Well in the movie, Superman was able to fly with Lois without holding her too tightly


Though I was not a fan of that scene.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

IMO, the new costumes make the super heroes look more modern, It was time to retire the whole spandex look... I'll definately be pre ordering this superman/wonder woman statue... Looks great IMO...
I do like some of the modern outfits yet some could be better. I'm still not fond of Black Canary's scuba diving outfit. Her now classic outfit didn't need much of a change since it still looked modern.

Even though I do like Wonder Woman's outfit, she can seriously do without the choker and arm band. Its one of those instances where less is more.

I may be in the minority here but I like Supergirl's outfit. I saw the sketches of her outfit and I'm glad that the outfit she is currently wearing was chosen. The others just looked awful.

In addition, I forgave DC for Harley Quinn's new 52 outfit. At first I cringed but then slowly I accepted it. I still want to read Suicide Squad.

Other than that, I'll wait for this gorgeous diorama to be up for pre-order which I hope is very, very soon.

Ya Quinn's new outfit is slowly growing on me also.. although I wish they would of went with the outfit she had from the video game, looked more modern and less "I'm color blind that's why my outfit looks like i crashed into a paint store"....

Although I like the wonder woman in this statue, some of her other statues are hit and miss, some look hot others look like she's a transvestite, seems like some artists have a hard time with her face and make it a tad to masculine

I love the Superman WonderWoman concept my wife and I went as them one Halloween so I've always liked them together. I even have that rare statue of the two embraced from Brazil.

I actually like Harley's Arkham outfits. It looks more edgier and it would have been great if DC used those outfits in the 52 continuity.

As with Superman, I'm also picky with Wonder Woman statues and busts. Honestly I didn't purchase the AH Wonder Woman bust because she looked too buff but I did purchase the Terry Dodson and new 52 busts which came out great.

I don't mind erotic depictions of Superman and Wonder Woman as long as its done in good taste. With the Forbidden Lust statue, Superman looks decent but Wonder Woman's face could have been better. Since you like it, that's perfectly fine.

I'm seeing the gorgeous diorama on Ebay on pre-order already and its slated to be released in September 2013. The vendors are pricing it over and slightly under $300.

I'll wait until its actually released and get it cheaper elsewhere.

Unless it's really big, DC Statues are usually around $100-$160 when their new.... Ebay sellers are always trying to sucker people into paying 2x-3x the price it will be when it's released.

I pre-ordered the Poison Ivy statue from sideshow for $325 and I'm seeing it on ebay for over $450.. So be really careful on Ebay pre-orders, there usually ripping you off.
