DC Comics Unleashes Punk Rock Variant Covers in January

De-Tommaso—Batman-Superman-Worlds-Finest-47-punk-rock-variant-cover

DC Comics is kicking off 2026 with a six-string scream. This January, DC will publish a set of punk rock-themed variant covers across six comic book titles that feature Superman, Supergirl, and more, each one a rebellious remix of the Man (and Woman) of Tomorrow, brought to life by some of comics’ most fearless artists.

From safety pins to zine-style slogans, these comic book covers channel the raw energy, DIY spirit, and anti-establishment ethos of punk rock, all while celebrating the enduring power of Superman, Supergirl, and their allies to stand up, speak out, and fight for what’s right. Kindness is the new punk rock!

SDCC 2017: The Justice League Comic-Con Trailer & The Return of Superman

SDCC 2017 Warner Bros Justice League Comic-Con Trailer
The battle between DC Comics films and Marvel Studios movies rages on. Lately, Warner Bros have been shifting their trailers around, hoping to build on the success of Wonder Woman, oddly, without showing more Wonder Woman in their Justice League trailers.... AND IT'S WORKING...inch by inch. Despite troubles surrounding their next Batman movie release, it's getting to the point where Batman V Superman is just something we don't talk about and the name MARTHA shall not cross the lips of hopeful DC loyalists. Stands to reason WB would want to put out a strong Justice League trailer for Comic-Con...and they did just that!

Six Flags Great Adventure Erects Life Size Hall Of Justice!! ...and There's a Ride In There Too!

Six Flags Great Adventure DC Comics Justice League Battle for Metropolis RideSo i'm sitting in my living room eating Honey Bunches of Oats with no milk because I am me and in my feed pops up the picture to the left. My brain could hardly handle it. It's that building that LOOKS like the Hall of Justice...right? Nope. ...It's a diorama for toys? Nuh uh. It seems my friend Michael Sprouse has a family member who works at 6 Flags in Jackson, New Jersey and he's there...standing in front of this incredible building...probably just soaking it all in like I am.

Turns out the building houses Six Flags' new attraction "Battle For Metropolis"! The "a 4D, interactive, competitive gaming adventure featuring WONDER WOMAN, BATMAN, SUPERMAN and more." The full name of the attraction is JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis, and it opens this Saturday! This all sounds well and good, but the most important question is WHEN CAN WE GET COSPLAYERS IN FRONT OF THIS MASTERPIECE??!!

Toy Fair 2017: Justice League Action from Mattel

Back into the early fires of our global Toy Fair 2016 coverage, once again with Mattel who gives us a look at their upcoming Justice league Action toy line. Not seen the cartoon yet? YOU ARE COMPLETELY DEPRIVING YOURSELF!!! I had low expectations on this project but after watching 18 episodes, I can safely say this is the best super hero cartoon series on TV right now...and more! Remember how we moan that they should just continue Justice League unlimited right where they left off because the show was damn near brilliant? WISH GRANTED...SORT OF. Think JLU with a an injection of Loony Tunes cranked to about 50% wackiness. It's funny in all the right ways, the voice acting is top notch, the art style is not distracting at all and it's got all those little Bruce Timm touches we can identify immediately and laugh out loud along with. GET TO WATCHING!! Now..onto the toys...

Harley Quinn Stars in 'Injustice: Gods Among Us: Ground Zero'

Following the best-selling INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US comic book series by Tom Taylor and Brian Buccelato, DC debuted today an all-new digital first series INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US: GROUND ZERO. Continuing the epic Injustice saga, INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US: GROUND ZERO tells the story of the critically acclaimed Injustice: Gods Among Us video game, but with a twist – fans will get to relive the game’s storyline through the twisted and demented eyes of the clown princess of crime, Harley Quinn.

The new, earth-shattering series was developed in part by INJUSTICE veteran writer Brian Buccellato and is written by Chris Sebela, a rising star in the comic book industry and recent alumni of the DC Talent Development Workshop.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Reviewed

Growing up with Superman as our iconic movie hero was an awesome thing. He had charisma, confidence, was straight laced enough to be taken seriously but good humored enough to be funny without begging for laughs. When Superman Returns was released, it was clear the film makers were trying to recapture some of that magic, but those wacky nuances of 70's/80's film are a product of their time and reproducing them in modern times, when completely serious about their impact, is a recipe for disaster. The result was not terrible, but fans could agree it was...odd. As if in answer to that riddle came Man of Steel. If the zany adventures of everyone around the original Superman were a product of the era, then Man of Steel should introduce a Superman who is at once an awe inspiring powerhouse and raw, emotional being struggling with his own morals and just looking for acceptance. It took me more than a couple of viewings to come to an understanding with Man of Steel, and while I've developed an appreciation for the first half of the film and the frail humanity of the character, the Superman I'd come to appreciate through comics and cartoons lived in a sunnier world. The symbol of hope on his chest rang true in Clark Kent's eternally positive disposition, even as comical counterpoint to Lois Lane's sarcastic view of...well...everything. In the face of adversity, Superman would find a way to protect humanity and prevail...and be damn near polite about the whole ordeal. It's a happy world, albeit constantly under siege from alien invaders, mad scientists and your occasional powered up baddie feeling brave enough to step up to an insanely powerful force for good.

Batman Vs Superman 6 Figure Pack Confirms Known Villain Joining the Fight

SPOILER ALERT!! Go no further, lest ye be spoiled. 

Some time back, Idle Hands showed off the first images of Batman vs Superman product hitting stores from Mattel. Among the items was a 3 figure pack featuring an Armored Batman, Superman and a Mech Suit wearing Lex Luthor. Now, it can always be argued that a flashy robot in a toy set could be "inspired by" the film, made after comic designs or just plain made up, but there was evidence to lead us to believe Lex Luthor would indeed suit up for a fight.

Warner Bros Releases WTF Inducing Batman Vs Superman Trailer

Let's just get this out of the way...and then I have words. Many, many words...



Let me begin by saying I loved the Captain America: Civil War trailer. I'll add I've been reading comics pretty much my entire life with most of my childhood immersed in DC and then moving into Marvel in my early teens, and while I can honestly say I spend more time loving Marvel, I can't say I love any one universe more than the other. Batman is pretty much cooler than 60% of the Marvel Universe...so there you go. Like many fans my age, Bruce Timm's DC Animated Universe stands as the highest achievement in telling the tales of the DC Comics Universe, adapted for a younger audience while staying true to the older fans. In my opinion, if you want to successfully re-create that universe for the big screen, you start by talking to Bruce.

That's not what's been happening...for years now.
