Release dates, anyone?

I will give my full support as long as its original. (Comparing Batman's original origin of Bruce having a brother, etc to being an only child who loses his parents).

Huh?

From Wonder Con, Geoff Johns:
- "What can you tell us about Earth One?" "Batman: Earth One will be out towards the end of the year," Johns said, then explaining the concept behind Earth One—restarting the mythos of characters from day one, adding that the Earth One Alfred will be gruffer than the classic version of the character, and hate wearing a suit.
-Shedding some light on Batman: Earth One with Gary Frank: "It's so early, I'd hate to spoil the exact process, but I will say this: Every other appearance of Batman he's really very good at what he does. Our Batman is not," Johns said.
- How would you describe the Gotham City in Earth One? "I don't want to spoil it too much," Johns said, "but Gary and I talked a lot about Gotham, and how different it's going to be."

Well this atleast confirms we'll have Batman Earth One this year. <3

did you see this cover. This kind of look nice

 

[Drz]

That is a pimp cover. Love seeing the S symbol getting revealed there. Downright awesome.

 

[Sawyer]

That.... is..... AWESOME!!!!

I can't wait for the earth one books, I have a feeling they're gonna be amazing. And the periodical graphic novel format? Yes please.

 

[Mystirious]

I'm worried about Superman sporting a hoodie. If he happy slaps a grandma with his super strength he'll take her head off.

 

[Sawyer]

Why would it matter if he wears a hoodie? He's in his street clothes...

 

[TheComicbookKid]

The hoodie is a lame way to make something hip and edgy.

But I'll wait to see the writing.

 

[Drz]

I don't see whats wrong with the Hoody. It's to show this is modern, if anything tries to be edgy it's the red eyes.

 

[Bruce Malone]

In before mention of emo hair.

 

[Drz]

RAAAAGEEEEEEEEEE.

Thats not emo hair whatsoever. Learn to scene boys/girls! >: (

 

[antonydelfini]

Hmmm i wonder if this Earth One Superman graphic novel can be a good source material for the Superman reboot.

Edit

 

[Duneboy]

doubtful

If he were wearing baggy pants with his boxers sticking out and a wife-beater, I would agree, but a hoodie's a ****ing hoodie. Like 95% of the US wears them.

Nah i was just being sarcastic i was assuming that was where the discussion was heading.

A hoodie with a plain white button-down shirt? No.

Ah hehe. =P Anyhow here's an old sketch of Clark Kent As you can see this is the working suit they decided to go with him. It includes the hoodie.

 

[Sawyer]

A hoodie with a plain white button-down shirt? No.

Eh.

I dont think it looks that bad...

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Eh.

I dont think it looks that bad...

I'm not hating it for being a hoodie, it's still supposed to be Superman. Button-down shirt and jeans are right, but the mixing just irks me. I wonder what job he's going to have at the Daily Planet cause it looks like something an updated Jimmy Olsen should wear.


I'll judge it on the writing though. Not just a cover.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

I just hope that this series will be ongoing like how they said it will and not back out of it like they did with the All-Star line.
