@saintwildcard:
I don't know why so many people are harsh on Lana. You can's just say "Get over it! It's Superman", her parents died and she will always feel a bit of anger deep inside her which is what the lasso was making her feel. She's grown not to blame Clark and their friendship has gonna back to normal. I have no comment on Perry White.
As for parasite.... maybe, but I don't think that be a very great twist. He could be referring to a random moment or maybe we'll see him in the Meta Human Fight Club that Superman is gonna be joining. You can see that Clark is trying his damndest to not touch him so Parasite isn't absorbing anything. Clark also probably no longer leaks solar radiation (like in All Star) like he used to cus he's no longer full of it. Clark only made physical contact with him once, he did kick him but that was with boots on.
If I'm being harsh on Lana is because she deserves it. The same way she deserve it when in the pre-New52 she set off Lexcorp staches of kryptonite and filled the planet atmosphere with it. It isn't because it's Lana, but because of the person saying what he or she says. You know I'm not one to go around picking on characters for no good reason.
The same way I also mentioned Perry White. It's the same thing. Both in this case, especially this case (being forced to tell the truth and all) we got to see what they really think, even if they don't say it to Clark face.
Lana has no right at all to be mad at Clark. Thousands of people died, it wasn't just her parents. And if she wants someone to blame why doesn't she blame Lois? After all it was Lois that helped Brainiac with the mind energy theft. If Lana was blaming Lois I couldn't say anything because Lois is to blame. She might have been under the control of Brainiac but that's not really an excuse, when Lana decides to blame, the only one person that had no blame whatsoever. By the same logic why not blame general Lane? If he wasn't so obsessed with stopping or killing Superman by any means, Superman wouldn't have been forced to leave the Earth, and maybe he could've helped more.
I'm harsh on Lana because at the end of the day she's blaming someone that holds no blame. The same way I'd be harsh on Clark if he blamed Lana for his parents death. If he wasn't at the prom ball with her, he and his parents would most likely stayed at home, and no accident would've happened. But it's not fair to blame her for it, is it? Of course not.
True. Superman did his best not to touch or get touched by the Parasite, but there's one small detail it seems you're missing. Even if the Parasite is close enough he can drain energy. And we both know he can drain pratically anything. Superpowers, life energy, just energy. He's like a universal battery. Everything goes.
And you got to admit although he wasn't able to touch Superman he was close enough to drain him of his energy, even if by proximity alone.
And then he said obviously, that he should be stronger, faster, bigger. But he wasn't. It was like he couldn't absorb anything from Superman. And even if Superman can no longer absorb solar energy, he still has his life energy, that at least the Parasite should've been able to absorb. But nothing.
Also, the guy that took down the Parasite. If I'm not mistaken he looked a lot like the guy on Superman-WonderWoman #19. When Diana was taking Superman back to the shelter after he got shot. There was a guy watching them on a screen and when he saw how bad Superman was hurt he said "It's working".
I know I can be reading too much into all of this. But all this events, plus the fact that Truth has been a chronological nightmare. Maybe I'm starting to see things that aren't there. Or maybe they are. And DC is just using this chonological mayhem, to let small things get through the cracks.
