Warning: Superman (2023) is a direct sequel to events in Superman (Phillip Kennedy Johnson), Superman: Son of Kal-El, and Dark Crisis, so Late Arrival Spoilers for those comics may be unmarked on this page.Superman is the February 2023 relaunch of the DC Comics hero, written by Joshua Williamson, and art by Jamal Campbell. It is part of the Dawn of DC publishing initiative and Superman's 85th anniversary celebration.Williamson's relaunch will pick up Superman's status quo in the aftermath of the pivotal events of Action Comics #1050 (and in tandem with Phillip Kennedy Johnson's Action Comics and Tom Taylor's Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent).The series sees Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and the rest of their supporting cast coping with the ongoing repercussions (and benefits) of Clark's now-restored secret identity, the fallout from Dark Crisis, and threats to Metropolis both new and old — most of all a now-imprisoned, but ever still manipulative and dangerous Lex Luthor. | |

Deal with the Devil: Thanks to Lex being in jail, Superman is given Lexcorp to do as he sees fit, even having the building modified to host a large S-Shield instead of the L and being renamed "Supercorp". Supes doesn't like this at all, knowing there's something fishy about it. | |

Powerful and Helpless: The Superfamily is a group of Kryptonians, some of the most powerful beings in the universe under a yellow sun, but they can't do anything other than contain the people infected with microscopic versions of Parasite, as they have no way to cure them or even get close without risking infection. | |

Unwanted Assistance | |
| Superman (2023) (Comic Book) / int_24b88e85 | comment |
Unwanted Assistance: Superman is attuned to hear certain people above all others. Unfortunately for him, one of those people is Lex Luthor, who spends his prison sentence surveilling Superman's fights and offering "advice" on how to end them more efficiently (i.e. with brutal pragmatism Superman would never employ). He also hands Lexcorp over to Superman, which includes a mockup of Jor-El's hologram in Lex's image that gets Clark's hackles raised. | |

| Superman (2023) (Comic Book) / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Mercy Graves presents herself to Superman as not being loyal to Luthor and believing in the good Superman can do. As soon as Superman flies away, she calls her boss to notify him about Superman's departure, making it clear that any apparent differences between her and Luthor are a mask. Superman calls her out on this when they meet again, as he could tell she was lying through her teeth due to her heartbeat. | |

Super-Hearing | |
| Superman (2023) (Comic Book) / int_292bd59e | comment |
Super-Hearing: A plot point in issue #5. Due to the battle with the Order-enhanced Silver Banshee, Clark's super hearing's temporarily knocked out for at least the next day or two. This is exactly the outcome the Order was after, since they know Lex is using this to remain in constant communication with Superman. With Clark for all intents "deafened", they're able to successfully assault Luthor in prison — and all with Clark blissfully and ironically unaware that a desperate Lex is calling him for help. | |

Character Development | |

Character Development: As established during the Action Comics prelude, Lex has ironically gone from despising Superman and declaring the world doesn't need him to (grudgingly) conceding Superman is needed. Lex being Lex, however, he still took the wrong lessons away from that development. | |

Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones | |
| Superman (2023) (Comic Book) / int_44a77de8 | comment |
Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: Clark admits that Lex may be the only man he's ever fully given up on. Given Lex's many, many attempts to take over the world and otherwise cause lasting harm to Superman's friends and family, it's not hard to imagine why. Even still, Clark feels awful about it due to their history even as Lois tries to assure him that Lex is the one who gave up on himself. This is then subverted when Lex helps Superman save the day before returning to a cell without complaint. Given that Lex had every opportuntiy to escape and professed his desire to help Metropolis, Superman gives him a signal watch like Jimmy's as a sign that he's willing to hear Lex out and take his help. | |

Friendly Ghost | |
| Superman (2023) (Comic Book) / int_5ac26edf | comment |
Friendly Ghost: Downplayed. Marilyn is described by DC as an Anti-Hero and claims to be a hero who rose up to haunt the night in the wake of Superman's departure to Warworld. While she shoots at Superman as a "warning shot", she also recharges him with moonlight after his powers were drained by Parasite. Given how she asks if Superman believes in ghosts and slips through his fingers like fleeting mist, it's implied that she's a ghost from the days of the Wild West and Metropolis' founding. This is confirmed when we finally get her origin, by which point she and Superman are much firmer allies. | |

Although Superman is ready to subdue her when she attacks him, her new boyfriend Jimmy Olsen pleads for the chance to talk her down before violence breaks out. While it takes a lot of coaxing to calm down the panicked Silver Banshee, it succeeds and she's left off easy thanks to Superman's good word. | |

Hazy-Feel Turn: Lex seems to be genuinely convinced of Superman's mission and that he could be a force for good... but only if he follow's Lex's terms. Lex constantly advocates for brutal pragmatism and efficiency that goes against everything Superman stands for about showing people a better way. He also hands Superman the reins to LexCorp all while trying to convince him to see things the way Lex does. It's later shown that Lex is sincere about working with Superman and even goes back to his cell without complaint. While Superman may not agree with Lex's methods, he understands that Lex's expertise is invaluable and gives him a signal watch as a sign that he's extending the olive branch. | |

Stating the Simple Solution: Superman disarms Parasite by pointing out that Parasite's countless copies have already eaten almost all of the power in Metropolis, meaning that an all-you-can-eat buffet is right there before him. Upon realizing this, Parasite instantly stops fighting Superman and goes to devour his copies instead. This has the side effect of making Parasite so full that he's completely immobilized, neutralizing him as a threat. | |

Ignored Epiphany | |
| Superman (2023) (Comic Book) / int_9053903 | comment |
Ignored Epiphany: Kinda with Luthor's response to his aforementioned character development; it's complicated. Due to said development, Lex does acknowledge and accept now that the world does need Superman. However, this is Lex Luthor and so that realization is being filtered through his egomania. So Lex's acceptance completely misses the point and lessons of the epiphany, emphasizing a self-centered rather than selfless interpretation and perspective. | |

Power Parasite: Parasite himself appears near the end of the first issue just as Superman is about to go confront Lex about the Supercorp debacle. Unbeknownst to Superman, an entire pack of Parasite-like beings are hidden in the bushes and they all grab him as he looks on in shock. | |

Death by Secret Identity: Enforced by Lex. Using Manchester Black to restore Superman's secret identity also made it so that anyone who is reminded afterwards suffers a powerful brain hemorrhage. Perry almost died from it, and it's essentially a gun against the heads of everyone in the world. | |

It's Not You, It's My Enemies: After being coerced into attacking Superman and Metropolis, Silver Banshee lies and said she never loved Jimmy, because if she has no one she cares about, the supervillains won't be able to hurt anyone she loves. Jimmy manages to talk her down and allow Superman to defuse her connection to the Phantom Zone that's making her powers dangerously unstable. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Superman (2023) (Comic Book) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Issue #5 is largely a light-hearted affair detailing Silver Banshee's whirlwind romance with Jimmy Olsen, with the worst thing to come out of it being Superman's Super-Hearing being damaged for a day or so. Clark and Lois enjoy a Double Date with Jimmy and Siobhan and everyone is happy. Then the villains take advantage of Clark's lack of super-hearing to stab Lex in prison with Superman blissfully ignorant. | |

Meet Cute: Jimmy and Siobhan McDougal, better known as Silver Banshee, meet while she's putting up flyers for her upcoming concert. One of those flyers is blown away by a stiff breeze before being caught by Jimmy, who remarks on how old-fashioned flyers are in the digital age. But he also likes old-fashioned, given his preference for bow ties, and the two soon enter a whirlwind romance and move in together. | |

She seems to derive her powers from the moon and recharges Superman with moonlight as a "warning shot" at the Daily Planet after he was drained by an ambush from Parasite. | |

Oh, Crap!: Clark is clearly panicked when Jon tells him that he hasn't been able to find Lois since the night began and they had to quarantine all of Metropolis to keep an exponentially-increasing horde of Parasites from escaping. Clark has this reaction again when he discovers that the entirety of the Daily Planet's staff has been turned into clones of Parasite... and that he is turning into one too. | |

Unwitting Test Subject: Parasite seems to have become one of these, as he claims to Superman during their fight that he was experimented on by an unknown group, which has increased his hunger even more and seemingly given him the ability to clone himself by infecting others like a zombie plague. The end of the issue shows that whoever these new antagonists are, they've gotten their hands on Bizarro as well, and are performing surgery on him for unknown reasons. | |

Horror Hunger: Superman is attacked by a rapidly multiplying horde of Parasite clones at the end of the first issue.

This is why the number of Parasites has been growing exponentially as the night goes on, infecting Lois and the rest of the Daily Planet staff... and Superman. | |
