While we already knew that there would be some changes in store for Superman this coming September, I don't think anyone could of possibly have guessed just how many there would be! Firstly, here is an excerpt from an exclusive reveal over at

Sources at DC Comics tell us...there are some HUGE developments...including the fact that Lois and Clark are NOT together. In fact, we're told Lois has a new boyfriend.
All sounds a bit
Superman Returns, eh? Well, that isn't really too shocking as there have been rumblings about a single Supes for a while now. On the other hand, some of

Additionally, Superman's alien origins will be emphasized in a big way, with the character described as "more Kal-El from the planet Krypton than Clark Kent from Kansas." Superman's deep connection to his Kryptonian heritage also explains his new costume, as seen on the cover of Superman #1. It's "ceremonial armor" from his home planet, with the traditional red trunks abandoned.
Perhaps part of the reason Superman's embracing his alien nature is the loss of his adopted parents. Jonathan and Martha Kent are both dead in DC's post-Flashpoint continuity, a pronounced change from the recent past, and a return to the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths status quo in that regard.
There's also talk of a different status quo at 'The Daily Planet' and a brand new powerful villain who will be facing off against the iconic DC superhero this coming September. What do you guys think about all these drastic changes? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
