You can find the full story about this image, and the controversy that will probably erupt around it, over at Bleeding Cool.

2 Corinthians 13:12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Men kissing is a beautiful thing.

Yeah, it's really hard to understand why DC Comics would sue over that.

DC (Time Warner) doesn't have sole rights to Superman anymore, and could lose them all together. I don't know what their strategy is when it comes to these properties that have mucked-up copyrights... but I can't keep a straight thought about any of that because this is a pretty great photo.

Artless wankery of the lowest sort designed solely to offend the most easily offended morons on the planet: Christians and superhero comic readers.

They are both technically "gods who walk the earth" so honestly, them making out is fine. Just two equals kissing. Is it time for an update to "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" to "Man of Steel, Man of godly ass"?

Hell, hasn't that already been on South Park, like, about 15 times?

How does Jesus keep from poking Superman in the eye with his Crown of Thorns? Shouldn't he take it off, first?

I like the concept, but the Superman isn't Supermany enough.

Couldn't they find a beefier Superman? How about some super pecs?

The one on the left can kiss my ass.

@11, unless they are kryptonite thorns, I don't think Supes is gonna have a problem with that.

Jesus and Superman sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes, oh wait...

Men are supposed to be fighting one another, that's the American way. We'd rather see them kill each other than kiss each other. Please don't upset the status quo with love and understanding. Some find those things revolting.

Even if Superman were gay he wouldn't be kissing a homeless guy.

No, offense, but that's one lousy kiss. Closed mouth? The Man Of Steel and The Man Of God don't have tongues? Really?
