To be fair I still haven't read it yet, but a more alien Superman doesn't really mean that he can't relate. I mean, he was raised by humans, its all he really knew. I kinda expect them to emphasize the alien bit by his alien nature or his yearning to learn more about it to come into conflict with how he was raised, but not change how human he can be.

I only flipped through it but from what I saw it seems he is kind of a poor bachelor as of right now.

I WILL READ IT, I just didn't have cash and didn't want to put four dollars on my debit, I'll get it when I get Batwoman >.>

Does clothing matter to him? Is he bulletproof in this continuity? And why isn't this a concern for all the wimmin superheroes? XD
