I think, in the case of Superman for the modern era at least, it's a case of morals. It's subtle, but superman has always shown an increasing amount of distrust and rebellion towards authority over the years despite having the moral foundation of someone from the 1920's-50s. Unlike Cap from Marvel who has reasons to maintain these morals, it doesn't make sense for Superman to continue to maintain this moral mindset in an increasingly modern setting, some of which are dated things like 2010 or 2012 (have to check this, can't remember the name or issue). After all, there's only so much you can stretch the "raised with old fashioned values" line or in the case of the movies, insert an Uncle Ben style character motivation. Here's how I'm picturing this, as a chance for meta commentary on the way the world is going. Assuming we backdate the comic by 3-6 years, let's say Clark is in his early 20s (21 making him the youngest and most outspoken to 24 making him the most social issue active; though I think the first could be fun as he and Batman could bond over more than just rich boy vs farm boy or more often the man vs god narrative they have). That would mean, assuming it's set between 2018 - 2021 (let's face it, the last couple of decades definitely qualify as darkseid energy), this'll let the authors readdress recent issues with the benefit of some hindsight, and get people interested since this'll generate talking points about the comics outside of the DC fans. And back to Clark, assuming he's in the 21-24 age group, he would have been raised in the 1997-2000 era to start and gained powers in a world where the world is rapidly losing faith in government, the world economy is violently fluctuating, civil rights issues are more outspoken, primary industries like *farming* are suffering, corruption in industries are coming to light, war and death are a constant throughout the world, violence on civilians by civilians is an epidemic, etc. Assuming that at the earliest the Kents find him, they're 25, to the latest being say, 50: That would mean the Kents themselves grew up in the 1947-1972. 1947 - severe decrease in need for crops & surplus due to increased production needed for wartime led to prices plummeting, the beginning of the cold war, the drought that hit Kansas in 1952, etc. 1972 - when floppy disks were still not widespread, the pentagon papers were published, Roe V. Wade and the end of the Vietnam War next year, etc. Even if you make the Kents 50 when the adopt Clark, both they and he will have grown up in a very anti-government era, especially because their main source of income is suffering, and information is becoming more widely available. I'm guessing we'll see a more anti-authority Superman, which, most likely, grew up unknowingly under constant government supervision. Cause the US would definitely have detected his ship due the investments in satellite tech. Honestly, I'd love to see if he gets ideas from his powers because he's on internet forums that discuss superheroes. I mean the older versions of Batman was a nerd who used his favorite comic as a password for the Batcave. Maybe there could be a comic series that pops up in the background that is the basis for these forums, a commentary on the previous versions of DC's continuity. The only reason I suggest this is because of the theory that people with a high enough level of strength and durability can swallow coal and shit diamonds. Blame Greg Vader in Worm Fanfiction.

[@Birch123-z9p]

@@Pat12379 how is that the whole point. They are space cops and it used to be 2 per sector with Guy as a backup and Allen as his own thing. Now earth is just so important that we need a billion. There are too many to keep up with and the difference for the most part are surface level. 1 well written character is worth 1000 poorly written ones and none of the new lanterns have been well written from what I have seen and even if they were it would be better if the development went to preexisting characters. New characters should only be created when they have fundamental differences from old characters and every lantern by default is a space cop with specific powers based on their defining trait of will power. If they really want to have this new lantern and they don’t care about legacy characters then why taint the legacy characters with this. Have this new universe have a new lantern and develop them. The reason they have so many lanterns is cause they are trying to do everything everywhere to a point where it degrades the brand and characters.

I have a feeling that after the Rumored Martian Manhunter book the next ones are going to be a Absolute Aquaman or Hawkwoman or Cyborg series cause I don't think they are going to introduce the Titans for a very long time and DC keep trying to push cyborg as a main Justice Leaguer when everyone wants to just see him in the Titans which is b******* if you ask me. Now if they're actually going to do Aquaman then I hope it's actually Arthur Curry not DC going in another direction and instead introducing a new version of Mera as Aquawoman. The Hawks could go either Hawman or Hawkwoman but I would prefer a new version of Kendra Hawkwoman because she is more popular as a Leaguer. I would also love an Absolute Shazam! And an Absolute Green Arrow that way we could get all the main leaguers out of the way. Also ABSOLUTELY NO DEI! That is the most important thing for it to succeed.

Supposedly in something they established Superman as like, the core of the dc universe when Dr Manhattan recreated it or smth, so then Darkseid would be the ‘dark side’ of that. It’s different from Dark Metal’s negative universes bc this seems more like an Elseworlds or Earth-3 situation rather than a whole new cosmology

[@DeaconBlues117]

The conceit is that Superman is all about hope and bringing order, so Darkseid energy is all about darkness and chaos - which, of course, Our Heroes will have to fight against. Implication is that unlike the main universe(s), they won't always win, but they won't give up either - I mean, Diana literally fought her way out of Hell here, so...
