Superman (2011), or Superman (Volume 3), is a comic book series published by DC Comics from November 2011 to July 2016. The rebooted sequel series to Superman (1939), it was launched as part of the New 52 branding initiative alongside Action Comics (New 52). However, Superman is set in the present day DCU, whereas Action Comics' three first storylines took place during Superman's early days.The title was intially written by George Pérez with art by Jesús Merino. Subsequent storylines were penned by writers such like Scott Lobdell, Geoff Johns and Dan Jurgens.Following the ''Flashpoint event reboot, the series introduced a new and drastically different Superman as part of an attempt to bring the character back to his Golden Age roots. Hence, Clark Kent was younger, cockier, more impulsive and kind of an angry loner.Unfortunately, sales collapsed during the 2015 storyline Superman: Truth, leading DC to take drastic measures. The Post-Flashpoint Superman was jettisoned and his book was cancelled after fifty-two issues, three Annuals, and several specials.Superman (2011) was followed by Superman (Rebirth), featuring the Post-Crisis Superman and his family.

Broad Strokes: The Flashpoint 2011 event rebooted the DC Universe, but some pre-New 52 stories are considered to have still happened. A few background pictures also seem to mention that The Death of Superman also happened in some manner, but most likely not the way it did in the original universe.

Trauma Conga Line: New 52 Superman's life sucked. In the space of around two years of published stories he (among other things) got nearly killed by kryptonite poisoning, dunked in a Apokoliptian Fire Pit, had his identity revealed to the world and became a social pariah, lost his powers, and got more kryptonite poisoning which ultimately proved fatal and painfully killed him.

Costume Evolution: In the New 52, Superman's signature red briefs were scrapped, and his yellow belt became red and more detailed instead. The texture of the suit changed as well, being more like some sort of armor with seams all over it, and the general color scheme became a bit darker.

Her issues of alienation, grief and anger got worse until she finally flew off the handle.

Karma Houdini: In the New 52 General Zod's second major appearance as a member of the Superman Revenge Squad was a ploy to retrieve his family from the Phantom Zone. During this he believed he shot down Superman's family and also bails on his allies once he got what he wanted. Later he's conquered a primitive planet with two yellow suns, worshipped by natives as a god. When Hal and Kyle pick a fight with him on principle of his reputation, he's defended by the Guardians of Oa as being the aggrieved party, while justifying himself as merely wishing to rebuild his critically endangered culture with his family. In summary he colonized an entire planet but the implications of that are never examined and he ultimately comes out on top whenever confronted about it.

Apparently he still got started on Colu, but he also was the Kryptonian AI, and exists in many places under many names (including Earth, as the Internet).
