      Unlikely to ever happen .... BUT you have to admit it's very convenient he just happens to be in place (and is all DC's). Perhaps a "last resort" insurance policy for them ...

        Hope you're right, but the timing has me wondering. We'll know for sure if/when an announcement is made re: the next Superman flick by 2011.

        Otherwise - it's a bird! It's a plane! It's MON-EL!!!!

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

            For those who arent old enough to remember, Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes was one of the first "modern" comics DC did way back in the early seventies. It was the early-mid seventies equivalent of the eighties Teen Titans book, as it featured some of DC's best art and writing and was very popular during that time.

            I always liked the stories that did feature Mon-El, and liked his costume as it was.....This version does sound like a "back up" as Timothy2251 has mentioned!!!

              And for those even older than the Captain (like me, LOL), Mon-el actually premiered in Superboy #89 back in June of 1961 (I was 3 at the time, so I didn't read THAT one real time, LOL!)

                  Looks like he's wearing longjohns to me. Is there a flap in the back?

                    I like it too. I used to experiment with my coloring books as a kid and try to give Superheroes new "looks". It's not perfect, but I like the costume alot.

                      Looks like they took everything distinctive about Mon-El's look (the high collar, the tunic flaps below the belt, the puffy sleeves) and dropped it in favor of a body suit with the same color scheme.

                      Oh and that left breast "S" symbol makes me think of 70s Supergirl. Please don't put him in hot pants!

                            Not been reading the Superman titles...Is there a particular reason for the 'S' symbol on his costume? If it's suppossed to be a tribute kinda thing, wouldn't it make more sense on his upper sleeve a'la sports teams etc?

                              That's almost as bad as the Cosmic Boy Chipendale's outfit. I quite like the old outfit. It has a nice military look to it. DC should play that up and loose the blue trunks. Instant update.

                              I'm not a big fan Superman so whatever DC can do to get my attention is appreciated.
