Superman tends to stand very upright, and he's very symmetrical, and those are actually the most difficult poses for me to draw.
cape character costume couple hardest simple superman
Superman is the hardest character to draw. There are a couple of things that make him difficult. He's got a very simple costume and doesn't have the long cape like Batman. He's not a character that is necessarily always in shadow, and he doesn't have a mask.
Superheroes are modern mythological characters, so you're going to make them look impossible. Even my Krypto The Superdog is the idealisation of the canine form.

There's an obvious marketing component to doing something digitally where you're reaching out to new readers that you can't do in the existing print marketplace, or that it's difficult to do in the existing print marketplace.
afraid amount directed industry inordinate resources search
There's an inordinate amount of resources being directed at an industry that's pretty small. I'm afraid there's an investigation under way in search of a crime.

At DC Comics, it has been a top priority that DC forges a meaningful, forward-looking digital strategy.

They didn't abandon their duty. This is the call of firefighters everywhere. Every call you answer can be your last.
