Superman: Reborn is a four-issue Superman family crossover story arc that was published in 2017. It was told in the Superman (Rebirth) and Action Comics books, with Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason and Dan Jurgens as the writers. It was the first major Superman story arc in the DC Rebirth event.Ever since the pre-Flashpoint Superman's return, he has been haunted by a mysterious man claiming to be Clark Kent, a Clark who was hidden away by the New 52 Superman but returned after his death at the end of The Final Days of Superman. However, things went completely dark when Lois Lane, attempting to discover the deal with this Clark, ultimately blew him off when he attempted to propose marriage to her. The strain of it all has caused him to snap and remember who he was and he'll take everything the real Clark has...The story encompassed the entire March 2017 Superman titles with aftermath effects through other titles. The "Aftermath" storyline in Action Comics in particular focuses on it.Also present in the story is the mysterious Mr. Oz, who has shown an awareness of Superman's place in the DCU and of the wider mystery regarding the New 52's creation. His subplot is dealt with in "The Oz Effect".Core Issues: Superman (Rebirth) #18 Action Comics #975 Superman (Rebirth) #19 Action Comics #976Tie-Ins: Superwoman #8 Supergirl (Rebirth) #8 New Super-Man #10 Superwoman #9 Trinity (2016) #8

Mythology Gag
 Superman Reborn (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The pre-Flashpoint Superman and Lois glow with blue energy. while their N52 counterparts glow with red energy, a clear reference to the Superman Blue/Superman Red era. That's because they are the same people, only separated. Mxyzptlk says his "hot girlfriend"note Ms. Gsptlsnz and "that little weirdo in the Batsuit"note Bat-Mite will come looking for him. Both are drawn as their original comic models. Mxy also sees the original The Silver Age of Comic Books Superman Family, with the classic Superboy.

The Reveal: The truth binding Superman, his family and the dead New 52 Superman is revealed in this story. The mysterious Clark Kent is revealed to be Mr. Mxyzptlk, who escaped being captured by Mr. Oz and, to prevent being recaptured, brainwashed himself into thinking he was Clark Kent. It wasn't until he saw Clark and his family that he remembered who he was. The pre-Flashpoint Lois and Superman and the New 52 Lois and Superman were actually two halves of the same actual pre-Flashpoint characters, split into two beings each for some reason. Mxyzptlk refuses to elaborate in favor of his sick and twisted game.

Cosmic Retcon
 Superman Reborn (Comic Book) / int_7cdfe326
comment
Cosmic Retcon: When the Red and Blue Energies finally fuse into one, it resets not only Superman and Lois, but changes their history and by extension, the history of the DCU. Shown is Clark revealing his identity to Lois, The Death of Superman and Superman: The Wedding Album back into continuity, the events of Convergence: Superman are undone as Clark and Lois gave birth in the Fortress and not the Flashpoint Batcave and restoring villains such as Imperiex and the Hank Henshaw Cyborg Superman. Action Comics #977 ends up putting Superman: Secret Origin back into continuity and removing the Superman/Wonder Woman romance. The birth of Jon now taking place within the main DC Universe also removes the "five years" time span, as Jon specifically states that he's 10, and Clark did quite a bit before he was born. An upcoming Wonder Woman annual will address the doing-away of the Superman/Wonder Woman romance.

Spiritual Antithesis
 Superman Reborn (Comic Book) / int_ce2969d8
comment
Spiritual Antithesis: To One More Day. No really, think about it. Both mark the end of an era for their upstanding hero, but in vastly different ways. One More Day is a story about losing a marriage, a child, and is relatively simple in its execution of dealing with a supernatural being to accomplish this. Superman Reborn is about keeping a marriage and a child, and is pretty convoluted in its explanations with still a few questions left over after defeating a supernatural being to accomplish this.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Mxyzptlk attempts to goad Jon into joining him and bailing so that a greater power than him won't notice and let Superman deal with it. Jon refuses and Mxy bails.

comment
Arc Welding: It's revealed that Mxyzptlk of all continuities - Silver Age, Post-Crisis, DCAU, Bizarro, LEGO - is the same Mxyzptlk. Previous stories had also established Mxyzptlk was aware of his existence as a fictional character. Interestingly, Word of God is quite mum if the Mxyzptlk that showed up during Action Comics (New 52) is the same Mxy or not - the "Who is Mxy?" feature specifically gives his origin there a Shrug of God.

Laser-Guided Amnesia

comment
Laser-Guided Amnesia: When Mxyzptlk turned into the human Clark Kent, he deliberately brainwashed himself to protect Superman's secret identity. After he gets his memories back, he erases Lois' memories of Jon as revenge for Supes forgetting him. Lana seems to be suffering from the same thing, too.

Earn Your Happy Ending: For both the New 52 Superman and Lois Lane, after the crap they've went through both in-universe and from the fans, they're reunited and a happily married couple with an amazing son.
