Do it!

Okay, here's another one: Superman lost something in the mid 40s that he didn't get back until 2011, and that I never, ever want to see him lose again. As a result, every event where Superman could potentially go back to being more like the pre-Flashpoint Superman scares the shit out of me, because I'm afraid Superman will go back to being, emotionally if not literally, forty years old like "Clark" in the L&C book. And I never need that again; Superman should be young.
