Thanks for the warning. I agree. The Batman people really need to get their act together.

Back in my youth I remember a short period where Superman was transformed radically in every issue: giant brain Superman, gorilla body Superman, robot Superman, teen-punk Superman, lobster Superman. There was even an issue where everybody on Earth had Superman's powers except Clark Kent, who was the only "normal" human in the world. It seems we'll never run out of Superman stories*. I'm looking forward to the darker Superman. (Maybe he'll finally fry Lex with his heat vision. He lobotomized him that way on an alternate Earth.)

Thanks for the updates and details, Orren.
I guess I really need to catch up.

* In 1978 there was a Superman vs. Muhammad Ali one-shot (72 pages). Don't cringe. The plot actually made sense. It was re-issued in 2010 in hardcover.
