Newsarama.com is reporting that after the DC relaunch there will be a lot of changes to Superman like:
"Superman's alien origins will be emphasized, with sources from DC saying that he'll be "more Kal-El from the planet Krypton than Clark Kent from Kansas."Superman's deep connection to his Kryptonian heritage also explains that new costume, as seen on the cover of Superman #1 and the Jim Lee/Geoff Johns Justice League #1. It's described as "ceremonial armor" from his home planet.
They suspect it is because that both of Superman's adoptive human parents are dead.
And they continue to say that Lois and Superman are the latest "clebirty couple to split":
Superman and Lois Lane are the latest celebrity couple to split up, according to a report on TMZ.
The gossip blog cites "sources at DC Comics" in their report that Clark Kent and Lois Lane are not only unmarried in the post-Flashpoint Superman #1, they're not even together. Lois has a new boyfriend, according to the site, though the post doesn't say who it is.
Since the announcement of the September "DCnU" relaunch, rumors and speculation have flourished that Superman's marriage was as good as dead, but this would be the first confirmation from the publisher. Last month, DC co-publisher Dan DiDio told the site PopcornBiz that the marriage was being "reexamined."
Superman #1, by George Perez and Jesus Merino, is scheduled for release on September 28. That series is set to take place in the present, while the Grant Morrison-written, Rags Morales-illustrated Action Comics #1 details the Man of Steel's early superhero career.
So what do you think of the upcoming changes to Superman?
