COMICS: DC Hilariously Trolls Fans On April Fool's Day By Promising Every Superhero Is Getting Trunks
We know that Superman is getting his iconic red trunks back following Action Comics #1000 but now DC Comics is promising that the rest of the Justice League will join him! Only on April Fool's Day, folks.
Bizarrely, one of the most controversial changes to the DC Universe during 2011's New 52 reboot was the decision to remove Superman's iconic (?) red trunks. They've been a staple of the character's appearance since day one and while they don't make a whole lot of sense, comic book fans were understandably upset when they were taken away. Now, seven years later, they're coming back!
That's going to happen in the pages of Action Comics #1000 and with April Fool's Day in full swing, DC has promised that every member of the Justice League is getting a redesign and some new trunks!
Surprisingly, this works better with some characters than others but in case it wasn't apparent from following the link in the Tweet below, this is most definitely just a joke. In fact, here's an excerpt:
The character redesigns will be an integral component in a special one-shot, DC UNIVERSE: INFINITE TRUNKS #1, following the April 18 release of ACTION COMICS #1000. The must-read issue will introduce the reworked costumes, which tie into a larger mystery involving the Multiverse that will be explored in JUSTICE LEAGUE: NO JUSTICE, a special JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK storyline titled “Unite the Trunks,” and the JUSTICE LEAGUE ODYSSEY crossover “A Lot More Trunks.”
What we do know is that Brian Michael Bendis is taking over Superman's adventures this year and that he may end up killing off Lois Lane and Jonathan Kent, her and Clark's son. Are you excited for Superman's trunks to make a long overdue comeback? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
