Batwoman's new look has been designed by artist Alex Ross Comic book heroine Batwoman is to make a comeback as a "lipstick lesbian" who moonlights as a crime fighter, a DC Comics spokesman has confirmed
Now that is just WRONG.
Believe it or not, the only thing I did to that cover was take off the word balloons. Superman was supposed to be revealing his secret identity to the boy, and the boy didn't believe him. I have trouble believing the other implications were accidental.
Have you actually read Wertham's book? It reads like a leftist manifesto.
His whole crusade was "for the children," after all.
LOL!! You forgot: "...and a flannel shirt".
DC did a rediculous story line where Lex Luthor became president during Bush's firs term...the message DC was trying to send was unmistakable
Your timeline is a little off. The facts don't fit.
Luthor was elected in a book that went on sale in November, 2000. It was cover-dated January 2001, but the cover date on comics is two months after it hits the shelves.
Besides, such a storyline would have to be in the works for months. They couldn't possibly have had any such "message", unmistakable or otherwise.
At the time the writers started, they couldn't have known W would be elected. At the time the book was printed and shipped to retailers, they couldn't have known W would be elected.
Heck, when the book first went on sale, the election was still in dispute. DC could well have been sending a "message" about algore, for all they knew.
