Fans are getting their first look today at variant covers available on the November editions of flagship DC titles featuring members of the famed Justice League.

I know it’s not the intention and I know why they did it, but I find it almost telling of the company’s perspective that Superman is the one character just represented by his symbol – when the company has, up until very recently, seemingly had NO idea what to do with him as a character, and only seen him for his potential marketing value (the logo).
So…SO MUCH unintended irony there.
