Geoff johns just wrote the new52 justice league, that's it. Pak, snyder, Morrision.. Etc wrote some great books of the era.Tomasi,jurgen..etc aren't even comfortable with something precrisis loner in characterisation. But, clark having trust, anger, rejection issues is quiet natural. He should deal with these thing. If lois can have abandonment issues. Clark should go through this stuff. Now, i am not saying its necessary. But, both precrisis supermen went through this stuff. Both goldenage clark and silverage kalel. It's part of characters history. There is a reason kalel dreams of krypton in "for the man who has everything". Its a story that work better with that guy.But, i acknowledge that his solitude is his own making. But, that's the tragedy.
And let's be honest, many are not familiar with any other superman other than postcrisis guy. There were guys in this very forum calling the goldenage vigilante, not superman. But, that is further from the truth. There can be no superman without the goldenage guy. Every other superman is a deviation of that guy.
