It's called bad writing, Spiderbob.
Ya see, they got Jim Lee doing art, Jim Lee who just came off of the award-winning "Hush" storyline in Batman, which of course was very well written.
Now that Lee is a marketable quality again, on a major mainstream book, the editors did what could be considered a wise move. They put him on a book that has a crap writer, just to make him look good and make the book sell. Now that's Brian Azza-what'shisname, as for Chuck Austen's 'writing,' I don't think even DaVinci could save that dreck.
Lawyers, put your briefcases away, it's just my opinion, okay?
And as far as my opinion goes, the real Superman - epitomized by the Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age versions - died in the Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985. The next best thing, the version recreated by John Byrne, died when Mr. Byrne left the books.
I don't know who the latest clown is, but in my book, he ain't Superman.
