Sometimes, it’s best not to ask questions. Just enjoy the gifts the internet brings.
I stumbled upon the art of Des Taylor a couple months ago and have been following him ever since. He’s got a great sense of the vintage, almost in animated style, juxtaposed with more realistic backgrounds that I really enjoy.
These fictitious ’LIVE’ magazine covers are pretty great and I think you owe it to yourself to follow him as well.

[EDIT] now in hi-res!
Official Synopsis:
“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question ‘Why am I here?’ Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope - Superman.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1o9815ZYt1qbehk4o1_r1_1280.jpg)

Tim Daly’s (voice of Superman in the animated series, Justice League Doom) son Sam needs a few of his father’s super-friends to snap him out of his role playing.
12 Days of Boss-mas: Day 8
Keeping with Davis’ depresso theme, Day 8’s giveaway is comprised of a sad yet seminal issue in comics history, and a really cool Bat-family one-shot drawn by Toby Cypress (Blue Estate, Rodd Racer) where Batman is poisoned and Dick has to race to save his life. Toby’s style is really ink-heavy (think Mignola, Sook, Matthew Dow Smith)

![Henry Cavill as SUPERMAN. YES.
okay, the photography of this still has the same feel like the Watchmen and SuckerPunch (sigh), but that costume still looks pretty awesome.
(Just look at that Fred Wray style “S” crest!!)
[edit] for those wondering, yes, we here at Boss Battle took the liberty to crank up the saturation in this still for our own purposes. The regular version can be found elsewhere, if you’re into that dreary Superman look.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpeqy7JOnu1qbehk4o1_r3_1280.png)

dcu:
After hearing this news and checking all the nerd-sites, I found that there’s a ton of controversy in the talkbacks surrounding this decision. Most fanboys are in an uproar because gasp - “PERRY WHITE ISN’T BLACK IN THE COMIX!”
I for one and pretty exciting about all the casting announcements so far (Kevin Costner, Russel Crowe, Amy Adams, etc) and Mr. Morpheus is no exception. Sure, he’s black, not an old white dude like in the comics. But they did the same for Nick Fury in the Marvel Movies (and everyone cheered when they saw Samuel L. Jackson in the role).
So i don’t get it. I say get over it, racist fanboys. This is inspired casting the whole way through and now I just hope the script is as good as the actors filling up the movie.
