This summer, Superman returns to the big screen. But before that, he’s heading to Hot Topic.

Hot Topic will be the exclusive home of the new Man of Steel teaser tee—the first official Man of Steel shirt to hit the market. Featuring the film’s modern take on Superman’s iconic glyph, you can find the new shirt in Hot Topic stores or online at the Hot Topic website on March 25^th.

However, for fans who don’t want to wait, we have five free Man of Steel teaser tees to give away on Twitter. Right now. And all you need to do to win one is tell us what Superman represents to you.

Here’s how it works…

1. First, if you’re not already doing so, be sure to follow DC Comics on Twitter.

2. Before 11 p.m. PST tomorrow (March 20^th), tweet what Superman represents to you using the hashtag #MOSGiveaway. For example, “Superman represents integrity, honesty and bravery. #MOSGiveaway” Or “Superman is the hero we should all aspire to be. #MOSGiveaway” (You get the idea!)

That’s really all there is to it. After the deadline, five winners will be chosen at random and will be direct messaged for their name, address and t-shirt size (S, M, L or XL). Good luck, and thanks for being such super fans!

This month, the Emerald Archer entered a new era with GREEN ARROW #17, which marked the debut of the acclaimed new creative team of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino. If you’ve read it, you know it brought both a change in tone to the series as well as the start of a gritty, street-level Green Arrow story that promises to reveal much about Oliver Queen’s past.

In honor of Green Arrow Week, Jeff Lemire has given us five signed copies of Green Arrow #17 to give away. Even better, each of them has a unique Oliver Queen sketch cover drawn by Jeff.

So how can you get your hands on one of these? Well, fortunately you won’t have to spend five years on a deserted island. All you’ll have to do is take a picture.

The comics we’re giving away have original sketch covers, but the regular cover of Green Arrow #17 is pretty darn cool as well. Here it is, if you haven’t seen it.

To win a signed and sketched Green Arrow comic, all you need to do is...

1) Follow @DCComics on Twitter.

2) Tweet us a picture of you recreating the pose shown in the above cover between 10 a.m. PST on Thursday, February 28th and 11:59 p.m. PST on Sunday, March 3rd. Be sure to use the hashtag #ArrowGiveaway in your tweet to have your entry counted.

Costumes and props in the photos are more than welcome, but not required. After the deadline, we’ll pick the five best photos and winners will be contacted on Twitter prior to being sent their comics (so check those direct messages!). We’ll post the winning photos here in THE SOURCE next week.

Good luck and hold those bowstrings taut!

There’s a Dark day on the horizon, and DC fans couldn’t be happier about it.

Last fall, Batman fans celebrated when Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video released Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1, the first installment of an unprecedented two-part animated adaptation of Frank Miller’s seminal graphic novel, THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. Winning over fans and critics alike, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 brought us a stunning vision of a Gotham plagued by violent gangs and an aging Dark Knight who’s driven out of retirement by a need to protect his beloved city. However, with an ending that teased the return of the Joker to Gotham, it’s hardly surprising that most fans were hungry for more.

On January 29, 2013, they’ll get their wish as Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video release Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2, the concluding chapter of this epic tale. Featuring the return of Peter Weller as the voice of Batman and Bruce Wayne, David Selby as Commissioner Gordon and Modern Family’s Ariel Winter as Carrie Kelley (aka the new Robin), the PG-13 film also features Michael Emerson (of Lost and Person of Interest fame) as the Joker, Human Target’s Mark Valley as Superman and Conan O’Brien as talk show host Dave Endochrine.

Best of all, if you live in New York or LA and follow us on Twitter, you could win a chance to see it early with some of the filmmakers and voice cast members. We’re giving away five pairs of tickets each to the New York and Los Angeles premieres of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2. However, if you’d like to win, you’ll have to do a few things.

First, you have to be able to get yourself to the premiere. The prize does not include travel expenses. Second, you have to be free on Wednesday, January 23 if you’d like to go to the NY premiere or Monday, January 28 if you’re hoping for LA. And finally, you have to follow us on Twitter. Here’s how to win:

1) If you're not already doing so, be sure to follow @DCComics on Twitter.

2) Before 5 p.m. PST on Thursday, January 10, tweet out your favorite DC animated movie, making sure to tag @DCComics and use either the hashtag #BatmanNYCPremiere or #BatmanLAPremiere. You must pick one or the other, not both.

After the deadline, five winners will be chosen at random for both the LA and NY premieres and direct messaged for his/her info.

Good luck, and be certain to pick up Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 on Blu-Ray, DVD, On Demand or Digital Download when it arrives on Tuesday, January 29!

You guys are sure having some fun with those die-cut covers, aren’t you? Last Wednesday, we offered you a chance to win a couple of LEGO Batman prize packages by tweeting us your DC comics photos, and many of you put those Joker faces to good use. However, our winning photos took a different approach, as you can see below:

My cat reads faster than my boyfriend.

The above photo and caption were both submitted by @rcknjess on Twitter. (Hopefully, her boyfriend has finished reading BATMAN, INCORPORATED #0 by now!)

 Jason Todd, keeping up on “current events.”

Our second winning photo and caption were submitted by @drewtos, who apparently took a break from the Outlaws to read BATMAN #13. Both winners will be receiving a great LEGO Batman prize package that includes a copy of both LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and the LEGO Batman Visual Dictionary, which aside from being a fun reference for LEGO Batman fans, also features an exclusive minifigure.

We’re big fans of LEGO Batman around here, but if you prefer your comics and your heroes to be a little edgier, then you’ll be happy to know that for this week’s giveaway, we’re moving to the opposite end of the age spectrum.

Today marks the release of BEFORE WATCHMEN: MINUTEMEN #4, which continues the dramatic story of the Minutemen—the forebears Rorschach, Ozymandias, Dr. Manhattan and the rest of the team at the center of the classic graphic novel and its film adaptation. It’s a dark, relentless story of Golden Age heroics, drawn and written by Darwyn Cooke. So to celebrate this great Before Watchmen comic, we’re giving you all a chance to win a Minutemen card signed by Darwyn.

As usual, the card is 11” by 14” and is made of heavy card stock. Many of you fans will recognize it as the cover of BEFORE WATCHMEN: MINUTEMEN #1, which was actually the very first Before Watchmen comic released! If you’re a fan of either the Watchmen or of Darwyn’s work, you’re going to want this up on your wall. But, as usual, you’ll need to do a few things if you’d like to get your hands on it.

1) If you're not already doing so, be sure to follow @DCComics on Twitter and Instagram.

2) Pick up some of your favorite new DC comics on Wednesday and take a photograph of you reading them. (If you can’t make it to a comic shop on Wednesday, a photo of you reading any DC comic will do.)

3) Share your picture with us via Instagram and tag @DCComics and #DCComicscontest.

That’s all there is to it! At 5 pm PST on Monday, October 22, 2012, one winner will be chosen at random and direct messaged for his/her mailing address. The winner will be featured on Twitter and if possible, here on DCComics.com. DC Comics will tweet the winner’s photo and a fan shout out on or around Tuesday, October 23, 2012.
