From Ask Yahoo!

Short quote:

Superman wears "underwear" on top of his clothes for "aesthetics and nothing more. Without the red trunks, he'd look like a male ballerina in blue pantyhose. And not even Superman could pull off that look."

In defense of that animated Darkseid design:

That look for Darkseid was in the series finale episode when he was 'merged' with Brainiac. In the rest of the animated series he was in standard black tunic and boots.

At least the JLU redesign of Darkseid has a Kirby-esque motif going for it.

Thanks for mentioning that. I knew, vaguely, there being a story reason for it, but forgot what it was. I believe it was in the last two episodes of the series, though.

Darkseid merging with Brainiac sounds like Michelangelo merging with Rob Liefeld -- ie, what's the point?

^ Trying to imagine the Sistine Chapel ceiling under such conditions...

Yeah, that's unpleasant.

JB, do you get many commission requests for Darkseid (or Terrax)? (Those two would have made a pretty sweet Amalgam character).
