Superman: Truth is a Superman family crossover story arc taking place after Convergence, as part of DC You. It is told in the Action Comics, Batman/Superman, Superman/Wonder Woman and Superman titles. The writers in charge are Greg Pak, Peter J Tomasi and Gene Luen Yang.The story arc feature quite possibly the most unexpected change in Superman's status quo: his secret identity has been revealed to the world... by Lois Lane. His life no longer private and his powers decreasing, Superman embarks on a journey across the United States, seeking to rediscover his heroic nature.Truth concluded in Superman: Savage Dawn.The effects of Truth were reversed in Superman (Rebirth) and Superman Reborn. A Spiritual Antithesis storyline of the same name was later done in Superman (Brian Michael Bendis), this time with Superman himself revealing his identity to the world under his own volition, rather than someone else revealing it in circumstances beyond Superman's control. | |

Darker and Edgier: Instead of being the Ideal Hero we all know and love, Superman is an angsty and brooding figure, although given what the story puts him through, you really can't blame him. His traditional suit is gone and his cape is ripped to shreds. | |

The Worf Effect: Actually used to Superman's advantage with his power loss. When the Parasite ambushes him when meeting the President, Superman has an easier time beating him because with his powers reduced, the Parasite can no longer absorb them as much as he could before. | |

Man Behind the Man: Barack Obama. Yes, that Barack Obama. While he had nothing to do with the way that Steve Trevor and the rest of Homeland Security treated Superman and his friends and family, he gave passive approval for them to act. When he learns just how bad things have gotten (from the mouth of Superman himself), he gives Superman his reassurance. | |

Violently Protective Girlfriend | |
| Superman: Truth (Comic Book) / int_2c437b06 | comment |
Violently Protective Girlfriend: Wonder Woman implies she will be this for Clark, as her inner monologue states that "no harm will fall him while she watches over him" while he sleeps. Sure enough, when the Suicide Squad open fire on Clark, she lets them have it. However, the trope seems to be Deconstructed as Wonder Woman goes behind Superman's back and uses her lasso to find out everything about everyone and it pisses Superman off even more. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Superman: Truth (Comic Book) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths/What You Are in the Dark: Wonder Woman uses her Lasso of Truth on Superman's friends to know what they really think about him after his secret identity was ousted. Jimmy felt glad Superman shared his secret with him, considering it a huge show of trust between them. Perry felt betrayed Clark hid his identity from him and thought Clark only wanted a job in the Daily Planet to sell his story. Mr. Santiago, an acquaintance from Smallville, is not happy about people turning on Superman even after everything he has done for them. He also points out the hypocrisy of people saying they want the truth but not wanting to hear it once they get it. Lana feels Clark is special and his identity deserved to be protected but she still resents him from failing to save her parents in the Doomsday incident. Steel says Clark was right in hiding his identity, considering he and Lana were kidnapped when his identity was ousted. Mrs. Takahara, Clark's school teacher, says Clark wasn't exactly a remarkable student but realizes he was a good person. Now, she understands every time he asked permission to go to the bathroom, he did it to save someone in danger. Cat Grant says she always knew Clark was hiding something, but she thought he was attracted to her, not that he was Superman. | |

Brought Down to Badass | |
| Superman: Truth (Comic Book) / int_51a485d1 | comment |
Brought Down to Badass: An as-of-yet unrevealed event (currently believed to be Superman's latest "power", the Super Flare, as well as getting nearly killed in Batman/Superman Annual #2) caused Superman to lose a good portion of his powers. He can no longer fly and instead uses a bike for transport. That said, this is Superman we're talking about. Powers or not, he is never to be underestimated. | |

Superman tries to talk down Ukur realizing his actions when he was powered harmed Ukur's world, only for Batman to stab the villain in the back, causing him to run off and declare war on the surface world. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: Perry White, normally a Benevolent Boss and Reasonable Authority Figure, who is usually characterized as having great admiration for both Superman and Clark Kent, and even implied to be a Secret Secret-Keeper because he just respects Clark/Superman that much, behaves more like J.Jonah Jameson when Clark's identity is outed. To be fair to Perry, this is right after he was injured when the Planet staff were taken hostage to draw out Clark. | |

Everyone Has Standards: Some cops disagree with Binghamton's order to attack Superman and use excessive force on non-violent protesters. One of them even attempts to end the violence and gets punched in the face for his efforts, by a fellow cop. This expands towards when Binghamton's exposed as a Shadow Beast. At an earlier point, Lois decides not to reveal Superman's identity after she found a tape of him strapped to an electric chair and watched him being electrocuted, freaking her out immensely. However, when HODOR has Superman in a Sadistic Choice, she tosses that aside. | |

Cool Bike: Superman's bikes in the story arc. First, he uses a regular one but loses that bike during Batman/Superman and ends up "inheriting" one of Bruce Wayne's Batcycles. | |

Irony: Perry White is upset Clark has been withholding his secret identity from him and asks Jim Gordon, the new Batman, how would he feel if one of his police officers was actually Batman. Consdering Gordon admits Perry has a point, this means the irony is not lost on him. | |

Break His Heart to Save Him | |
| Superman: Truth (Comic Book) / int_c4500946 | comment |
Break His Heart to Save Him: When confronted with the Sadistic Choice of allowing HORDR's specialized robots to absorb Superman's power via Super Flare or exposing his identity to the world, Superman did the former. However, Lois, absolutely refusing to let Superman be harmed, revealed his identity to the world as she felt exposing his identity to the world would be better than allowing HODOR to have a stranglehold on him. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Superman: Truth (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Superman snaps at Batman for striking Ukur, telling him that he's "sure as hell not Batman!" Superman loses it when Lois reveals Superman's identity to the world, feeling that she had no right to expose his identity when he could have figured out a way to save the day somehow. He does it again towards Wonder Woman when she opts to use her Lasso of Truth to get information out of everyone. At this point, both of Superman's loves have essentially betrayed his trust. When his identity got ousted, Perry lets Clark have it for supposedly putting the lives of his fellow reporters in danger just so he could he keep his "lie of a life" a secret. He even throws away Clark's glasses and fires him from the Daily Planet. Lana gives Lois a very cathartic right hook for everything she'd done. | |

No Ending | |
| Superman: Truth (Comic Book) / int_ea2e9f2d | comment |
No Ending: Because Truth was only a way to establish Superman's new status quo, the arcs end without an actual resolution. The stories in the four books end with Superman foiling the villain's plot but the villain escapes to fight another day. Superman: Savage Dawn is in fact a direct continuation of this storyline and reveals that Vandal Savage was behind everything, even including the loss of Clark's powers. That storyline concludes with Clark being repowered, almost just in time for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. | |
