Superman Debuts a New Look

DC comics unveiled its made over Superman in today's New York Post. The 72-year-old iconic comic still has his six-pack, but features a brooding, new look that's more reminiscent of Robert Pattinson than Christopher Reeve.

Superman's new look will be featured in "Earth One" graphic novels, which portrays classic comic book characters in the present day. The $19.95 hardcover, out in comic shops on Wednesday and book stores Nov. 2, is aimed directly at the youth market.

"We wanted to tell a story that's hip, sexy and moody," DC Comics' co-publisher Dan DiDio told the Post. "We wanted to show a younger Superman at the early stages of his career, struggling with his identity and his place. He realizes he doesn't belong anywhere and doesn't fit in."
