    I hate that Superman's relation with Steel is so similar to Iron Man's relationship with War Machine. This only blurs that line even more lol

    So steel is now just a combined ripoff of Iron Man and Cyborg (at least in his design)

    edit - oh how could I forget..and Thor

    And once again, Dc has a black man with a shaved head look. Don't they realize that having 98% of all their black males bald is coming off as a sterotype?!? It's not realistic.

    I know change is suppose to be good but I'm not feeling this new look. I like the old look of him having a suit the seemed like metal skin.

    @FadeToBlackBolt: It's not suppose to be a monocle but it's drawn that way. It's a targeting array like Deadshot has.

    @Miss_Garrick: 98% seems like a hyperbole. Steel has always been bald though. How many bald black superheroes are present in the new DCU? Terrific has hair. Static has hair. John Stewart has hair. Was bald in DCAU.

    @cagedleo730: You're right, I forgot that Steel was always bald. But a few years ago, John Stewart was bald in the comics as well as the cartoon, and Black Lighting and Tyroc were as well and the timing for many DC black males to be bald at once just bugged me then. I'll have to check the New DC so I won't come off as hyperbole.

    Nice! John Henry Irons is one of my favorite DC characters and Morrison has shown a number of times that he has a great handle on the character. Of tomorrow's batch of comics, this is the one I am most excited about.

    Ah mah gosh! STEEL! Pretty cool but he looks a little too Cyborg for me. Hopefully if they keep him around they do a costume remodel or something, who knows.

    The Pre-Flashpoint Steel looked better, this new Steel look looks like Cyborg & Metallo looks like he's possessed by Brainiac or something.

    Steel reminds me too much of how Cyborg was when he came out the first time.

    I love his New 52 version. Probably one of my favorite versions of him, actually
