Superman to be made a Hipster: NO!!!! Superman has a new look, and the redrawn Man of Steel now more closely resembles a a vampiric Robert Pattinson or a sulky member of My Chemical Romance than a hunky matinee idol. The new Superman will appear in “Superman: Earth One,” a graphic novel by writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Shane Davis that retells the superhero’s origin story. While the iconic superhero retains his dark mane and defined six pack, he now has a decidedly more emo vibe — pale, leaner, and brooding. (No need to get too worked up, Superman loyalists: This new graphic novel series doesn’t replace the original comics, but rather will serve as a “reinterpretation” of his younger years.) In the words of the New York Post, the new Man of Steel “wears hoodies” and “has smoldering eyes”; and as Clark Kent, he wears low-cut pants and skinny ties. So basically Superman has turned into a full-on hipster.

    My brother always gave me a hard time for liking Superman, who he always called a “chump”, compared to his favourite...

  10. gisellefromhell said: I think it’s unfair that they labeled the new Superman in Superman: Earth One as a Cullen. How about give the title a read first, then judge it? Supes will not be wearing a hoodie the whole time.
