DC has released the new design of Superman for Earth 2 and it seems as if it actually is still Clark Kent.

“Mourning the death of his beloved, Superman carries both a sadness in his heart along with the weight of Earth 2′s welfare upon on his shoulders, while never showing this and seeming to all that he is this world’s peerless champion,” said EARTH 2 writer James Robinson.

“What would you have to do to teach Superman to kill?” asks EARTH 2 editor Pat McCallum. “He’s endured the loss of his home world, and now the Last Son of Krypton must weather the death of his soul mate Lois Lane. Just how far can you bend the Man of Steel before he breaks?”

Oh wow, Earth-2 really does seem darker. Not inherantly a bad thing, just completely unexpected. Whatevs, just show us Alan, Ted, and Jay already DC!

Agreed. I would have loved to see more about the rest of the team, but there are two months left before the series starts so we will probably see more reveals.

@Adnan: Indeed, much darker than I thought it would be. Originally Earth 2 used to be the lighter, more Silver Age based version of DC Earth. Seems the other way around now.

I like the Costume I don't like the could Clark be killing thing, I'm hoping that if he and batman do then the first arc will be the JSA coming out of retirement in order to stop the current crop of heroes from killing

It's really upsetting me that Jay, Alan, Ted, and who ever else is in the JSA have to suffer on such a horrible earth. They deserve better than! :(

@UltimateSMfan: That would indeed be humorous.
