Six Flags Superman ride is now the New 52 Superman
I have never been to Six Flags, so I can't confirm this, but I saw this over on CBR. Its funny that the text "Superman Ultimate Flight" covers up the whole (lack of) trunk area. Unless you are a comic book reader its doubtful you would even know this as a different Superman design.

The company I work for is currently working on a slew of projects for Six Flags. I will say the new regime at Six Flags is very dedicated in keeping the DC characters current.

It's going to be crappy if licensing starts relegating the classic costume to vintage merchandise only. I really wonder now if the whole costume change was mostly about lowering the leverage the Siegels/Shusters had in their lawsuit with DC.

Spoiler:
My point is that the average person doesn't care about this stuff, and if they do, they only care as long as the media tells them to care.

How can anyone not know who Dick Grayson is? They should know from the Adam West show at least. I can understand them not knowing Jason Todd, Tim Drake, or Damian Wayne, but Dick Grayson should be as ingrained into the public mind as Bruce Wayne.

Why would you assume everyone is aware of that TV show?

The 60s Batman show was a train wreck to me when I was a kid (in the 70s) and I never watched it. If it weren't for comic books, I would have no clue who Robin really is.

Anyway, I was really young when I watched it, and I loved it. In fact, its what led to me getting into comics in the first place. One day I was with my mother at the grocery store, and I just happened to notice a Batman comic on the spinner rack. I loved the TV show, so I wanted to try the comic. If it wasn't for the show, I most likely never would have noticed the comic or gotten into comics period.

I went on this ride last weekend. It was thrilling, but only 31 seconds. Lots of glitches and malfunctions (including one of my rides - 15 minute delay). Today, the ride malfunctioned and riders were stuck at the top for more than an hour.
It could have easily been named something other than Superman.
The 90 degree drop was cool though.

That new Superman suit looks like it is trying to rip off Iron Man with each part of it being a separate section. Look at his shoulder.

Aren't they both pretty much a rip off of Spider-Man's black suit?
This Superman Suit seems more like a rip off of Iron Man via the new Blue Beetle

I'm glad I had seen the movie already before I read that...

Re: Six Flags Superman ride is now the New 52 Superman
OK that is seriously lame if his suit forms nano tech on him. Does he even have powers or is the nano suit doing all the work? Wouldn't surprise me. Also, why would he have the giant S on his chest when in Clark mode? Why not just give him a watch or something that ths nanotech comes from, forming the S as well as the rest of the suit. BTW: Does he have to strip naked and stand there when the suit forms? Looks like it.

The armor thing was strictly implemented because it would look cool when it happens in a movie and Iron Man was coming off being a gigantic hit at the box office.
