DC Comics Rebirth Superman Statue by Kotobukiya

It seems there's a story to "relaunched the DC Comics Universe" every other year.

No Merde' right? And when did superman turn into meatshield chris redfield from re 5?

That is an awesome sculpt but, that version of the costume is lame...a classic case of change for the sake of change.

I was hoping they would get around to doing Rebirth statues soon, but that... that looks horrible. Who's art did they base this one? Certainly wasn't from the main Superman title. I know Supes is a well built guy, but man... that's taking over-the-top to a new level...

Minor gripe: they didn't even get the costume right. The S sheild on his chest and the tops of his boots are incorrect.

Actually, you're thinking of Marvel.

I'm not too up to date on the current DC artists but the face looks like Capullo's artwork to me.

I think if theyd given him red boots and a more belt lookin belt itd have looked better.

What you just described is actually what Superman's costume looks like right now in the comics.

SPOILERS (for anyone who cares, it happened a couple weeks ago)




Pre-New 52 Superman and New 52 Superman merged into one Superman (same happened with Lois Lane), and now his costume is slightly different. Basically, it's the Rebirth one, but with actually red boots, and a more coherent belt with a yellow buckle.

No, you're not. DC relaunched with the new 52 in 2011 and relaunched last year with Rebirth. That's 5 solid years without a relaunch. Marvel on the other hand seems to relaunch every other year, and sometimes it feels like once a year...

this is even worse than the NEW52 redesign. just put the fucking undershorts back on

superman has been dressing like ultraman from the Crime Syndicate for like 6 years now. bring back the undies

i cant wait till the revert back to the classic look and we all look back on this "era" like we do all those awful "why did they do that" 1990's aesthetic

No its not. This suit at least has some semblance to the classic costume. The new 52 suit was a mess.
