I like the visual, I'm just hopeful that's the only inspiration taken from Byrne.

The Byrne inspired look is fine by me. Byrne always drew a great Supes.
It's everything else he was kind of iffy at, and I hope doesn't provide an inspiration for the new run.
I sure don't. But yeah, that's probably one of the few popular Byrne changes today.

And his supporting cast. They had better not forget Maggie in all this revamp stuff.
The expanded supporting cast (or in some cases the established characters who got renewed development/attention) were definitely bright spots in Byrne's run.
And I like the "corrupt businessman" Lex, though it needs to be paired with "evil hyper genius" Lex to get the most out of it.
I am also a big fan of his version of Krypton.
Beyond that, most of the changes he made I dont agree with at all.

As a completely new reader of Superman, all I can say is..."Ohh no, another title/reboot/version of Superman to keep track of!"
I don't know who Bendis is at all so I don't know if I'm to be thrilled or sad about this news yet. I welcome it though!
Ah, I guess you are right, Miles! and thanks!
Quick bonus question: I don't read comics online. I prefer to have them around to pick up and read...but I don't plan on buying single issues. All current series by DC are put out in trade paperbacks yes? And is there a place online where I can see upcoming trade paperback Superman releases?
WELLCOME to CBR Hooah..
Good avatar, Supergirl is the best character of Injustice 2.
Giving Bendis singular control over a character like Superman is still a bad idea in my view. You either have to like Bendis or be unaware of his work to give him a chance. If you don't like Bendis but like reading Superman, there's no alternative for those fans at the moment. It's either Bendis or nothing.
