I have a good feeling about his run!He seems to grasp the core of the character and i am looking forward to his new villians!

Also Tony Daniel is a great artist! I am certain that he will do a great job!

Well yes!

He said that he will continue to be and he will not be dark and gritty :-P

@Squalleon: Superman was never dark and gritty in Action, he was confident, optimistic and had a backbone!
 
He's Superman.

I've got a good feeling about this. Diggle's good at writing cynical characters, and Superman's rogues gallery needs a desperate make-over in that department (among other things). The fact that he also understands and respects Superman's brightness and optimism, and having no desire to alter it too, makes me happy.

Livewire and Doomsday too! Also, I don't remember if it was addressed anywhere, but since I'm talking about Doomsday, did Superman ever die in the New 52?

Yes.

And Diggle has shown that he can write a terrific Lex,so atleast he'll most likely succeed on that front.
