Earth One

[Langsta]

Batman and Alfred look so badass. Alfred kind of looks like Allan Quatermain. Superman looks alright I guess.

Maybe they're calling it "Earth One" because it's like "Year One" except not in the mainstream DCU.

I kinda find it annoying the big promo pic for Superman is an angry guy in latex body armour destroying a city street.

Dude, the street was giving cars flat tires from it's numerous potholes. Superman was just showing the street whose boss.

How do you know he's destroying it? Maybe he just landed. YOU NEVER KNOW!!!!! :crazy:

It's true. That street is a total dick.

It got what it deserved.

Well yeah. He's patriotic, how else do you think the American government staged 9/11? It was superman. Notice he wasn't there to stop the planes yet clearly he can travel around the world so fast it reverse time. That's because he was there, He was punching the ground at the right strength speed and angle to send shock waves across the floor and collapse the buildings.


Duh!

He has totally just landed.

And since Superman can land without destroying a city street, I assume he's a dick and/or bad-ass. Both of which are, big Superman traits.

That's...... just so wrong. so wrong.

Read The Boys yo.

Not this Superman!

BOLD! NEW! DIRECTION!

 

[Bass]

DC should hire you for their publicity. I am now excited about this new floor-punching Superman.

 

[Random]

Are you kidding? If I had Superman powers I would do that all the time. It's just too bad ass not to.

But wait! There's more! This new Superman is also here to impregnate all our women, because someone told Jor-El Earth girls are easy.

His new catch phrase is "Truth! Justice! And beating Wilt Chamberlain's record!" (Which incidentally, is an exact synonym for his original slogan!)

 

[Bass]

Who would've thought floor-punching was so attractive to women?

Earth One OGNS to no longer be OGNs?

Confusing.

Confusing.

Wow. That IS confusing.

These companies aren't broke or operating on a shoestring budget. They can afford to experiment a little and not live and die by preorders.

JMS made a mistake (and might be an idiot).

Although Amazon has it as November 2, 2010

Comic shops get books on the published release dates - Amazon and brick & mortar stores always get them a couple or so weeks later.

JMS made a mistake (and might be an idiot).

It didn't sound too much like backpddling, so that's good. Glad they're sticking with the original plan.

This really is how the Ultimate line should've been done.

 

[DIrishB]

I only recently learned of the Earth One books, and I'm ecstatic. This is what I've been waiting for DC to do for the past 7 years, since I started reading Ultimate Marvel. A series of self-contained graphic novels is smart (as opposed to an ongoing or series of ongoings), as each story stands on its own merits, but the fact that the universe is shared (meaning events in one could have an impact in the other) is what really has me excited.

I'll definitely be picking these up as they're released. And JMS writing Supes, and Gary Frank drawing Batman? Where's the line start?

 

[Zombipanda]

The preview of Superman makes it look kind of stupid.
