I love this cover from the upcoming DC Universe: Decisions by Stephane Roux.

I wonder who Supes would actually endorse – he’s the Big, Blue Boy Scout after all, so you might think he’d be fairly conservative, but he’s also pretty humanitarian so perhaps there might be a more left wing bias. Batman? Again you might think he’d be pretty right wing – he’s extremely wealthy and a ruthless vigilante. But again there’s a big humanitarian streak underpinning his work. On the Marvel side I think we can be fairly sure Iron Man leans more to the right. So superheroes endorsing politicians, what next? Well, I’m eagerly waiting a future issue of DC Universe which shows Bats on Oprah talking about his childhood trauma. And maybe Oliver Queen jumping up and down on the TV sofa shouting about how much he loves Black Canary. And I can’t wait to see Annie Leibovitz covering Wonder Woman for Vanity Fair. But getting back to politics I have to say, personally, there’s only one sane choice – vote Howard!
