I've got a couple myself. I'm very much into symbolism and think a few comic symbols can mean more than just a corporate copyright. I have the S Shield (representing hope and an ideal to strive for) near my right shoulder and a black batsymbol (for strength and determination) going across my chest.

Curious, I recall reading somewhere that the rational for WW, Bats and Supes being the The Trinity was that they were the only characters whose origins and costumes and such have mostly stayed the same since the golden age. If that's the case, would WW still be considered part of that anymore?

Any chance you guys could do a feature on digital comics on the various tablets? It's always seemed to me that an Ipad is just a great size to see a page completely and would give the most similar feel to reading an actual book, but I'm not sure I want to spend the higher price for one as that's really the only reason I have to buy one for now. I'm curious how the Kindle Fire holds up against it.

Fun fact about that Man-Bat: look closely at the face on the ID badge to see a pic of George H. W. Bush.

@Dracade102: The cape on Superman has always been ridiculous, but with this it's more Roman centurion. I'm a firm believer that should they completely revitalize the character, he wouldn't need a cape. It's neither symbolic or relevant to his abilities.

That's not quite true. The cape is supposed to be very resilient to damage, much like the rest of the outfit and he himself, and can be used as a shield to help protect people from harm. There have been times when he's jumped in front of someone and flared it out to block bullets, fire... things like that.

For the most part I like it but it could use some color around the waist to help make it look not so plain. Too much blue. I don't necasarrily mean the trunks as I'm fine with a movie costume not having them (comics not so much), but something needs to be there. The photoshop someone did turning the seams red was pretty good.

Something has been baffling me though. All around the internet I keep seeing people mention their unhappiness with bulge and I just don't get it. Men got dicks, and if the costume is supposed to be tight enough to show off the muscles and (ssemingly) veins it does it would be showing a bulge like that; and if the dude's packin', he's packin'. It's not really at all like "nipplegate" in that those were added for no reason and served no purpose, but at least a tight crotch makes sense given the type of outfit this is.

Hey Tony, not sure if you know this trick or not but if you want to close up those hands a bit so he can hold the escrimas dunk them in some boiling water for a few seconds to loosen the plastic up, then push the hands in to the correct amount and put them in cold water. This should basically remould the plastic into the new shape.

It's a great trick to use for fixing figures that have warped limbs right out of the packaging.
