Superman and Wonder Woman To Get A Whole New Look??
You heard it right superhero fans!
Yep two of the most iconic comic book characters will be getting a little makeover this summer which is... you know... is kind of a big deal.
According to our sources, the redesign will come as a result of DC Comics' "New 52â³ re-branding which was revealed at their Covergence event. Looking to introduce fresh new looks and perhaps a more modern element to their characters while really emphasising the traits that they are really looking to focus on from each character, these new designs are a far cry from the designs of old....heck Superman doesn't even have a cape!
So! What's all the fuss about you cry? Below we've grabbed some sneaky peaks of what to expect from the new comic book characters. Go take a peep...

Guest Post: Now This is a Story All About How…to Ace the 90s Revival Look!
For some of us it doesnât seem so long ago when Top of the Pops was overrun with Britpop bands, you had your hair cut like Rachel from Friends and Saturday night TV was about watching celebrities getting gunged. But believe it or not, enough time has passed for the 90s style to come swinging in with full neon glory back into fashion again.
.
As we all know with this decade, this is tricky territory, as a step too far can turn you into Edina from Ab Fab. So whether you were watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or Men Behaving Badly at the time, here are some fashion icons of the era you should be taking notice of if you want to get the 90s revival look right. Enjoy!
Cher Horowitz
Starting with the ultimate 90s fashion icon, Cher from 90s smash hit Clueless. The most popular girl in Bronson Alcott High School, she had the lifestyle, the attitude and was always perfectly dressed for the occasion - with the help of some awesome virtual wardrobe software that I still to this day wish I had. This summer, if youâre going to rock the 90s revival look, channel Cher and go for cute matching two piece suits for the office and a strappy top worn over a t-shirt for the gym.

Only Fools and Horses Sport Relief Special This Friday!
Can you 'Adam an Eve' it?! Get ready to 'Giraffe' like never before as one of the most iconic and loved sitcoms which originally ran from 1981 to 2003 is back for a one off ten minute special this week!
You heard it right folks, with a whole host of the original cast hitting the small screen as their classic characters once again, as well as some special gusts, this year's Sport Relief if shaping up to be one of the most historic yet!
Over 10 years on from the shows last episode (amazing to think!), this latest script will focus around Del Boys birthday and promises to be packed with lashing of the original humour and personalities as ever before. We can't wait!
Comic Relief CEO, Kevin Cahill, had this to say about the return:
"Only Fools and Horses is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. It's incredible that those involved with the show since the very beginning have come together for this Sport Relief special and we're especially touched that Jim and Dan Sullivan wrote the sketch together using some of their dad John's old notes. To be able to record a new Only Fools and Horses sketch is in itself very special but for David Beckham, who is a huge fan of the show, to be part of this is truly brilliant."
