Supergirls Gone Wild
A.k.a. the Superman/Batman: Apocalypse trailer, the next comic cartoon movie DVD from DC due on September 28th. I think we’ve already discussed the silly name, the sadness that we’re getting this over many more deserving titles, and the Jeph Loeb-iness of it. So I’ll only say this — what the fuck is up with Darkseid that he decides to dress up Supergirl like a whore? Is it part of his evil ways? Is he doing it to make Superman feel uncomfortable? Is he a mighty pervert? Is he the Joe Francis of the DC universe? Because that dude is pretty goddamn evil. (Via Comics Alliance)
