    Folks, is it me, or do feeling that Superman's death is going to happen after the "TRUTH" arc?

    Tell me what you think?

    I thought they sort of glossed over Superman's death in the New 52? I mean, it could happen, but I feel you're more likely to see the death of Clark Kent as opposed to Superman.

    Don't think that's gonna happen. In fact I think it already happened.

    In the New 52 we've seen characters mention that event, we've even got a scene in the Daily Planet, when Perry was talking to Clark for him to return to the Daily Planet, and on the wall, framed, was a news article that said The Death Of Superman.

    As others said it did happen. But I personally wouldn't be looking forward seeing it again since it is a very overplayed concept.

    The continuity of it is very confusing. It supposedly has happened, it's been referenced in other comics aside from the Superman line and even in Superman Doomed #1, Dr Veritas implied Superman had fought Doomsday before in its 'larval form.' On the other hand, some of Soule's writing in Superman/Wonder Woman otherwise implies that this is the first time Superman has encountered Doomsday in the flesh. Textbook New 52 DC continuity and inconsistencies in this example.

    A clear example that DC Comics left and right hand, don't know what the other is doing.

    Pretty apt analogy, can't disagree with it either.
