Superman has
decided to quit journalism, His alter ego Clark Kent is quitting the Daily
Planet, the Metropolis newspaper where he's worked since the first Superman
comics were published in the 1940s.
The plot twist,
prompted by the Daily Planet's takeover by a media conglomerate, is one of many
to appear in the new edition of Superman that goes on sale on Wednesday in both
digital and hard-copy forms.
Leaked panel
"Why am I the
one sounding like a grizzled ink-stained wretch who believes news should be
about, I don't know, news?" says the Man of Steel, according to a leaked
panel that appeared on the Newsarama.com website.
"This is
really what happens when a 27-year-old guy is behind a desk and he has to take
instruction from a larger conglomerate with concerns that aren't really his
own," new Superman writer Scott Lobdell said.
There was no
immediate confirmation from Superman publisher DC Comics, itself part of the
Time Warner multimedia empire, but Lobdell posted a link to the USA Today
article on his Twitter account.
