Superman Gets Hipster Makeover
So I saw the picture and quite frankly...it sucks. I may not be a comic book fanboy but I grew up with Superman as part of my childhood and this kinda ruins the image of what I grew up with. Yes I know, this isn't going to replace the continuities. It's just a (and I quote from the article somewhat) a "hip, sexy, and moody" re-interpretation of his younger days. As you can tell, the fact they mention how he looks like Robert Pattinson kinda irked me. Ugh...how about stopping with this re-interpretation and just stick to what we had fun reading and watching? Please? I chose the Comics Icon because we don't got a head-shake one.

Seriously, what is it with these Gritty Reboots these days? Why does everything need to do this? Oh wait, people are lazy and running out of ideas, that's why. Never mind.
Not that I care about Superman or anything either though (does anyone really?) Hmm, makes me wonder when the inevitable Batman Gritty Reboot is coming (can you even Gritty Reboot Batman? Or is that too meta?)

I blame more the site than the idea itself for the looking like Pattinson compliment.
Honestly, hoodie aside, I'm interested in how this is going to turn out, about time DC created their Ultimate verse. The Nolanverse isn't gritty enough to you? |

Gritty reboot batman is just, batman. I mean he was made to be gritty, they just gravitated away from that, like with Ninja Turtles
But yea, how can you make superman gritty? He's SUPERMAN

I can't tell if he's supposed to be opening his shirt or jacket or just clenching his fists. The hands don't look remotely connected to the fabric.

Ugh. Yeah I want to try to not care about this but it bothers me kind of a lot. This is just me, but in my mind Clark Kent is supposed to be a kind of nerd's nerd - A inteligent but somewhat bumbling introvert with an extremely rich inner world (or, in this case, secret identity).
'Birthright' handled the young adult Superman pretty masterfully. I'm not opposed to another origins story per se, but... 'smoldering eyes'?
