I picked up Superman 700,701, and 702. I liked the handoff from Robinson to JMS in 700, and the impetus for him to start walking rang true to me. Those stories are filled with genuine emotion and they are very mature. I like JMS as a writer. When he was doing Babylon 5, everyone was so distracted by spaceships and aliens, they missed the fact that he was creating a group of very layered characters. He also knew when to slow down and tell a story thoroughly. I think that's what he's doing with Superman. 
 
I've listened to the podcast and I can understand the criticism from Babs and G-man. The trouble is, when you say, "Superman wouldn't do that!" you are limiting the character. When you say, "Superman has to spend time with Lois before doing something like this," you are bringing him down to being just a man. He is not just a man. And God bless the writers, they actually write Lois like a grown-up, in a special situation. She's in love with Superman. If there's one person she can be sure of, who she can see when she wants, it's him. People need to relax, loosen their grip on their preconceived notions of who Superman is and how he fits into Almighty Continuity and ALLOW THE STORY TO BE TOLD. For once! Trust. Have faith. Recognize this is a story and enjoy it.
