This whole outfit just seems like a really ham-fisted attempt at trying to make Superman more relatable to the readers by making him a "down to Earth" kind'a guy. He's wearin' a t-shirt, blue jeans, and work boots. Next thing you know, we'll see him with a six pack and watching a Giant's game. That outfit reminds me of when Bibbo tried throwing his hat into the Superman battle during the Reign of the Supermen.
This young Man of Steel story really sounds as if they are picking up right where Smallville left off.
The first part of that DC statement contradicts itself. How is it that Superman is struggling to adjust to his adopted planet if he was raised by the Kents? That would more be him struggling to understand this duel identity he only later discovered. That would imply that he was old enough to remember his life on Krypton (or wherever they are making him from now.). Though, how is it that he's that old and still struggling with that? You struggle when everything is new. Not when you've been living somewhere for a few decades.
These statements caught my eye:
This pretty much shows that it's a reboot and not a "revamp" as DC has been pushing. They call this "present day continuity". If you are removing one of the larger moments of the character's history and treating it as if it never existed. That's a reboot. A revamp is giving it a twist but it's still there. Not removing it completely." And in the SUPERMAN ongoing comic book series, by writer George Perez and artist Jesus Merino, will be set in present day continuity and will unleash a series of new challenges for Superman and his alter ego Clark Kent.
* Clark Kent is single and living on his own. He has never been married. "
That is the worst possibly cliche in an attempt to make a character more relatable. To make him "brooding" and angst-ridden. I feel as if I should laugh. They tried that in the 90's where publishers made all those brooding protagonists. How many of them lasted? That's Batman's bit. He actually has a reason to be brooding." Timeless and modern, classic and contemporary, but younger, brasher and more brooding, this is Superman. The New Man of Tomorrow. "
G-Man said:
Sorry, but I have my metaphorical pitchfork within arm's reach. Just at the moment it looks like a glass of orange juice." Before people grab their pitchforks over the marriage being nonexistent, I suggest reading the first few issues first to see if it matters. "
