The first big wave of New 52 trade collections is rolling out, and DC is promoting them with these two new television spots. Retailers who run the ads locally will have 75% of the costs covered by DC, which seems only fair.

The greatest car ever is getting a new look for a new world, as Greg Capullo tweeted this teaser image of his new Batmobile, set to make its debut in Batman #9.

Superman's origin is retold for the New 52 in Action Comics #5, in stores January 4.

As the assault from an alien threat takes a turn for the worse for Metropolis, keys facts about Superman's past are brought to light for the first time! And how can certain elements from The Man of Steel's future help to prevent the theft of the millennium? Don't miss this awesome issue from series writer Grant Morrison and the guest art team of Andy Kubert and Jesse Delperdang!

There's no getting around it: DC Comics has an image problem. Co-Publisher Dan DiDio followed up on a major housecleaning of female talent and characters with a series of convention panels at which he lambasted women and the men who like them, and that was before the public got a jaw-dropping look at the new Catwoman and Starfire in Red Hood and the Outlaws.

The New 52 may be many things, but diverse it is not. It became passé rather quickly to continue to call attention to this (not to mention you risk a verbal lashing from mssr. DiDio if you ask about it at a con), but that hasn't stopped Ladyfingers, the comic strip of truth-out.org, from putting together this list of faults with the DCnU, complete with footnotes to back up their argument.

…And boom goes the dynamite!

Jim Lee's Darkseid makes his New 52 debut in Justice League #4, in stores December 21.
