Superman's Trunks of Steel

Okay, so maybe this is the REAL reason Superman lost the trunks!

Thanks Steve Younis from Superman Homepage!

In 2013, SUPERMAN will be 75 years old.

To commemorate this iconic character’s diamond anniversary, the SuperFriends of Metropolis are leading the charge to get the Man of Steel a much-deserved star on the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame.

We believe that because of Superman’s heroic exploits and examples set over the past three quarters of a century, the character should be honored and celebrated with this Hollywood tradition.

Go to SupermanStar.com to sign the petition asking DC Comics to join the SuperFriends of Metropolis and Superman fans all over the world to help The Man of Steel get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013.

They may be missing in the comics and the movies, but you can start each morning with a steaming hot handful of Trunks of Steel!

Boy, that really doesn’t sound right…

Thanks to Steve Younis at Superman Homepage, you can get this sharp dressed coffee mug right HERE!

Trouble in Smallville

Uh oh…Lois has some ‘splainin’ to do!

Must be a goat from Krypton to be able to eat that fabric. Anyone remember “Chompy” the Super Goat? He came into the Supeman canon after Krypto but before Streaky.

Wait...what? "Smaville" Superman loses HIS trunks, too?

Just released first print edition cover, by artist Gary Frank.

So, Superman fans put up with the Big Tease for 10 “Smallville” seasons waiting for Tom Welling to don the Superman suit…trunks and all. Two entire seasons were spent kvetching and and pinning, even raising ol’ Jonathan Kent from the dead to reverently hand over the colors to a finally deserving Kal-El.

And the FIRST THING the new Season 11 “Smallville” comic book does is strip him of his trunks and give him a red belt.

Really? NOW “Smallville” is falling in line with the New 52 DC Universe continuity?

I swear to Rao, I think they’re doing this on purpose just to piss me off.

Read the article on the TV Guide WEBSITE.

Nope…even Simpsonized, it still looks silly…

But you gotta LOVE Dean’s work on this!

Here We Go Again! Keep Up The Good Work DC!

DC’s Captain Marvel Officially Changing His Name to the Non-Trademark Infringing “Shazam” - Click the headline to see the whole story.

 Does that mean if the general public thinks the new Superman costume looks like crap, you’re gonna change it back to “fit public perception?”

 Hey, Geoff, outside of this new world order of DC Comics (…in which you rammed down our throats with the New 52…), the public perception is that Superman doesn’t wear a turtleneck and he has the same trunks he’s worn for almost 3/4 of a century.

 So, because the unwashed masses think Captain Marvel’s name is Shazam and you’re changing the name of the character after OVER 70 YEARS, should we change Superman’s name to Actionman because he’s featured in Action Comics?

Instead of changing history, you should try embracing it.

Thanks for the heads up, Comics Alliance!

Malaysia, THE place for Super Trunks!

Okay, we can all stop looking now!

Thanks Steve Brant!

Thanks Dennis!

Nic Cage - Trunks of Plastic

So Superman’s updated look in the New 52 and the upcoming movie “Man of Steel” may not be so “New” after all.

Click on the title link and feast your eyes on some of the planned toy designs for the failed Tim Burton/Nicholas Cage “Superman Lives.” If you dare…

Anything look familiar? High collar? No belt? Armored boots and suit?

NO TRUNKS!

Hey DC? Just a quick show business reminder: If you’re gonna steal, steal from the best, not the worst.

Thanks to SuperFriend Tony Vargas for the link!

From the Post-New 52 DVD release “Justice League: Doom.” Even though the comics and “Man of Steel” film are sticking by the so-called new and improved blue longjohns look, the Animated features still have the Classic Trunks .

Yet ANOTHER causality of the missing trunks:

Superman’s ready to take a dip? Sorry. No trunks, no swimming.

Thanks to fellow Steve Club™ member Stephen Fischer for the pic!

There’s no school like the old school…

Thanks Trevor!

See? It’s NOT just me! Artist Karl Heitmueller thinks so, too.

He’s stated the case quite eloquently…and with pictures!

The ONLY Time The Suit Should Go Sans Trunks

Actually, I’m tempted to go “Full Cavill” and pick up a set of these!
