Superman gets a make-over as a brooding, hoodie-wearing pc fellow, courtesy of more "re-envisoning" in the Time-Warner empire. "Re-envision" is often a euphemism for "new stink."

At first, it seems shocking, but there are so many different tellings of Superman, why not? That JMS wrote it is a very good sign at least.
I'm far more afraid of the people quoted in that article -- yeeesh!
That Superman says he stands not just for America but the whole world is portrayed in this article like it's a bad thing. ?!
And Superman with glowing eyes?! Heave-- oh wait, he's always had that laser-eye beam thing. Never mind.
Yeah...I got a glimpse of the 'contemporary' man of steel last week.
Society is now so spiritually corrupt and empty that apparently even our heroes have to appear jaded and troubled -otherwise kids won't be able to feel a connection with them, or even understand what they're about.
"The light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not"...
At least he doesn't sparkle.
AHAHA Maz!
Yeah, I think we need to stop "modernizing" american icons so that our kids won't be "bored to tears."
Who sat there and thought
"Yeah, the ehole superman concept is really boring to emo-kid-- I mean our audience. Let's make him 'k00l'. "
Quite frankly, I want to know the person who was waiting for this kind of change to happen.
"Finaly, they made Superman actualy interesting, now I can add him to my collection of other stereotypicaly emo troubled characters, screw super human strength and amazing displays of justice, I want to know about Superman's personal life, and how meessed up he is because he's an outcast."
I thought we had Batman for this kind of thing.
Next thing you know Captain America will be a shell shocked cynical ex-pat living in Australia and punching kangaroos that remind him of Red Skull, and crying into a pillow shaped like his old side kick. Damn I should write this stuff down, I think I just found the plot for a new kids animated series! We will need some ethnic comedy relief though. Carlos Mencia! Gads I should do this for a living!
Give DC a call, Squirrley.
