"Truth, justice, and yeah I'm not ashamed to say - the American way". When it was announced that in issue #13 of Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort's Superman that the Man Of Steel's alter ego Clark Kent would be quitting his job at the Daily Planet, some fans were a little miffed. If there's one way to make a fanboy angry it's to change the status quo after all! Of course he will most likely be back at some point, but for now it seems Kent will be joining the esteemed ranks of the online blogging community. Anyway, here he is quitting, in a moment very reminiscent of the movie Jerry Maguire..

I literally haven't been excited about anything (besides supes in Justice League) dc has done with Superman since the new 52.

They are changing EVERYTHING surrounding the character

Well... I guess they're trying... I sure wish they could find a way to make him relevant again.

from what i've kind of picked up from the new 52 is that superman is a bit more brash, cocky, and a little arrogant. these are all traits that harken back to golden age and early silver age. i saw the new 52 as an update to a lot of characters and changing of certain storylines, but i don't know if the core of any character has been drastically changed that much. then again, i haven't read every single book in the new 52.

OMIGAWD!

DC dared messing with status quo?

Fellow fanboys, let's get our torches and pitchforks ready!

And yet "Newsweek" ends its print publication after 8 decades.

I would have went with him. That's a damn good speech, and as a reporter, I couldn't agree more.

Yes.... No one would suspect that mild mannered Clark Kent is actually Superman.

Baggy clothes please - was nothing learnt from Birthright among other stories

Superman has been just terrible since issue 1. Almost embarrassing

Finally, a writer who isn't afraid to portray Superman as the American-loving hero he is and not some watered down, neutered, politically correct, cop out he has been since Morrison got his hands on him. TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY!!! Scott Lobdell is the man!

I feel you, Supes. As someone who has a degree in journalism and experience working in the industry, he hit the nail on the head.

Sure this isn't Superboy? Why is he dressed like a (homosexual) teenager?
Looks hot though

Well done, Lobdell, well done. He's a hit or miss writer, but I'd put this one in the hits section. Speaking as a fellow blogger of course.

I thought Superman was a journalist because it meant he was closer to the action, i.e. the media hears about trouble a lot of the time before police, etc, do, so Clark would be one of the first to hear about any problems that he might need to fix as Superman.

What does relevant even mean? How are rich white people with a tragedy in life relevant to me? Yeah Peter Parker is hs was relevant back in the 70's. But the characters has long since been removed and his romances are bs.

Supermans issue I think is that they go out their way recently to make him very alien and go out of their way to isolate him. Even other aliens aren't depicted as so alien.

As someone else posted "Superman changes with the times", this has been true as long as they don't change the core character. As long as DC remembers what makes Superman so popular and iconic is that his beliefs remain as they were originally. It actually is nice to hear him say Truth, Justice and the American way! Don't change Superman's principles, don't make him into a tool.

Until I read those panels, I hated this news. However, now that I know why Clark is quitting the Planet, I'm excited. I was having a bi-partisan discussion about the recent presidential debates with friends and the only thing that we agree on was that news coverage sucks on all levels these days.
This fits Superman perfectly. After all, isn't his greatest ability the power to inspire others and to always stand up for what is right despite how unpopular that thing is? This feels more like something Superman would do than anything that he has done since New 52, so far.

At first I was not sure about this storyline? But after reading more about the storyline, this is very intresting. I'm pretty sure that CK will come back to the Daily Planet. I hope we get to see a WW cameo.

@ManofSuperguy

I think more and more americans are starting to feel like we're Batman...and not sure if we like it. That's why "and the american way" thing feels alot different than when I was a kid. It's not a good thing either.

Where is our revolution?
