You'll Never Look At Superman The Same Way Again
Courtesy of Simon Jones [possibly NSFW], here's a peek at what Power Boy from Supergirl would look like [probably NSFW] if DC were really serious about sexualizing their male superheroes in the same way they do their female characters. (More examples of what super-dudes in tight (or no) spandex would actually look like can be found here [definitely NSFW].)
And as others have commented, why did DC think the answer to readers' complaints about gratuitous female objectification was to add more portrayals of characters that reduce them to their physical attributes? Didn't DC ever learn that two wrongs don't make a right? 9:08 AM | |
