Diane Nelson came in with a mandate from Warner higher ups that that everything needed to be edgy, different and radical.

It’s why they should have just admitted the new 52 was a failed Alt U rather than running rebirth by half-fusing the two and then ditching continuity completely with “everything is canon”.

As it’s own Alt u they wouldn’t have even needed to launch Absolute and could have just continued with the new 52 universe in a OGN/Digital-to-Paperback format.

Morrison was one of the worst offenders at the time. His action comics is fucking terrible and his indecisiveness specifically derailed the Superman office.

Nothing about new 52 Superman was good at all. Including Morrison’a run.

IIRC, one of the two Superman creator estates was getting antsy at the time about the royalties agreement and threatening to pull permission to certain characters like Lois Lane. So DC tried to "integrate" Superman further into the collective DC Universe as a precautionary measure. And since 90% of comic nerds operate on "Woman of Kleenex" logic, it was decided that Wonder Woman was the only character strong enough to take the D

That's a funny way of explaining how DC was trying weasel their way into claiming more ownership of the Superman copyright had not the estate intervened before the rats at Warner succeeded on that rug pull.

Man why in the new 52, everyone became gay, an asshole, or a whore. or worse! The combination of those 3 traits!
It was like reading the original marvel ultimate universe again.

New 52 undid all the relationships so everyone could explore other romance options. That was what Didio forced on everyone. And no marriages although Aquaman and Mera got away with it but I feel that was Johns getting preferential treatment.

They died and later became energy that merged with the replacements from Convergence. But then Superbro came back during Sideways but didn't return to Earth.

Morrison also got to finish his Batman run even if it wasn't exactly canon but still kind of was. I enjoyed both but letting them continue things really messed with the idea of canon starting over.

I remember Snyderfag weirdos defending this shit, going, "Well ACSHUALLY, Lois Lane sucked, has always suck, and was never a good romantic interest for Clark."

Fuck it was such a shitty time to be a Superman fan and a DC fan in general.

Nah, don’t get me wrong, they were the worst up until that point. But everything after 2018 has been even worse. Outside of those first two years of rebirth everything has been easily the worst era ever for both the big 2.

It sounds similar to Superboy's 90's costume with the red pants and leather jacket.

It's a red leotard/onesie where the top is a different color than the bottom but it would sort of give you the idea of what red pants might look like. There is a version of the Superboy costume (similar to what he wore on Young Justice) where it's a black Superman t-shirt with a simplified red logo and regular cargo pants or jeans. That version came out at around the time where they were having more characters wear street clothes because they wanted to make it easier for cosplayers to dress up as those characters.

Also, weren't Lois and Vlark living civilian lives during N52 while raising John? Pretty sure John was born early in N52, so the possibility of replacing N52 Supes may have always been a consideration.
