Wondering how we Superman fans feel about this, and whether it matters that Superman was the first hero.

Feels like DCEU synergy which is stupid. Are they throwing Rucka’s Year One out of canon and redoing WW’s Origin AGAIN? Supes was not going to be the first hero anyway once they started teasing bringing the JSA back so I’m not too bothered by it.
It's not as *much* of a conceptual kneecapping for her as for the JSA, but still a bad idea that serves neither party, especially since they just last month put to bed that they weren't public as superheroes and ESPECIALLY especially given this throws Wonder Woman: Year One out the window. I wonder if this might actually be because of Scott Snyder: he's said forever he wants to write her and he's made clear he'll be writing a JSA book. Maybe the continuity shift'll play out of the Crisis-scale end of his JL run. If the JSA's kept to the shadows with Superman still as the first publicly, Wonder Woman as their first and leader could be neat, but it's not worth ditching Year One and honestly Diana's the Leaguer Snyder has the weakest grasp on; shame she's the one he's apparently taken with. Unless it's Hippolyta, and while her being the first ever superhero would be...odd, it'd still be worth it to avoid messing with things too much further.
Buh-bye
It appears to take into account all the reboots and whatnot. It's not a straight timeline so who knows how its going to play out.

Well there are rumors that the WW84 movie will be a sort of reboot of the DC films continuity... sigh
It looks that SM is part of the 1st generation too. It's visible that Krypton exploded at the beginning of the 1st Gen. Clark Kent name is visible too in the 1st Gen. timeline.

Comicsbeat: "When describing the first two generations, DiDio said, “I don’t remember reading those exact stories.” Strongly hinting there would be comic storytelling to flesh out the parameters of those generations and how they fit. He also repeatedly described this forthcoming timeline as the basis for the entire DC Universe moving forward."
Am I to understand this translates to us getting a new look at Superman's origin? They've been extra vague about it since Rebirth, but with Bendis getting so comprehensive with all of his work on Superman, it was only a matter of time before he got to go to the origin, year one, and so on.
"Mark my words! This drill will open a hole in the universe. And that hole will become a path for those that follow after us. The dreams of those who have fallen. The hopes of those who will follow. Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, drilling a path towards tomorrow. THAT's Tengen Toppa! THAT'S Gurren Lagann! MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!" - The Digger
We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.
Where? I'm not making that out

Superboy seems to be mentioned in the column about the senate banning superheroes.
Didio's interview is not promising. He sounds just as unsure as a fan would be, meaning that once again there is very little meaningful planning and its all being thrown together on the fly. I'm just not seeing the difference in approach here and with the New 52. I mean, not planning properly with the history is still the same as not planning properly without the history.
