The New Universe is back, as you might know.

Actually, if there are going to be Muslims, they're going to get a taste of Batman. ;)

Shameless excuse to post a picture of Julie Newmar:

Linda Carter is often a regular at Sacramento Kings games (why? that's another thread) but she still looks *great*.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

OH, yeah! :)

From wiki:

Warren Ellis and Salvador Larocca will work on a single-title reboot of the New Universe, with the first issue to be released in the summer of 2006 with the working title of newuniversal. Very few details have been revealed, but Ellis promises to build a vastly different New Universe experience by completely forgoing the continuity of the original and writing his own world. The series was equated to Ellis' creation of the Authority from Wildstorm's Stormwatch. newuniversal is predicted to come with a T+ rating.

In March, 2006 several one-shots were released as a lead-in to newuniversal. These were all set in the original continuity, and took place in a pre-pitt timeframe. They all had the name Untold Tales of the New Universe and included Star Brand, Nightmask, Justice, Psi-Force, and D.P.7. In the same month there were also backup stories in regular Marvel Universe books featuring Mark Hazzard: Merc, Spitfire and the Troubleshooters, and Kickers, Inc.

As goofy as that NFL Superpro outfit is, when you think about it, the costume isn't all that more outrageous than some others. We're just all used to the idea that Superman wears red jockeys with blue tights, and that Captain America lugs that shield around all the time. Don't even get me started on Silver Surfer.

Batwoman and Batgirl are two very different characters.

Lesbian Batwoman? DC are hypocrites...

Gallery told to drop 'gay' Batman

DC Comics has ordered a New York gallery to remove pictures which show Batman and Robin kissing and embracing. The Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts gallery was told it would face legal action unless it removed watercolours of the superhero by artist Mark Chamberlain. "DC Comics wants me to hand over all unsold work," said Ms Cullen. Arts website Artnet was also told to remove the series of semi-naked images of Batman and Robin from its website. DC Comics was unavailable to comment.

Gotham has been attacked by Al Qaeda and Batman sets out to defend the city he loves.

I like it!! :)

Sounds to me as if they have done ther market research and found out that the only people buying their comics are adult, and I use the term loosely, males.


May also be a movie in the offering.

Obviously. And does that make the cover shown any less funny...? :)

LOL Yeah, I guess I can see that.

I always thought Aquaman was kinda gay.

So it would seem.

DC has actually done something much more potentially sick....a storyline where a mans brain has fallen in romantic love with...a Gorilla. Yeah...Beastiality, DC Style.
