@meatwadf:

Now lookng more to the cover seems that he is wearing are normal clothes. Maybe Earth-2 Oliver Queen was still on the Island. I hope they dont introduce Earth-2 versions of Prime Earth Characther, I need more Justice Society characthers. Please dont introduce Black Canary as love intresesst for Green Arrow.

Yep, there's now yellow on the belt and that horrible collar on Superman's neck is gone. Fewer lines as well though I'd hoped for those V neck sleeves to be gone from Superman's costume.

Also I'd have thought you would promote the fact that you've gotten the first glimpse of Superman's new costume right here. Would certainly generate more traffic IMO Tony.

Was kinda hoping they'd bring back the yellow belt and the trunks for Superman's costume, but I guess this is an improvement.

If that's Superman's newer "look" not much of a difference lol.

But interesting, want to see Batman vs. DS see who wins curious...

Can't wait to hear the DS fans cry "PIS" if Batman beats his butt lol and vice versa I'm sure.

Wonder why ollie is shooting at E2 Batman?

I am genuinely curious about the issue and what will be going on with Queen here.

That Deathstroke cover is pure awesomeness. Then again did we really expect anything else from Tony Daniel?

And since its Deathstrokes book I am pretty confindent that Slade wont get his ass handed to him by the Bat. Also curious what Harleys role will be in all of that. Since Deathstroke is my most favorite DC character (and Batman also being in my top 5 DC heroes) this battle is a dream come true for me. Who needs Batman V Superman if we can have Slade vs Batman?

It looks like it's probably Earth Prime GA. Earth-2 Oliver Queen has showed up in Futures End (But not in Earth 2 for some reason) and he looks more like Red Arrow Roy Harper. Futures End GA is also rocking that beard.

@darthdanman: Actually that's Prime Earth Oliver Queen. The writers used him supporting the people of Earth 2's rights as a reference to when he was a supporter of Natuve American rights in the 70s.
