Action Comics #1000 will feature the return of Superman's red trunks.
And it's about time. I'm fed up with this retcon of comic character costumes and Superman never looked as good without the classic costume.
Cue all the jokes again about Superman wearing his underwear over his costume, Ha ha......YAWN!
The Batman and Dr Fate costumes have also suffered as well as any other hero that wore trunks.
Many comic heroes have had costume changes. Female heroes have had some worse changes, mostly due to now being thought of as sexist.
Ms Marvel, Spider-Woman, Batgirl, Wonder Woman have all suffered and now some of these costumes look horrendous. At one time Wonder Woman was completely covered because you know we can't have her in star covered pants showing her legs anymore can we? Also how can she fight in that top because it would fall down?
Many arguments have been had over whether heroes can fight in capes. high heels etc...
These are COMIC characters.
Superman appearing again in classic form is great news and I hope some of the other comic characters soon follow suit.
