Superman Split: Lois Lane And Superman Break Up

newsarama.com:

Superman and Lois Lane are breaking up, and that's not the only major change coming to the world's most iconic superhero.

 September's Action Comics #1 and Superman #1 will introduce several major alterations to the character, sources at DC confirm.

Husband and wife since 1996 in the comics, the new status quo will find Clark Kent and Lois Lane not only unmarried, but establish that they were never married in the first place. Clark will be a bachelor, and Lois will have a new boyfriend, one whose identity is yet to be revealed but is said to be a Daily Planet colleague.

That's why it's called a reboot. They'll work the old continuity back in a few years later since that is the life of comics clutter/de-clutter/re-clutter.

A couple titles look good at DC post-reboot but Superman is not one of them.

And the BS continues. Bet it's a ONE MORE DAY rip off, for the same lame reasons; "the readers can't cope with heroes in relationships."

I think it's funny how Superman is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, and pretty much indestructable...yet marriage makes him boring to readers.

What a silly and unnecessary move, even if they are rebooting the whole kit and kaboodle.
