COMICS: A Surprising New Status Quo Established In BATMAN/SUPERMAN #21 Preview

We know that Lex Luthor is getting a new look in the "DC You" relaunch, but with a powerless Superman whose identity has been revealed to the world and Jim Gordon taking over as the new Batman, their relationship is now very different. That's right; it's time for Batman VS Superman!

So the red wraps round his hands are clearly whats left of his indestructible cape (no idea how the fortress shredded it btw..)

He clearly hasnt lost all his power...urgh why am I commenting this is the dumbest thing DC has ever done...

Who the hell at DC thought 'Superman, no powers on a motorcycle' was a good idea should be shot!!!

So instead of integrating a taser into the suit, "Batman" has to operate one with his hands. Goodness, this is awful.

I swear people are a bunch of little whining bitches. If what DC is doing is so horrible, then what would you do with characters older than anyone on this site?

@abhishake I'm sure they don't believe it's permanent but it's pretty freaking jarring. Personally the idea of a story in which superman completely loses his powers is really interesting. I've always thought superman was ridiculously overpowered and it made it really hard for him to keep my interest so they idea of him coping with suddenly being at best peak human is really dynamic. Hate the Gordon batman thing though.

I try to be open minded, but I hate powerless motorcycle Superman.

Won't lie, I dig Lex's new look just as long as he didn't have those glasses. Kind of like the idea of having some armor on and a trenchcoat over it. Badass look again minus the glasses.

Love how when DC does something different, it's hated on.

But when Marvel does shit like Death of Deadpool, Death of Wolverine, Superior Spider-Man, Bendis's entire X-Men run that's so [frick]ed up it's impossible to get into, Jane Foster somehow going to the moon to pick up Thor's hammer and become Thor; it's all praised when they are shit.

Relax people. Greg Pak is writing this and his Action Comics run has the best Superman run since Johns's Action Comics run.

At the end of the day, we all know everything will go back to normal like how everything does in comics.

I am liking this story arc, Superman needs this side of his character to be explored.

I'm willing to give this a shot, it'll be changed back by DoJ anyways. But this is hilarious.
