A humorous YouTube video sees an irate fan explain the DC relaunch to a potential date, pointing out that while pretty much EVERYTHING has seemingly been changed, at least Batman stays the same...

People are already standing in line for their copies of Justice League #1 (and Flashpoint #5) but the following spoof advertisement for the relaunch has now hit the net, offering up an amusing take on the decision by DC to "reboot" the entire universe. You know, they actually make some really good points...

That's the word on Bleeding Cool and some other sites. I'm a Booster Fan and Canadian but I just don't see it. He emulates American Free Enterprise/Commercialism. I guess they are modelling him after Justin Beiber. Maybe they are just trying to make him even cooler than he already was.

I just read the first issue of Justice League and gotta say I want the second right now and haven't felt that way for any comic in a long time. I think it was a very good move on DC's part now.

Wow, that had so much potential.

When a nerdy guy says to a cute woman "The WHOLE DC Universe is about to change!" Any normal response would be "What's a 'DC Universe'?"

The rest fell flat for me. Shame. Cute idea.

@Dionysios that right there was actually a great point. How long are we supposed to believe Nick Fury fought along side Captain America in WW2 and neither one of them has aged a day besides a little gray in Fury's hair? Infinity/super soldier serum has to have it's limits, right? How long is Bart Simpson going to be 10 years old? That just bugs me. And maybe Superman hasn't aged since the 30s, but shouldn't Lois be dead by now? On the other hand, reboots do kind of bug me as a fan of the past history...I say wait and see.

Hah, that was pretty awesome. As a lifelong Marvel tagalong, I look forward to the relaunch. It'll be a nice jumping-on point for me.

I'll admit I've been skeptical but I just read Justice League #1. It was actually really awesome :P Looking forward to what's to come.
