adventures, instead of sitting around Smallville High.

[shadowpsykie]

actually... Clark and Conner were very different characters in high school. Clark was an all around geek/nerd, Conner just played below the radar but didn't dramatically change his personality much. they are both very different takes on the Smallville story.

i actually never realy liked the "trippy sciency stuff" alot of it seemed like they were just pulling stuff out of thin air

[saralakali]

Also it seems Kara escaped the pants for all women policy.

Well, she is invulnerable. If anyone can logically get away with bare legs, it would be her, Power Girl, and depending on how powered-up Wonder Woman is, maybe her too.

[cleome45]

And yet... this rationale never leads to invulnerable dudes running around in bathing suits or even super-Bermuda shorts.

Comics... comics... why must I always love you so much more than you love me?

[headdesk]

[arilou_skiff]

it's strange, but without the red undies Superman's crotch is MORE attention grabbing.

Also, I think that Supergirl does have pants: They're just a weird color.

[schala_kid]

It looks way too much like her skin for me.

[airawyn]

I actually like the art on the Superboy cover. I don't want him to be an android, though, so I hope that it's more metaphorical (Cadmus building him) than literal.

Also, someone elsewhere said it looked like Kon had a run-in with GLaDOS and now I want someone to draw Kon as a Super Core.

[schala_kid]

That's awesome! Now I want a Portal/Superman crossover.

[thehefner]

Why does Superman need kneepads?

[schala_kid]

I dunno but Supergirl sure as hell doesn't.

[long_silence]

I really hope they start calling him Kon again.

Poor Power Girl. I haven't seen any indication that she might still be around in this new universe.

[auggie18]

Massive amounts of motto on the call him Kon again.

[auggie18]

Like I said before, I actually really like Kara's new outfit. It has a slightly more alien design, but I think it works and those boots are really awesome. Wish she had tights.

[hera]

I love love love Kara and Kon's designs. That is how a cape should be! Also, if they're doing something to make Kon less of Clark Kent Jr, I approve~

[silverzeo]

Good bye Tana Moon...

[chocochuy]

ZOMG, I just realized something! That guy on the first picture isn't Superman but Superboy Prime!

His Trolling knows no limits.

[jaybee3]

Wouldn't that an awesome solution to this when it fails (and I predict a lot if it will). S-P basically remade the universe Franklin Richards style.

SUPER ROBOTS

[01d55]

It's not just Kon. They are all robots. Superman's metal legs, the arbitrary sectioning on their bodies - artistic markers of the ridiculously human robot. The reboot Super family are robots.

* Super-Facepalm *

These are the 90s on steroids?!?!?

[runespoor]

I really like Supergirl's costume. Admittedly, I'm not too sure about the boots - the knee windows are a bit too attention-grabbing to my tastes - but it looks awesome. No more stupid skirt/belly top combo!

[cloud_wolf]

Who caaaaaaaaaares, BLUE BEETLE, BLUE BEEEETLE! :DDDD

[schala_kid]

Yeah I just saw that bit of news and I did a somersault.

I still think he should join the JLI later on though.

WHAT THE FUCK WITH ALL THE V COLLARS.

[jlroberson]

Well.

That's some ugly goddamn shit. Welcome to 1994. Except not so spiky.

Re: WHAT THE FUCK WITH ALL THE V COLLARS.

[baxter2814]

It's like a horrific blend of Silver Age characterization and Dark Age ridiculousness. Holy shit! I want to see this just so I can laugh about it years later.

[glimmung]

I am pretty sure that Kara is wearing white pants.

[jlroberson]

If so, that makes it officially too busy a design.

[midnightvoyager]

*slow jawdrop*

I... Okay. uh.

Why- why did- why did they only color her lower crotch red?! If- If the tights were red, too, maybe- I don't- that

Oh my GOD, that looks awful. I can't- LOOK AT MY CROTCH SEE MY CROTCH

I don't even

I can't

wh

it

the gold thing looks like it's a flap of some sort for easy access, i don't even

[chocochuy]

Damn you, DC Comics! Give MidnightVoyager's sanity (as well as ours) back!!!

[stubbleupdate]

I just want to see the creative team on Power Girl.

And hope that her redesign isn't too different.

[kenn_el]

The gold and white thing she used to wear would be right at home in the newverse!

[jlroberson]

This is reminding me of something Warner thought would work a few years ago...what was it...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivzp9wmrcwE

Oh, THAT. Yeah, whatever happened with that anyway?

Exactly.

[chocochuy]

What the Hell was that?!?!?!?

OMFG, I can't unsee it anymore!!!

Why do you like to torture us, Warner/DC?

[feyandstrange]

Ooh, it's Tron/Superboy crossover!

And WTF the rest.

[jlroberson]

And it'll talk about nanobots or something else Warren Ellis mentioned a decade ago and Matt Fraction did 5 years ago.

[jlbarnett]

I doubt many of the people who crack jokes about the underwear on the outside are thinking "if only they didn't do that though. Otherwise I would love to read about Superman."

[greenmask]

I hope they all were, and the new DCU is directly catering to them so that everything will be slow and considered and the most earnest thing you could imagine. Everybody's trained in conflict management and they all spend half their time in cafes reading quietly.
