    This whole DC revamp is doing nothing more than pushing me more and more towards Marvel.
    I kinda feel that way, but on the other hand it has me interested in Superman a character I haven't been interested in 2 years.

    My question is, why has the shield only changed in the Superman title? Every other image I've seen (Superboy, Supergirl, even Action Comics) has the classic House of El shield.

    Wait a minute... that picture.... it's ASTRO BOY!

    It totally does lol, dreadful costume. I'm sure the comic itself will be good but that costume is just a train wreck. Rags makes It look like kevlar or whatever Batman's suit is made out of and Perez makes it look like armor :/

    this whole thing stinks of a bad idea and personally, I don't think there is any way to make superman more modern by changing things around in any way that will sell. people are too used to what he was before flashpoint. the only person that might be able to pull off this bold new, modern superman is morrison.

    I'm a bit skeptical about this whole thing. And no, I'm not a fan of some of these new costumes. And it seems a little unnecessary to take books that have reached these huge milestones and drag them back down to #1. But for all the doubts I have, I'll admit that I've never read Action Comics, and DC has at least accomplished in gaining a new reader, if the first few issues are any good.

    Most overrated writer in history... I have a feeling this whole revamp started like this... 
     
    Morisson.... "I want to write Superman, from scratch.  Make it so." 
    DC Executives....  "We shall.  We will restart Action Comics just for you.  Hell, we should just do the whole universe while we're at it."

    ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE, SIR!!!!!  I agree completely.   
     
    From what I have seen of this DCnU, it will be an abject failure.  It appears that no one at DC understands what they need to do to get new readers.  And making something current that is already timeless only serves to turn the character into something he's not.  Want people to enjoy Superman?  Don't change the world around him, don't change his character.  Write good Superman stories.  That's something that hasn't been done in years.   
     
    As for the rest of the DCU .... Well, they threw the baby out with the bathwater, didn't they?  Then they refilled the tub with mud.  God I hope this is a Flashpoint thing and that the DCU will revert after a few months.  Probably not, though.

    this has definitely sparked up from the whole superman lawsuit thing or atleast 40% of it has cuz in the newsarama interview with the editor in chief of DC he keeps on mentioning when it comes to changes that characters like batman n his world will remain very much the same n most of his old stories namely death in the family and killing joke n stuff will still be relevant but when it came to superman they were like oh theres gonna be Big changes there.....i mean why?!?! ppl lov supes as much as they lov bats then why do u hav to screw over the supes fans? and when it comes to old but important stories nowhere is it mentioned that our worlds at war or death of superman happened or reign of the supermen since it looks like they'll be rebooting superboy and theres no sign of steel,i mean those stories are very important to the universe now more than ever since reign of doomsday started,although i think thats down the drain now...atleast they ended it with a good storyline,just hope the last few issues of action the current version are really good.

    I can't wait for Grant to take on DCU Supes. Even if it's only half as awesome as his Batman, we still get the best run on Action since Johns & Donner left. (Cornell's Lex was superb too, but I don't consider that as a Superman story)

    How can you write new, interesting stories when characters are never allowed to grow and evolve? This is the problem that is facing comics today and is the reason why the industry is in decline. Even with loyal readers, if every year we get a new writer who totally ignores everything that has gone before and wipes the slate clean, we eventually get bored and drop off. The point isn't what the (soft) reboot of the character be, it is how long will Morrison's run be (judging by Batman it could be long, which is good) and what will the next writer to come aboard will do. 
     Take Ultimate Spider-Man for example. Love it or hate it, it's Bendis's version of the character and he has been the only one to write him for the past decade. The character and his supporting cast has changed so much (for the better imho) since the beginning and has escaped the trappings of regular Spider-Man, who no matter what must always return to the status quo every time a writer ends his run. 
    This will be a good period for Superman. The point is: What happens next?

    Maybe Superman and Lois wont be "split"...maybe they'll just make it so that they haven't gotten together yet and they'll retell, in a new way, how they come together

    I love how Morrison plans to make this series written away that only comics can and not movies, but how many readers really appreciate gutter work anymore.  Morrsion on the book or not this "revamp" I see as a stunt and DC is not truly paying their history justice this way.

    @waruikumo: I know morrison is a comic book god lol. he is m favourite writer. But, I hate superman. In all graphic novels he always gets the centre peice and he is just way too overpowered. Morrison has completely changed the Batman mythos to pure legendary, and I think he should stick with doing batman, because that is really working. I didnt like all star superman again, because he is just way too overpowered.
