I dunno, I just don't get the reasoning behind superhero fans sticking themselves into silos in which they seem to care only about one specific flavor of a character they love and getting all worried because of an upcoming story featuring that
exact flavor of Superman might actually do something with him that is written by the
same guy who created that version of Superman. This is a moment for celebration and excitement, not a time for worrying about what might happen to him. He's Superman. He'll save the ^%&ing day, of course, because that's what Superman does.
I like Superman. Period. Underwear. No underwear. Tights. T-shirt & jeans. Dad. Married. Single. The only thing that really matters is whether the stories are good.
With the notable exception of Morrison & Pak's stuff, the New 52 Superman was either a creative misfire or simply classic Superman in an overly-complicated costume. It was the same deal with the Pre-Flashpoint Superman stories, most of which were also not that good.
Look, I can sympathize with fans of the New 52 Superman. I spent almost two decades with a Superman whose character arc seriously consisted of being born on Earth, being raised by Kents who allowed him to use his abilities to become a popular high school football star and didn't die so Clark could get advice whenever his otherwise perfect yuppie life as the world's most powerful and admired superhero was causing him some minor inconvenience, who rejected his alien heritage, died punching a Hulk knockoff to death, got resurrected with a *&$#ing
mullet by the very same alien heritage he'd rejected, then married the smartest and most gorgeous woman he knows. Wow. What a compelling character arc! I am
shocked that Batman so easily overtook Superman in popularity during this period
But, you know something, despite all my problems with the Post-Crisis Supeman, he was
still Superman. There were still
so many great stories told with him. I didn't view the other versions of Superman I preferred more to be completely distinct characters that wasn't the guy appearing in Superman comics every week fighting Bloodsnot or whomever and finally deciding to check out Van Halen in
1995. Superman is Superman. The specifics of his status quo and history may change, as they always have, but the character remains the same.
I'm not worried about what's going to happen to the T-shirt & jeans Superman because he's in good hands. Morrison isn't going to rub salt in anyone's wounds because he understands something about the character that few creators do. Superman isn't going anywhere. Superman is never-ending idea that cannot be stopped by corporate edicts, legal wrangling, editorial mismanagement or mediocre storytelling.
Superman is.
