Pardon my Comic ignorance, but what else has he been wearing?
[QUOTE=Katatonic717;53065729]And he should stay in it[/QUOTE] Damn right. Nothing's more iconic than iconic Superman.

[QUOTE=27X;53065991]New 52 [I]was[/I] emo superman and he sucked balls.[/QUOTE] Eh, he was pretty good in Unchained and by the time he died he was basically classic Supes who just happened to bone WW. Then they brought back classic Superman and retconned n52 one out.

As a side note, I'm impressed that there's actually 1000 issues of these comics.
[QUOTE=Krandel;53066511]As a side note, I'm impressed that there's actually 1000 issues of these comics.[/QUOTE] Action is old as shit, I'm talking like one of the OGs of the comic world from the pre war years. It isn't too surprising unless you meant its suprising it's lasted to the modern day.
Sorry this is off topic, but i'm curious, is there a way to see scanned versions of really old comics online? Doubt there's much market for 70 year old comics besides collecting do I don't think the publishers would go after it legally.

I actually liked superman's new 52 costume.
[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;53066528] It isn't too surprising unless you meant its suprising it's lasted to the modern day.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's what I meant. Anything could have happened from the day it started to today that could have cancelled the series. The fact that the comic still exists in modern day and has just reached its 1000th issue is impressive to me.
Trying to get rid of the trunks is an ultimately futile effort cause no matter what, no matter who makes fun of them, they're permanently part of his image in pop culture. Plus its objectively his best design.
but its too silly so i cant take it seriously :(
[QUOTE=Croc Shock;53067912]but its too silly so i cant take it seriously :([/QUOTE] I assume this is a joke, but i never got this argument really. Like its a legit thing people wear for a legitimate reason (IE: to hide their dink from poking through the thinner spandex). Like Pro Wrestlers still wear them.
