WHARGARBL 2: The GARBLing

So, you may have read my post on the internet flamewar around Superman's undies.

Well, now we have a clearer picture of the outfit courtesy of the Man of Steel Facebook page.






Now, as you can imagine, the dreaded butthurt virus has so far raged unchecked. At the time of this writing, however, you can see various posters start to concede that costumes change over time, and it really isn't all that bad. Actually, I'll admit, I'm kind of in love with the new suit. It adds just enough detail and ribbing to look kind of alien and interesting, but keeps the classic color scheme and lines of the suit (except for the crimson pantaloons, of course). It doesn't look like a man in pajamas anymore...it looks like something an alien prince would wear, and that's awesome.

Also, may I say? I didn't think he looked like a good Superman as far as his face went in the first picture they released...but goddamn if the boy isn't the spitting image of the comic book Supes in these pictures. Now if only the story is up to snuff...
