I just don't like the way Superman is portrayed in the New 52.He himself is Superboy to me.I prefer the more "adult" version of the old continuity.

agree with this for sure.

@DEGRAAF: i actually DO NOT want any kryptonian powers for superboy.imo kon is the new 52's new Damage,grant emerson had all the genetic and power potential of both the JSA and JLA,BUT he didnt have all their powers,he had his own very impressive powerset,and had endless power potential.imo kon is like this,but with only three donors,and the solicit for #19 seems to be implying he is more than just a clone,and "birtthed",it could mean anything.

i like his TTK,either in a limited direct contact way,or in the most powerful version where the user feels and senses everything around them,and can manipulate it accordingly.

I would rather him just have his power set he had before H'EL on earth too. I just dint like in previous incarnations that he couldn't fly. I've actually really really enjoyed Superboy in the New 52

SUPERBOY has surprisingly been the most fun of the Super Family books during this crossover. And I love the art for this preview! ~ Hype

So dumb... so .. dumb

@G-Man: Makes a lot of sense to me.

I think they should have went with a variation of The Arctic Suit from the The Batman. I wish these writers and artist get more creative with the Batsuits in the new 52, it makes no sense for him not to have an abundance of suit tech with all that Wayne Corp money, tech, and intelligence.

Also, i like what DC did to sell this book. How do you sell a Superboy book? You add the Bat on the cover

Also i didnt think of it till now but putting him in a white bat suit makes way more sense.

superman is using his armor to heal superboy,cause H'El was molculary dissecting kon,so superman is back in his first superhero outfit,from action comics.superboy's TTK is now condensed,and as a result his powers are almost identical to what the original superboy had,so he lost the full TK and senses.

I wonder if this is where they take a step back from the TK so Superboy gains more standard Kryptonian powers

lmao

Cyborg: Batman we're going to the Arctic

Batman: and?

Cyborg: Well temperatures can get as low as -58 degrees

Batman: I've got that covered

Cyborg: You mean that piece of fur around your neck?

Batman: I'm Batman

lol thank you! I was thinking the same thing. Unless he has some tech that heats up the temperature around him he needs to have his whole body covered. I would have liked to see a batsuit that looked similat to Jason Todds version during Battle for the Cowl and him say it has a temperature regulating system in it with oxygen and the works similar to a space suit

@knightofthechronicle said:

That cover is so much better than the one they were showing before

Agreed

Looks good can't wait

Yeah she's like that

I wonder if batman supports PETA and thats fake fur or not?probably fake

Why the hell is Superman wearing Jeans and T-shirt again...?

@Miss_Garrick said:

Batman wearing a different costume for the north pole makes sense but he really shoul wear an oxygen mask type thing. It's the NORTH POLE!! It's freezing, and the oxygen has got to be thin and he's in intense fights, he needs something, or he'll pass out dangerously fast.

BATMAN DOESNT PASS OUT FROM THIN AIR! THIN AIR PASS'S OUT FROM BATMAN!!!

@sparty-dbq said:

Wow, are they STILL wasting the first page of every issue by having Superboy go over his New 52 backstory? What's wrong with a proper recap page?

That's regular DeFalco stuff, men head over to eee! tess ate chai tea for reviews of New 52 comics and superboy harsh words though, be warned.

Is it weird that I like Superman's costume when Superboy is wearing it, but not when Superman is wearing it?

It's better than Superboy's own costume at the very least, and I really like the jeans and t-shirt look for Superman.

Batman's cape is awesome!

@Onemoreposter: nice one, I knew it reminded me of something...

Really can't wait to delve into this crossover arc when all the issues are in! Each preview like this just makes me all the more excited...

Who's the redhead?

what the hell is Batman wearing???

@Onemoreposter: HAHA SO TRUE!

The colors in this book are like waaay too bright. Looks like one of those Subway ads with the Justice League you see in comics.

@sentryman555 well now he can only use his TTK only by direct touch,so that might be just for dramatic effect,cause now it seems he has 90's kesel TTK ,hopefully they will explain it in the issue.

@danhimself: I love this joke!!!!!!!! lmao

And now introducing our winter line of Batman! *Batman walks down catwalk modeling*

Is Superboy supposed to be using Heat vision on the cover or is that supposed to be his T.T.K?

They need to stop putting Superman in and out of his Suit and going backand forth with his Tshirt and jeans. It worked before he got the suit, now it just causes confusion. In one issue of Action cComics he is saving the day in jeans, the next he is in Watchtower with the Justice League with his suit. I know everyone liked the look so Instead dont have Superboy in the suit, let him use the Tshirt look.

I hope Superboy keeps Superman's costume, or gets a version of it for himself. He looks better in it than Superman does.

Is Batman doing Jazz hands on the cover?

@G-Man said:

Am I the only one that likes Batman's winter attire?

I think Batman skinned a polar bear.

Awesome. I find this the only logical explanation. Otherwise, Batman would have used some thermal gear or something even better than wool(?).

Anyway, WW can definitely still wear whatever she wants lol. She's (apparently) impervious to cold. I, for one, have never seen her shiver (unlike the Flash... I wonder what his anti-frozen-tundra suit would look like...).

so they gave SB the traditional TK abilities of the past while in the armor,atleast it looks cool.

That some horrid art

Batman needs a fur coat. Wonder Woman is still wearing a metal swim suit. Alright, comic books.

Batman reminds me of the movie version of Night Owl

All he's missing is the face mask

Batmans suit is lame lame lame. how stupid.

No matter who's the writer this always has to sound like "Dear dairy I'm Superboy a clone from NOWWHERE and I'm in problems" My only complain about this series >:P

Oh my..... that cape looks so pretty and cute... and knowing I'm talking about Batman sounds just so wrong

@G-Man said:

No you aren't, I would pay for a cape like that :D

dc chose not to use a recap page.

marvel on the other hand gives you a recap page and charge you a dollar for it.

@SneakyBawls: A one piece swim suit is just a one piece swim suit, a two piece is called a bikini.

Batman felt the need for that dopey looking fur lining...and Wonder Woman is still rocking a one piece bikini. LOL

@Mucklefluga: I think Superboy needs the suit to survive. Whatever the reason man Superman looks so cool in jeans and a shirt.

Agreed!!

Alright.
H'El On Earth should have been a Superman Justice league crossover.
