WCW had the icons for a while while WWF was pushing the limits of the obscene for ratings.

While I certainly don't see Superman turning Hollywood Hogan on us (for those who get the references ) I really do see some similarities. Everything in WWF was just build up to the next soap opera story line *cough*Marvel event*cough* back then.

Sorry guys not sure where I'm going with this, guess nostalgia was kicking in.

That's exactly what I was alluding to. I've said this before, DC is like the WCW of comics and Marvel is the WWE/WWE with Vince Russo at the helm. Everyone knows Hulk Hogan (Superman) and Macho Man (Batman) but most people feel like Stonecold Steve Austin (Wolverine) and Shawn Michaels (Tony Stark) were "cooler". New 52 feels like the entire DC Universe has gone post-nWo, ie: the Vince Russo WCW era adding more smut and obscenity to get attention. I can't help but feel like DC is screaming "Come over here, guys! We're cool, too! See? We've got boobies and cocaine here, too!!!" and it's kind of pathetic.
