WTF, Google?

Google has a logo today in honor of the start of Comic-Con with DC heroes as drawn by (swoon) Jim Lee.

UM.

WHAT?

HOW IN THE NAME OF KRYPTON DO YOU A DC COMICS LOGO AND EXCLUDE SUPERMAN?

SERIOUSLY.

WTF.

I WANT NAMES.

    Yet somehow Plastic Man rated two letters? For shame.

    Coulda been worse. Coulda been Metamorpho and the Metal Men.

    Meh, when Google does a special logo honoring Anime Expo and doesn’t include the Space Battleship Yamato in it, then I’ll get agitated.

    No it’s not as big as SDCC, but 44,000 attendees ain’t exactly chicken feed!

    Yeah, b/c Superman doesn’t get enough exposure.

    Kidding aside, I think in terms of spellnig out “Google” they choose a very ecletic bunch…for DC, that is.

    Supes is there. He’s just flying too fast for you to see him.

    Click through on that logo, Oliver, and they’ll offer you a Google theme with as much Superman as you could ask for!

    It’s not like they didn’t have room, they included Wonder Woman’s invisible jet fer chrissakes!

    What, you don’t see it? ;)

    Mad props to Jim Lee but leaving out Superman and putting Plastic Man is a travesty. I mean Plastic Man was funny in those cross over cartoons with Captian Caveman…

    Superman is overrated. Not as an icon, but as a relevant comics character.

    Wow, I didn’t know I had people that sympathize with Al Qaeda and worship Hitler posting on my site.

    The nerve, sir. I demand you resign.

    He couldn’t produce a birth certificate.

    As a Superman fan I noticed this right away. They could have used one of three letters. They have a hard time translating Superman for people who don’t read the comic. Really, the first Donner film and the animated series are about the best. I disliked Superman Returns as much as I liked it and I can’t say that about too many films. One thing about Star Trek XI, it didn’t get bogged down with its own mythology, they just told a ST story. I’m hoping they will announce a Superman film project soon before DC/Warner loose the rights in 2012.

    I hate to say it, but I think it’s anti-semitism.
