Can someone give us a little summary re what happens with Superman so far? I am not following the series but picking up some individual titles but interested to hear what happens to him.
I think that it has something to do with the Superman/Batman Future's End tie in.
The cover depicts Superman smashing a bat-mobile on Batman and in the Batman issues, he is depicted wearing what appears to be a supportive exo skeleton on his back.
Only real clue we have from Kal is that he claims he doesn't want his powers used for evil and feels he should be helping in smaller ways. Whatever that means.
And whether it has to do with his leaving the role behind or not, count me as one who totally thinks Superman breaks Bruce's back.

That's...confusing. It's not as if his powers are so super special that whatever he's afraid of couldn't be done with other heroes like Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Shazam, Martian Manhunter, etc. It's also not as if Doomed has shown us that even when in a precarious Superdoom state, he couldn't stay away from helping people. I hope when the whole truth is illuminated, it'll make more sense than the vague explanation we've gotten so far.
Honestly I don't really care about the idea of the mantel of Superman passing onto Superboy or Supergirl. That if anything makes some kind of sense. The idea of Shazam giving up his superhero identity and taking Supermans is odd. Shazam is his own hero, with his own following and style. He doesn't need to pretend to be Clark. So I don't know what your bitching about, because I never said Superboy or Supergirl couldn't take up Clark's mantel, just that Shazam has his on identity to live up to.
A little more info; it appears that among the superhero community, that Superman is Billy Batson is not a secret. At least, Stormguard (a new hero, almost a Captain America type), seems to know and treats it as no big thing when Lois asks him about it.
I'm getting a funny feeling Diana died. I know we've seen Wonder Woman, but I'm wondering if its Diana, much in the same way that Superman turned out not to be Kal-El.
