I'm getting sick of this "the rules are different for certain writers" crap.

Hard to refute the people's claims that Bendis only adheres to his own continuity when this sort of thing keeps happening with him.
And I enjoyed his Superman runs.

Good riddance to bad rubbish I say. Now if only all his garbage ideas were kicked out the door with him. Usually, I'm not for full rests but in this case, I would gleefully make an exception by erasing Bendis' run from continuity in its entirety if I could. :)

In light of [I]Superman and Lois [/I]I'm honesty tempted to think they're trying to write Lucy out of existence.

There is another option. A more [I]progresive[/I] option. An option than not erases Lucy, than makes the "only [U]daughter[/U]" statement from Lois, true; than explains the existence of that other character from Bendis I don't want to spoil and also makes his revelation true also, AND even, is in the line of the romantic life of Jimmy Olsen. And even more, is in line with the character of Sam Lane who raised her children with the frustation of not having male offsprings.
If you can read between lines, you will understand.

If I'm reading you right, I don't think they'd go that far :p.

I had considered that. I didn't think they'd actually do it, but that would be pretty exciting if they did.
Involving Jimmy's love life, now that is really an exciting possibility.

For me, they went that far with Alan Scott. Now, I believe they can go that far with Lucy.

Curiously, it would be a pretty average relationship compared with other relationships than Jimmy has had.
Great, now I'll forever mourn when DC are too cowardly to make that wonderful idea canon.
Well, I honestly prefer Lucy as Lucy and Lois having a sister but that's just me.
That... is actually a pretty great idea.
They'll never do it.

From Superman: Son of Kal-El 1.

I guarantee you've just given this way more thought than DC did.
Posted this in the Lois thread, but figured it'd be worth mentioning here too, I [I]think[/I] that the cleanest explanation would be that he might be a multiversal refugee that Sam found and raised/trained after Lois & Lucy. That'd deal with Sam having kept it from Lois for a while - he wouldn't have known that she was aware of the multiverse necessarily before she revealed things about her & Clark to him so it would make sense that he never told her about a "brother." And it would keep Sam's parenting of Lois (and Lucy if she still exists) intact with the no son thing.
If not, he looks like he's younger or like 20's at least so that'd mean that he may not have been born until Lois was in her 20's herself. Given her and Clark seem to be at least in their late 30's right now if not 40's.

In the attachment, Lois refers to herself as his "only daughter". So obviously Lucy has been removed from continuity somehow.
