Batman Defeats "Doomsday" In DC Comics Snickers Ad

[FIFTY-TWO (52)]

am I the only one who found that add extremely sexist??
why is Wonder Woman the one who becomes a killing monster the moment she's hungry?

What, women don't cranky when they get hungry?

Leave it alone.

Looks like Ivan Reis to me.

Yes, must be Reis, thanks.

He might as well say "You get really cranky when you're menstruating!" and Batman hands her a tampon. I know that's crude, but I got the impression that's what the ad is trying to tell me.

it is what I thought too, not a good way to do a ad. not eating snickers so soon after this.

Menstruating amazon princess vs pubescent killer assassin ...... Hmmm ... its a toss up

This is what is known as playing the victim. You get yourself all worked up over something that is neither referenced or implied just so you can complain about it. You really need thicker skin

First: Great art.
Second: It's not a story. It's three panels. Essentially the length of a comic strip. It could have all been on one page.
Third: It kinda cheapens the fact that Doomsday killed Superman by having him beaten by a candy bar. If only the Pre-Flashpoint DCU had Snickers!

Completely agree. Anyway the fact Batman implies something similar or worse happens to Robin who is a MALE. Proves there is no sexism or hidden agenda. Though were at the point where people are mad that the WW film has male writers so it's to be expected I guess.

Or a snickers.

The fact that the slogan has been "you're not you when your hungry" I don't get how any gender insult is gotten out of that. Honestly hoping the user who posted the Feminazi stuff was joking.

Yes, one three panel advert is definitely going to completely overshadow and ruin one of the best known comic storylines ever. DEFINITELY.

Nice Avatar, Jay Garrick and Hawkman holding up the DC logo! Is there a link to a bigger art?

[Inhuman X]

That settles it. I am going to go buy a Snickers.

Don't tell me this is a successor to all those Hostess ads from the 70s?

Those ads were the best.

I loved those ads!

Hostess Ads and Schoolhouse Rock! Those were the days.

[Stanlos]

The fact this ad was placed in a comic where Superman is actually fighting Doomsday in the main story is flat out hillarious.

And actually sold that issue of Action Comics today. I saw that ad and could not resist. Marketing team success, I suppose!

I thought the same thing!

You do know what a joke is right?

[beetee]

Came here for the culture war comments. Was not disappointed. Would it have been better if she were The Joker?

[Godlike13]

First saw this ad in this weeks Action, totally threw me for a second.
