Superman all over the WB Justice League merch
Does this count as spoilers? I don’t know since the movie isn’t out yet… Call it speculation. I think a very likely ‘twist’ is that Superman features. Heck!

Superhero Week: Superhero cospaint!
Cosplay is going strong… and cospaint is picking up interest. One of the things cospaint has going for it is that it makes for dramatic YouTube montages and long running Twitch streams.
