I think that's part of the aftermarket works, but swap Superman for Batgirl if you really want it to sell.
Or Lois, but then there are technical issues, well addressed by Larry Niven back in the day:

Well, overconfidence does require one to be amazed by themselves, so sure?
It's odd to me that you find this "nu uh, you are!" thing even superficially effective or satisfying. It's not upsetting, really, but it's so obviously not working on any level for you. You don't believe it, I don't believe it. It's not actively bothering me, it seems impossible it's actively making you feel better about being completely fucking unarguably wrong. Is it an attempt at subtle humor by being so juvenile that we forgive your earlier lack of rhetorical ability? Is it a commentary on grown men arguing about comic books?
Or are you just that stupid? I mean, Occam's razor, I guess, but it strains credulity that anyone could be that slow or oblivious to how badly they are being destroyed.
Anyway, I'm off to make dinner. Feel free to continue posting into a void, I guess. Maybe someone else will chime in to tell you how wrong you are. Some people like to get a kick in at a corpse.

Haha, this thread is great. I love it when people who aren't gbaji and his designated dupe argue about ****.
If I were a DC villain I'd be one of those tools that makes everyone fight in a big old arena.

No particular dog in this hunt, but I'm not aware that the current artist/author, whether a co-artist/author or not, was the one who demanded it be cancelled, much less because it was "too rapey". So the whole "guy with the most creative control" bit is kind of a stupid thing to argue about. Doesn't matter. Neither the DC execs nor the current creative team were the sources of the opposition to the cover. Random outraged people who heard about it were.
And again, the stated reason for cancelling the cover wasn't because anyone involved in creative content thought it was "too rapey", but because there was so much uproar, and people getting upset, some at the cover, and some at the people upset at the cover, that they decided it wasn't worth publishing. A sensible decision for a business to make, IMO, but I don't think you can draw any conclusions as to whether the cover was "good" or "bad" based on that. I think that forming ethical decisions based on picking sides among two angry mobs is a pretty crappy methodology.

Hey now, lolgaxe & I already have a thread where we discuss funny books. Bringing that discussion to this thread cheapens that one & I will not have it!
On topic, I took the cover at first glance as an obvious reference to The Killing Joke, but given that the world is a bit more PC nowadays I can see how people could find it "rapey" & I think DC handled it the correct way by pulling it to avoid controversy. DC rarely handles things in a way that I find correct (Did you see Man of Steel?!?!!), but Kudos to them for doing something right for once.

It's all because of white male privilege. And gamers.
Edit:
By costume, are we referring to the female Spider-Man pose with skin tight outfit that caused the stir a while ago? Cause I'm pretty sure the brouhaha over the Killing Joke cover isn't the costumes.

If at first you make a fool of yourself, conflate something unrelated. My dad said that all the time. Because he had cancer.

Such as pretending a topic didn't change! Brilliant start at embarrassing yourself a second day in a row.
Yeah, ok. I'm bored with this I have an actual 9 year old at home if I want to engage in this level of argument. In light f that, I'm going to ignore you until April, in hopes that your ego recovers enough to stop embarrassing yourself. Me continuing to reply lends you a legitimacy that you have in no way earned.
Have a good rest of March.
