If SUperman was a "humanazation" how is making him more kryptonian less human, more Kal less Clark makes any sense?

Grant is one of my favorite writers. The depth of his stories are amazing. All Star Superman stands out as one of the greatest stories ever, and Grant stands out (to me) as one of the best Superman writers ever, and one of the best writers ever. So putting him back on Superman is a great idea.

I'm actually loving Batman Inc. right now. The way he writes brings you into the world of (insert character name here). They truly feel like they are alive. They make you believe.

The song goes "you don't tug on Supermans cape, you dont pull the mask off the lone lone ranger and you dont mess around with Jim". The song should have sung about not tugging on Supermans shorts instead

Why are we not mining the moon for energy?

If it was anyone else writing the new supes but him I'd be done with DC, but putting Grant at the helm has instead got me excited about what they are going to do.

can someone explain to me how Action #1 and Justice Leaque #1 are gonna work? Same Supes? Different universe?

Grant's the man. I fully agree with him that superheroes are a foreshadowing of our future, and that therein lies their enduring resonance.

@valeriesghost, action comics will take place in the past, as will justice league, I'm assuiming that eitrher in JL#1 or the first few issues of Action he will go from wearing jeans and a S symbol t shirt to his full on Kryptonian garb.

I'm not 100% on the exact timeline, but all will be explained once the 52 titles launch
