The JLA has a locker room?

(source: Comics Alliance)

Comics cater to heterosexual males.  One can see this in dozens of titles from multiple companies.  The men are idealized male power fantasies, and the women are often beautiful and oversexualized (of course for the benefit of heterosexual men).  It’s interesting to see an image showcasing beefcake for gay men and women (yes, women enjoy looking at pictures of nice looking men too).  Note the difference in how the men are portrayed here versus women in comics.  The art doesn’t draw the viewers’ attention to anyone’s crotch, nor their ass.  It’s a wide shot showcasing a bunch of JLAers who are buff and intended to be good looking.  I’m not going to fantasize about this, but it’s a nice image to see.  Now if only comics would include a little more tasteful beefcake and a lot less over-sexualized T&A.

BTW,

Somehow I don’t think a sauna is going to make Clark sweat.

Also, Reddy doesn’t have hair.

Oh and Hal’s costume is ring generated.

(yes, I’m being silly and pointlessly nitpicky-it’s meant to be in jest)
