    Default Are any New52 elements surfacing in the Superman Reborn era?

    So, when SuperDad and New52 Superman were combined and the timeline changed to something that sort of unified them and made them one person with one history, we kind of knew it'd mostly be SuperDad just being native to the current DC Comics universe instead of a refugee, but some of us had hopes that some New52 elements and personality traits would surface.

    In the issues where this happened, they showed that the new current Superman once wore the high collar costume and fought Uylesses, and of course Superman has some adventures in Action Comics with a Lex Luthor, who became a good guy towards the end of New52 era, though that would have happened even had he not been merged.

    Other than that, I haven't really seen any New52 elements after the Mxy storyline, but the last issue of the main Superman issue I read was Superman #25, which must be like 10 issues ago now or something. I'm a bit more current with Action Comics.

    So, has anything happened in the issues of Superman title that might appeal to a New52 Superman fan like myself since the last issue I read? Or is it just Jon Kent and his Dad continue what they were doing before the merger of the Supermen except as natives of this universe with red boots?

    Anything in Justice League or Metal or any other books?

    Well Lex Luthor is probably the big one. Still basically his new 52 self besides growing up with Clark. Still a good guy, gradually getting on better terms with Superman. They'll likely turn on each other soon in the Imperiis Lex arc. Also don't follow Kara or Lana, but I hear it's the same deal, basically continuations of their new 52 selves.

    Wasn't New52 Kara an angsty teen that tried to knee Barry Allen's head into non-existence?
    Rebirth Kara has been, other than her age, based a lot on the tv show version.

    Super sons had a flashback to batman: hush in a recent issue and showed superman's new 52 costume and not his trunks suit he had at the time. Also a recent issue of nightwin had a flashback to truth era n52 Superman. Besides that, things have been focused on the current times.

    I can't say so, and I empathize with its fans. There is nothing I personally miss, although I thought the first year from Morrison and the first arc from Pak were fantastic and would gladly welcome them back. Only, I'd swap his Metallo for the current one and get rid of all the Brainiac stuff they did after Bedard.

    But Hush is still a Pre-Flashpoint story. I don't know if this really counts.

    Yes, but I figured op just wanted to know if any references to the new 52 era was made and I would qualify that costume being shown as one.
