That was like two weeks before the movie was coming out and around that time the solicits for ACTION #50 and SUPERMAN #50 ,which originally featured Nuperman and Superdad meeting as Truth was winding down, changed suddenly, Then Pak and Yang's departures were announced like, a day prior to the publication of those respective last issues and then this current story was announced as the bridge to REBIRTH all, like without a few weeks.
It's too much a co-incidence that comics Superman is dying right after his movie counterpart dies, and his replacement in the comics is wearing a costume similar to movie Supes.
