I can has tom welling pics pleeze?

Man, I thought crime-fighting in a cape was impractical. The flowy gown has it beat.

@cate3710: Capes=necessary. How else are you to make an entrance?

@CorporateTool: Good point.

@CorporateTool: Someone need an education from Edna Mode about the dangers of capes!

Aside from the ferocity of Cat Woman, they all look very damsel-in-distress-esque no? Good to know how Vogue defines superhero.

So, the last superhero is, "This dress is shiny"?

Angel moddel looks like she could save jack shit.

@CorporateTool: capes also help keep balance. duh. totes important.

i was so hoping this issues would be LOLed. cuz i lol'd at the pics myself.

Does this mean I have to have a huge, exaggerated body part to be Vogue now?

...what.the.fuck.

Who invited Klaus Nomi's wife Kris?

@That_little_attention_whore: Ha! True. Also, most of these seem more like mythical/storybook characters than superheroes.

I demand external underwear!

Those shoes are for some serious ass kicking, perhaps in Johnny Vegas's direction.

anna ball. That just made my day. I´m gonna wright a song with that.

Haydeez nutz?

For the uninitiated:

+ Watch video

@tashatakeadive: Yes, but Cat Woman is straight out of an ANTM shoot. "Look ferocious!"

I was wanting to respond, but Jezebel is eating the comments. I must agree that while capes are showy, we learned from The Incredibles that capes invariably result in our hero or villian being sucked into a jet engine or being caught on things that go *boom*. No to capes.

As a former comic book nerd I gotta say that these aren't very superhero-y, except for the obvious lifts (Catwoman and Poison Ivy of course). I'm not even talking what's practical garb for leaping around rooftops, just in the look. The Poison Ivy dress is a work of ART though. Wow.

I never buy Vogue, but I would buy LOLVogue in a heartbeat. Jezebel wins again.

Edna: It will be bold! Dramatic!
Bob: Yeah!
Edna: Heroic!
Bob: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...
Edna: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!
Bob: Isn't that my decision?
Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
Bob: Listen, E...
Edna: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin!
Bob: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...
Edna: Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!
Bob: E, you can't generalize about these things...
Edna: Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex!
[shouts]
Edna: No capes!

Please imagine Edna from The INcredibles styling this shoot...

I love the "When Good Work Goes Bad" tag on the cover. Are they finally addressing their Photoshop abuse?

@CorporateTool: yeah, last time I checked the Bride of Frankenstein didn't have superpowers

oh frick. *write

@MissKittyFantastico: Batman needs a cape.

Looks like I beat everyone with the "incredibles" cape references!

@CorporateTool: exactly. have we learned nothing from international male?

@tashatakeadive: oh now youre just being difficult.

@That_little_attention_whore: you beat me to it, and with more style...

this is weird, but I am going to put it out there. does gwenyth's face remind you of one of the faces on a thomas the tank engine train???

I'm thinking it wouldn't be too hard to outrun that fish girl.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: @MissKittyFantastico: i had COMPLETELY forgotten about that.

you know what this shoot is missing? underwear over tights.

@That_little_attention_whore: Also a good point. Damn, I'm torn. Cape or no cape? Luckily I will never had to decide, since I'm far too clumsy to be a superhero.

Also, I'm really looking forward to this exhibit. Superheros! Clothes! Yay!

Haydeez! Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh...

All I know is that I got hysterical when I read 'bewbs'. Because I'm this-many today [holding up 5 fingers].

Points to Vogue for not dragging out tired BDSM wear for Wonder Woman.

Also Catwomen and Poison Ivy....super villans. Not heroines.

Little Mermaid, please just end up on some Japanese family's dinner table.

@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: You, exactly what I was thinking, esp. after Syndrome gets sucked into the engine of his own plane by his cape and blows up - WICKED!

Wait. There is no way this shoot is super-hero inspired. Aside from the lack of capes, which has already been documented, I see nary a person in tights. Or knee high boots. Or even body armour! I call shenanigans, Vogue. I can haz Wunder Wommin plz?

Also, Tom Welling is beautiful, despite the fact that he is 32 and still pretending to be 18. That is all.

@scrumtrulescent: Yes.

@braak: Word. And his grapling hook. Don't try to rob him of his accessories.

Oh noes! Angellic moddle betray ceiling cat....no worriez. Basement cat waiting fur u.

@OhhYeah: When I was that many, I dressed like a superhero all. the. time. This involved pulling the back of my dress up over my shoulders as a cape.
And this is why I have no childhood pictures to share with Jezebel--because I Was a First-Grade Flasher.

The angelic dress would be hot if it was strapless. But keep the wings.

@Miss-Pringle: she can save our souls from satan, of course!
that's eternal- top that, batman.

@cate3710: She's a badgirl. Poison ivy. Causing evil, not fighting.

@tashatakeadive: yeah, it is awesome.

There is a Tom Welling photo in one of the beginning sections of this issue that is super creepy. He and some stylist are posing together and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. Anyone else notice what I am talking about?

What's with the Little Mermaid? "Oooh! I'm going to go solve crimes with my fins and magical singing voice! Outlaws beware!"

What about Tank Girl? Or any of these?

[en.wikipedia.org]

@jesmcb: I can't decide if she looks more like Percy or Gordon.

All I can think is, "NO CAPES!"

The first one is Poison Ivy, a villain - she wouldn't be saving anyone, anyway. "Mah power, you is under it."

@VikingQuest: I'd be willing to throw down with you and say that Catwoman is less a supervillain and more an antihero. But we might get scolded if we do that.

So Gwyneth Paltrow is a Cyberman?

@and Begorrah: I just walked around in my Wonder Woman Underoos and matching tennis shoes. There was nobody faster, anywhere.

@MadameOvary: I can't help but giggle everytime I think of Edna saying "No capes!" Too funny.

@Loki_Monster: Gwyneth Paltrow IS a cyberman!

@Notes from the underwhelmed: I would totally be down with a Samus Aran photoshoot.

i actually really liked this photo spread and the one with tom welling with all the sexy secretary clothes. i think its my boyfriend's comic book obsession rubbing off on me.
