Max is devoted to her heritage whereas Clark goes his own way mixing his heritage with his upbringing.

He chooses Lois who he doesn't even know if he can have a child with. He chooses selfishly, to pick love over an obligation to try and continue his bloodline. I've talked a lot more about that in her thread, but to be succinct, there was a lot of potential to Maxima both with respect to her own character and Clark's.

There's a lot there to deal with, but New 52 Max is basically a story about a teenager coming out of the closet to conservative parents. It's a good story and one that's worth telling, but compared to what you're losing it's just not unique enough to really do much with.

New Max is just not as interesting. They have nothing left to do with her.

I have no doubts they'd go with New 52 Max if we ever see her again, though.
I thought old Maxima was pretty fun myself...
