After glancing at the covers of the new DC Universe, there were several oddities that jumped out at us, but these are a couple of our favorites. From the Black Batman to Lumberjack Superman, good or bad, the DC Universe is definitely about to start looking a whole lot different.
Black Batman – We always worry when a new comic book sounds like a pitch for a bad sitcom spin-off. So, you’ve got Batman right, but this is like the black version of Batman. Ok, maybe, there will be more to the book than that, but even the DC Comics blurb about the first issue offers little more description than “the first black character to wear the Batman mantle.” While we really respect DC Comics attempt to add more diversity into their comic books, this seems like little more than a headline grabbing publicity stunt to make the media say things like “Batman is Black.”
