S"Smallville" has nothing to do with The New 52. It is a continuation of the series canon. I understand wanting to promote your characters within your universe, but this is an entirely different reality that has nothing to do whatsoever with the 52'Verse. I would understand Didio's stance if this book took place within the New 52 Verse but it doesn't.

In principle I agree with you, Smallville is supposed to be it's own thing, based on the DC Comics characters but not necessarily beholden to their canon.
However... maybe we should have known something was up from the very beginning. After all Superman's uniform just so happened to be Henry Cavill's uniform rather than Brandon Routh's.
And Henry Cavill's uniform is the uniform of the New 52 Superman.
Bullshit corporate synergy is what it is! I understand why they do it but still... I fucking hate it!  |
And the outfits in the new fighting game, Injustice: Gods Among Us, seem to be (loosely in some cases) based on The New 52 designs.
I have to agree with AJK that it is annoying when the companies like DC try to make all of their stuff the same. I understand they want to keep the different versions of characters like Batman and Superman recognizably those characters, but it 's more fun when the give the different versions (tv, movies, DTV, video games, ect.) more freedom to do the own thing.
