Tomasi wrote Clark mostly angry during Truth but this fight with Magog on the bridge was quite good.

Truth could have been done so much better. Great moments like this lost in the way they allowed it to drag and the lack of consistency among the 3 writers. Maybe Pak might have handled it better if he'd tackled it alone. If new 52 Superman never comes back...I believe DC will be looking back in years to come and kicking themselves.

There is a lot that could have been better. Oh well.
It would have been more disrespectful if the cape was reduced to ashes. It's the only irreplaceable part of the costume cause belonged to his father Jor-El. It's not some random kryptonian artifact that he can recreate in the Fortress.
New52 Superman should take back his cape personally. It's his cape and his Lex to deal with.
I want Lois to beat him up with her new powers and take the cape from him. Then wear it herself until (hopefully) Clark comes back.
"They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son." - Jor-El
Yeah I'd like to see him fight his Lex. After all the Darkseid War shenanigans and other arcs where Lex was even more prominent than Superman in JL. Or ironically...if Lex was affected by the new 52 Superman energy and he did wear that cape and actually was influenced to do some good. That is what it's all about anyway...Superman's example served to make others do and be better.
Good people doing more good is cool and all but imagine a rotten person being influenced to change for the better. That is the more poignant battle fought. Can you imagine our Clark's face? I mean Lex might not be guaranteed to stay good forever but for this time...if he is part of the Reign of the Supermen...should be interesting to see if he could feel or do anything selfless.

without being Kryptonian it seems that his experience with superman will make use his powers quickly.

I quite liked the last issue of Johns run where after using Solar Flare he was powerless but he suited up and still managed to stop a thug.
