Can anybody *really* not tell what it is?

Let me know.

    First one! Yes! Anyway, it’s a great masthead from a great show. How can you not recognize it?

  2. Beth Says:

    I’m not sure. Is it a bird? No, maybe a plane? Wait a minute –!

  3. Tom Walker Says:

    Is it a Flying Lenin?

    One the Communist Supercomrades?

    Seriously, I’ve been trying to figure it out for days. Sorry. I’ll even use an emoticon 🙁

  5. Brian Spence Says:

    Wait, wait…I get it! I just read the hint you gave me on the other thread.

    WAIT A MINUTE! Is this a hint regarding your next project??

    Have you seen the new trailer that just hit the net?? I had to listen to it with no sound because I’m at work, but it LOOKS really cool.

    Without spoiling anything, I think it will be good, despite the huge changes made to Lois. I hate what they decided to do with the character.

    No, just an image I’m fond of. If anything, it has more to do with looking at superheroes from a distance for a couple of decades.

    The movie has possibilities. They’re definitely looking to the right source material for inspiration.

    As for Lois, I really can’t stand her in the comic books, either. I think it was a colossal mistake that she and Clark ever got married. Without the sexual tension between them, they’re the dullest twosome in the universe — this side of George and Laura, anyway.

    Tint the cape?

  10. Dwight Williams Says:

    Respectfully, Steve, I have to disagree on Lois and Clark and the end of the Triangle. I’m happy with things as they stand on that front, and I’d hate to lose it.

    Considering Superman got married using falsified documents it’s not really a legal marriage.

    Steve: The movie has possibilities.

    Pun intended?

    (for those who are not aware, there was a Broadway musical, “It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman!” which was kind of a flop, but contained a song, “You’ve Got Possibilities”, most recently used for a Pillsbury commercial.

    That’s George Reeves leaping off a tall building.

    On Lois and Clark as a couple: I thought the recent third All-Star Supes was a great touch. The final pages where Lois – her superwoman powers fading – falls asleep in Superman’s arms … as he’s about to ask her to marry him. Next page: Chastely, he tucks into her bed, kisses her on the forehead. All wordlessly, and with no sexual games. Brilliant.

  14. Steve Gerber Says:

    I’ve only seen the first issue of *All-Star Superman* (which I enjoyed), but I winced a little even at the ending of that one.

    For forty years, Superman and Lois were forbidden to marry by editorial fiat. For the last couple of decades, no writer seems able to bring them within five feet of each other without Superman almost reflexively revealing his true identity and church bells pealing across the length and breadth of Metropolis.

    As a couple, I find them a galactic bore. As two sexual beings on the prowl for each other, they were much more interesting.

    But maybe that says more about me than it does about Clark and Lois.

  15. Charles Bryan Says:

    It’s like television series that depend on sexual tension between main characters — Moonlighting being the biggest example, I guess — where everybody wants them to get together, but when they do, the show immediately deflates.

    However, I prefer the current situation to the old days when Superman and Batman would carry out hoax after hoax on poor Lois. The way they’d stand around afterward, smugly laughing at the ability of the Man of Tomorrow and the World’s Greatest Detective to pull the wool over the eyes of a love struck single career gal– some heroes!
