I was interested in your opinion on one of the only elements in this book that bothered me - doesn't it seem like Kara is going to get short thrift with this new Superman "moving in" to the Fortress and, basically, stealing her inheritance? He even picked up the crystal meant of rher and then turned off the message. I was hoping (albeit not optimistic) that Kara would take on the mantle in a very literal sense. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-51220181552745329642016-06-08T22:16:01.244-04:002016-06-08T22:16:01.244-04:00Oz says neither are who they think they are, so we...Oz says neither are who they think they are, so we'll see. And Jurgens in that same interview then asks the counter question of, is Oz even right in his assumptions? So it sounds like there's to be many twists and turns. I just hope there is a plan and that plan sees fruition and isn't botched by Berganza and co as so often happened in New 52 tales.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-26049675433751085432016-06-08T06:43:21.124-04:002016-06-08T06:43:21.124-04:00Good pick up on the other 2 bolts Jay.

The idea they sought out others is very interesting.<br /><br />As for the New 52 being the tweaked pre-Flashpoint, I suppose it opens up the idea for the older Supes to be anyone. Or another pre-Flashpoint Superman?<br /><br />Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-36721227527208915922016-06-07T22:53:34.549-04:002016-06-07T22:53:34.549-04:00So where did the other two bolts go? There are fo...So where did the other two bolts go? There are four in total. Two hit a mark on-panel. Two cascade outward to parts unknown. Are two other characters going to start displaying Superman-like characteristics? I could see it being a situation where maybe they figure out that to bring new 52 Superman back, the four recipients of his "full essence" have to unite together for some sort of ritual. Only Lois and Lana don't know who the other two are. And what if one isn't willing to help? Like a certain bald mad scientist who hates Superman anyway?<br /><br />Also interesting is that I've been operating on the idea that they were going to retcon this Superman as being the proper Superman of this Earth. But in the most recent interview, Jurgens is still insistent that he's from a parallel Earth. And if the New 52 IS actually pre-Flashpoint Earth, just altered as Rebirth tells us, wouldn't that actually make New 52 Superman the pre-Flashpoint Superman? In which case is it Superdad that's going to be revealed to be an entirely different version? Could be somehow be the original Kal-L instead?Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-45731082550990335142016-06-07T16:06:01.101-04:002016-06-07T16:06:01.101-04:00I have a question .

I'm OK with this Lana reckoning she could break into the tomb, after all, she's an electrical whiz these days, and Steel's girlfriend - who knows what she has in her kitbag. <br /><br />So, new bet, next issue begins with Superman using his heat vision to shave off his beard... maybe as Krypto scratches at the front door of the farm.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-57767785477204264472016-06-03T17:56:41.868-04:002016-06-03T17:56:41.868-04:00"And yet, it was the New 52 Superman that hon...<i>"And yet, it was the New 52 Superman that honored the Kents with statues in the Fortress (albeit very recently). It wasn't the pre-Flashpoint Superman that gave proper respect to his Earth parents. It is a bit of a twist for me, seeing the two Superman differently.<br /> <br />It was, as if, I had become so set in my ways of thinking of the New 52 that maybe I overlooked some of the good it gave us. Fascinating ...<br /> <br />Even Superman realizes that is was some emotional oversight. "</i><br /><br />I would point out that the emotional urge was different between the two men as one set of parents had died quite early in his life while the older Superman's parents had not. Hence no urge to erect statues in his Fortress, and those <i>are</i> memorial statues after all.<br /><br />I enjoyed this issue and was left surprised to have done so. It isn't the easiest of premises Peter Thomasi has to write for, and it really isn't the way a Superman relaunch should be formatted by, but right from the very first page the atmosphere and tone of this Superman book was refreshingly reassuring and a world away from the desperation and deep angst that tended to hover over the young Superman. I was struck when putting it down that apart from Clark reminiscing over his battle with Doomsday to Lana not one punch was thrown in this story. There no fights here, no bitter arguing, just two people talking and dealing with a loss. I thought no better example of what a superior Superman this is than his winning over Lana Lang so quickly, despite the incredible situation he presents by confronting her. He puts her at ease in a very natural and rational manner that I can simply not associate with the younger Superman, he was a character so emotionally volatile I doubt he had it in him to inspire that sort of faith and trust like that. Bar Greg Pak's Superman that is...<br /><br />I found it a very good read in all.
