Super Tuesday

From Newsarama:

Everyone’s talking about politics these days, and in September, that will
come to include the heroes and characters of the DC Universe. The place for the
discussion: DCU Decisions, a four-part miniseries shipping every other week in
September and October, written by Bill Willingham and Judd Winick, with art and
covers by Stephane Roux. The heroes…they’re drawn into the political arena both
by circumstance and by the actions of one of their own. A look at the
art [to the left] makes that latter part pretty clear. We spoke with
DCU Executive Editor Dan DiDio about the story, the idea behind it, and why in
the world anyone would willingly bring politics into a place that’s
politics-free these days.
Newsarama: Dan – first off. Why? What’s at the root of Decisions in terms
of getting the project started in the first place?
Dan DiDio: We’re entering a very interesting election year this year, and
what I think is important about it is that it’s that there’s this excitement – a
sense of “building”…there’s change in the air in regards to the whole political
process that’s at play in the United States. What we want to do is tap into that
emotion, and tell a story that plays in the DC Universe with our characters,
while using the political backdrop we’re seeing now to help to define our
characters better.
NRAMA: So how far will the characters go? We’ve got the piece of promo art
here, with Green Arrow and he’s not keeping anything vague…
DD: Right. For the first time, we’ll be having our characters make true
political stands in regards to their leanings, as well as what motivates them to
be heroes, and what they believe is necessary for their world and their country
to move in the direction they believe to be the right one.

They lost my business at "Davis Brewster"--Marvel's always had the savvy to ever-so-discretely make their prezzes the real deal--but, anyway . . .

SUPERMAN: Forbidden to change the course of human history; obsessed with privacy; dates outside his species; does the dirty work only an illegal immigrant from outer space will do, like SUPERMAN III with Pryor = TOTAL LIBERTARIAN

BATMAN: Where does he get those wonderful toys? Out-of-control military-industrial complex = MCCAIN '08

GREEN LANTERN: Swears allegiance to eggheaded, lookalike, gown-wearing "Guardians of the Universe" as blue as a U.N. beret = THE DEMOCRAT OF HIS PARTY'S CHOICE
