Superman: Lois and Clark is an eight issue comic book Superman mini-series written by Dan Jurgens that began in 2015. It is one of a number of spin-offs from the Convergence storyline, as part of the DC You initiative. In the aftermath of stopping the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the pre-Flashpoint Superman and Lois Lane, along with their son Jonathan Samuel, have somehow ended up in the New 52 universe. Trapped in a universe not their own, they've taken new identities and are trying to eke out a new life. But new threats are arising and this may be a job for Superman. At the same time, though, Jon is starting to realize there's more to his life than what his parents have said...This, along with Titans Hunt, are both collected in trade as "Road to DC Rebirth" titles, since they both set up a new status quo of the DC Universe.Later during the Dawn of DC iniative, Jurgens returned to Action Comics to write a series of backups titled Home Again set during this time period, and explore more of Jon's childhood.Do not confuse with Lois & Clark, the TV show from The '90s starring Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher, though the title is indeed a Shout-Out to the series.Tropes:

Retired Badass: Averted. Clark and Lois haven't stopped doing what they do to save the world, but they've had to do it more quietly. Clark's been averting disasters and making sure certain people don't become villains like they did in his universe, and Lois is a famous writer dubbed "Author X" responsible for exposing Intergang's illegal activity through her books, raising the ire of New 52 Bruno Mannheim.

Crapsack World
 Superman: Lois and Clark (Comic Book) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: The initial assessment of the New 52 Earth from the Kents, circa the formation of its Justice League, is that this is a very doubtful, suspicious, and edgy world with little trust given towards the superheroes that live in it, which is another reason Clark has needed to be more stealthy in his endeavors. May also count as Leaning on the Fourth Wall as the description Lois gives echoes the complaints fans have had about the direction of the New 52. The reaction both Lois and Clark have to the events of Superman: Truth also reinforces this assessment.

comment
Mythology Gag / Call-Back: Clark's black-and-silver Superman costume is a reference to the outfit he wore in Reign of the Supermen. Lois discovering Jon being superpowered when his hand goes unharmed through fire was how Clark's secret got revealed to her in Superman II. Jon and Lois getting trapped by criminals and then Jon breaks open the door, inverts a similar scene with Lois and her son in Superman Returns.

The Bus Came Back: The entire premise of the book is the return of the fan-favorite Superman and Lois that fans had followed between 1986-2011. However, their old supporting cast is not returning. As well, it is unknown what happened to the pre-Crisis Barry Allen, Kara Zor-El or Parallax. The first issue reveals that pre-Crisis Kara and Barry no longer died in the Crisis and they and Parallax went off somewhere else while Clark and Lois were transported to the Earth Prime. In Green Lantern, it is shown that Parallax is in this universe too.

comment
Big Bad: The comic features several villains, most of them having little to do with one another; the two with the best claim are Hyathis and Bruno Mannheim, each posing a threat in one facet of the story. The portions of the story with Clark dealing with Hank Henshaw involve the Oblivion Stone sought after by Hyathis, an alien Warrior Queen. She is seen massacring multiple aliens before providing a physical confrontation with Superman. Lois and Jonathan are being menaced by Intergang, and Bruno Mannheim briefly appears a few times. Intergang's efforts end up revealing Jonathan's superpowers, although they utterly fail at killing Lois.

Oh, Crap!: Clark rescues a crashing space shuttle. As he throws open the door, his eyes go wide as he sees the nametag on the first astronaut out: HENSHAW. When Clark's battling Blanque for the second time, Henshaw sneaks aboard an alien shuttle. When the villain's distracted, Henshaw fires a laser at him. Clark comments he didn't know the shuttle still had operational weapons. It hadn't. Henshaw has the subplot's alien crystal.
