Quote:
Seventy-two-year-old Superman is getting a face-lift this week in a new book that reimagines the iconic character as more of a brooding heartthrob than a muscle-bound Boy Scout.

In "Superman: Earth One," the Man of Steel is a conflicted 20-year-old who's trying to find his way in the world, bearing more of a resemblance to Robert Pattinson from the "Twilight" movies than Christopher Reeve from the Superman films.

He wears hoodies, has smoldering eyes and, as a lanky Clark Kent, wears low-cut pants and hipster skinny ties. Artist Shane Davis also made him less physically imposing -- shorter and less beefy -- than he has traditionally been depicted.


I hope this idea fails as hard as the "more international" captain America. Maybe we can metro up some other iconic characters? Thor getting manicures after a hard day wielding that hammer? Beast getting a Brazilian? Well you can not make the Batman more brooding, but how about a hipster wonder woman?

Well, yes.

So long as it's not an Elmo Superman, we're still fine.

So, wait. Earth 1 Superman? Didn't we have, like, 3 heinous, labyrinthine crossovers in order to get *rid* of that ****?
