DC Officially Confirms Clark Kent is Returns as Superman
Clark Kent is coming back to his old life in the DC Universe as Superman. A preview for Action Comics #1047 from writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson shows the hero back from his mission in space to pick things up where he left off.
To many, Clark Kent was and always will be SUPERMAN, even when he is off planet.
Well after his long absence (“Warworld Saga”), the hero is finally heading back to Earth and is, once again, donning his classic blue tights and red trunks. To hype up Superman’s grand return….
And fix some of the errors DC has done. (ie, send Superboy to join the legion of superheroes and away from being the Super-(man?) of Earth.
Johnson posted an additional preview showing off the Superman-Family in Action Comics, to assure fans that Clark’s loved ones won’t be taking a backseat just because he’s come back. Still, to see the Big Blue Boy Scout back on Earth is a sight for the sore eyes of Superman fans. The liberation of Warworld has been Clark’s mission for some time now and, with that chapter behind him, a new status quo can finally be explored.
And the road to Action 1050, which DC has started to hype as well.
This all makes the Dark Crisis “event” meaningless as well, as to date it has not effected Superman at all (the truth Superman/Clark Kent/Kal-EL).
