As someone who spent a significant portion of his childhood in superhero Underoos, I can appreciate the sentiment behind these new DC Comics-branded boxerbriefs from Diesel and Warner Bros. -- even if I can't envision myself, as an adult (lacking the body of an underwear model), wearing them. Or, y'know, shelling out $34 for the pleasure.

However, if you're itching to sport the logos of Batman, Green Lantern, The Flash and The Joker above your cotton- and elastane-clad buttcheeks -- or to see someone else do the same -- then these are for you.

There's probably a "stocking stuffer" joke to be made -- also, "The Fastest Man Alive" -- but I'll do my best to resist. Alas, the folks at Diesel apparently don't have that level of restraint, as the (let's hope intentionally) hilarious promo video for the underwear drops the phrases "heroes will rise" and "show 'em what you've got." You can check it out below.
