So, we've got to ask, because it seems to happen an awful lot with DC merchandise, especially the stuff aimed at the mainstream market...does DC update its licensing art, like, at all?
Not that we don't enjoy the art on these Australian license plates, because we're '80s kids and that art is very much part of the comics of our misspent youth, but, seriously, thirty years have passed, guys. This is the same art you were using on Underroos. It's time to update it a little bit.
Oh, right, the license plates. They're from the Aussie province of Victoria, which you know because it has Melbourne in it. And apparently their DMV writes truly terrible ad copy. Seriously. Check out the slideshow after the jump for the plates, and the comedy.
BAM!? What, is Batman Emeril now?
Yeah, that's about the kind of wit and colorful speech we've come to expect from Superman.
Apparently Wondy is still having trouble figuring out English. Greek is her first language, after all.
"My plate comes in pink! Because I'm a girl!"
So, wait, Green Lantern doesn't get to finish his oath, and the Flash doesn't even get his emblem on a plate? Geez, DC really is treating them like B-listers these days.

i think its a simple case of the marketing department knowing more about what sells then the editorial department.
to the world, those versions ARE those heroes.
which makes superman’s stupid new costume all the more stupider. sure, they sold more books with the New 52 than they normally did, but at the end of the day normal folks don’t give a rats ass cause that dude in the red belt with the high collar just isn’t superman to them.
Australia is not Canada.
We have states not provinces (Also, territories, but that’s not relevant to my nitpicking).
I know the amount of research required to discover this little known fact would have been exhausting but perhaps you could have outsourced the task to someone with general knowledge.
Agree with Fustigation about the research thing. Not difficult. Also see nothing wrong with WW’s English language skills.
