Calling it now, New 52 Superman is gonna die and New 52 Lois along with him and the ACTUAL Lois and Clark are gonna take their place. Why would I say that? Let's look at the facts.
1: New 52 Clark's identity is public and he's no longer ANYWHERE near as powerful as he once was and even after Truth? That's gonna be the case. With his breed of enemies it's only a matter of time before he shuffles off the mortal coil.
2: BECAUSE he clearly isn't as powerful anymore and people SEE him die? They will accept it this time as him being dead as it's been stated he's "died" before.
3: This allows for one Clark Kent to slip into the world easily enough along with Lois. How so? Pre-Flashpoint Clark is a LOT smarter than New 52 Clark and? Could easily set up a foolproof identity for himself and his family. Hell with people knowing he's Clark Kent? He could claim "Superman" asked for his identity to use and he let his family live in peace as far as that goes.
4: With New 52 Superman clearly dead? This allows the actual Superman to slip in as Superman as well. How so? I doubt anyone would mistake a man in his mid to late 30's dressed in a skin tight super suit with bright red trunks on the outside of it for a guy in his mid to late 20's dressed in battle armor?.
I honestly think this entire Lois and Clark series is DC doing an experiment to see what sells better. THIS Superman or the New 52 Superman and which people would actually want, after all sales are what get DC's attention.
And if this is a success? I wouldn't be surprised to see OTHER New Earth refugees coming in.... And their less interesting New 52 selves biting the big one in some way or in some cases? Retconned into being the Pre-Flashpoint versions and just had amnesia.
Keep in mind at one point they stated New 52 Barry was in fact the ORIGINAL Barry Allen. Only reason he doesn't seem like it being his inexperience in using time travel to change things leaving him with no memories of the original.
