If I Rebooted the DCU (Part Three)

With DC Comics reboot of their entire universe with 52 new first issues now underway I continue to take a look at what I would do if I rebooted the DCU.

Where I could I kept ideas DC wanted to explore in the relaunch (when not incredibly stupid like Voodoo), and even included titles I’m personally not all that high on but characters I know have a devoted fan base. You’ll find I’ve also kept far more of the current titles than DC’s proposed reboot, and brought back a few personal favorites as well.

If I Rebooted the DCU (Part One)

In a couple of weeks DC Comics will be rebooting their entire universe with 52 new first issues. Some of the new comics intrigue me, but quite a few do not. This starting me thinking, what if I rebooted the DCU?

To keep each post a reasonable length, and to mirror DC’s own announcement structure, I’ve split the reboot into four posts each covering 13 issues. Where I could I kept ideas DC wanted to explore in the relaunch (when not incredibly stupid like Voodoo), and even included titles I’m personally not all that high on but characters I know have a devoted fan base. You’ll find I’ve also kept far more of the current titles than DC’s proposed reboot, and brought back a few personal favorites as well.

New Superman ribbed for Lois Lane’s pleasure

  • Title: Man of Steel
  • IMDB: link

We now have our first look at Henry Cavill wearing the tights for Zack Snyder‘s Superman reboot Man of Steel. It’s a definite improvement on Bryan Singer’s design but the odd texture (especially contrasted to the heavy cloth cape) seems a bit out of place to me. To finish my nitpicking I’ll also say the symbol sticks out a bit too far for my tastes (but, once again, it’s better than the Superman Returns version).
