@morpheus_: The dialogue didn't bother me much considering it was just a few pages, but honestly, if Bendis' story includes the Vandal Savage plot line as seen in the preview, then I'm significantly relieved with Bendis and have a lot less worry. It's a very creative idea to use a Hypertime weapon to have Superman literally go through his entire past starting from the publications in the 30's. The way he talks about how he was more reckless and then the growth in how good vs bad used to be so black and white but isn't now, has me impressed. It was a clever tool that gives both a lot of meta context to the way his character and genre has grown and in universe explanation to how Superman plans to go back to being a more obvious symbol of hope AND an in-universe explanation to trying to bring back a more old-school approach to his approach as a hero. Yes, even if that means something as silly as putting the red trunks back on.
Bendis, I was really REALLY worried and did not have high expectations initially, and I'd be lying if I didn't say you were making a bad choice. But if your first issue holds up to what the preview has shown... then I can't wait to read what more you have. And yes, if it works out, you've turn a No Red Trunks fan into a Red Trunks fan.
HOWEVER, this all depends on if Bendis is the one writing the story I was referring to. I know there's a lot of writers who're writing mini stories in the issue, but it seemed like it was part of Bendis' story.
