DC: New Frontier - Superman

Dc Direct Superman from Darwyn Cooke's DC: New Frontier. One of my favorite versions of the character. Dc Direct really did a fine job capturing the style of the comic.



While I do have several Superman items in the collection, I am not as big of fan as some. Superman in some media comes off as too perfect to me, that said when the first Superman movie came out starring Christopher Reeve back in the day, I thought that was the best, and still is, representation of the character! Also I like Mr. Cooke's take on the character. To me Superman has always stood for what man should strive to achieve, Batman is what man has to be. It's that idea that I like about Superman.

Little Green Lantern Premium

Anyone else go pick up the New Frontier on DVD the day it came out? I'm such a huge fan of Darwyn Cooke's art that I couldn't wait till this movie was released. As a bonus I picked up the Best Buy version with the little Green Lantern figurine in the package. At first I was going to pass on the "collectible" figurine, but being the same price as the DVD without it, I figured what the hey!

It has some articulation, arms and head move, and comes with a tiny Green Lantern that he can hold, or you can remove from his hand to pose without it. The stand is permanently attached to his feet, but if you were so inclined you could remedy that with an x-acto.

It sort of reminds me of the old green army men, with some extra paint. I kind of wish that DC Direct would release a series of these in Cooke's style, not just of the JLA, but of some of the soldiers and civilians of the movie. Though I'm sure they would end up costing more than the green army men of old.

It's getting closer...

I cannot wait for this DVD to be released. And according to various sources it's going to have a regular version and a two disk version with extras! Click on each of the pics to go to DC Comics New Frontier Page and the Warner Home Video Page.

That is all.

The New Frontier!

Okay this is a rare time that I will post a video, I like to see videos in blog, just not sure everyone else does, plus sometimes I think it gets abused.

Now that I've said that... Holy Crap! New Frontier coming Spring 2008!
