COMICS: See Clark Kent Pull A "Jerry Maguire" In SUPERMAN #13

Thank god Scott Snyders doing a superman title because this has been a disaster since issue 1

Yeah, what's with taking off the glasses? Does he do that now? Looks good though.

I literally haven't been excited about anything (besides supes in Justice League) dc has done with Superman since the new 52.

They are changing EVERYTHING surrounding the character

so...now superman can vomit on a screen and get paid for it :)

@weneedrevelation - i disagree. i believe paper will never go away

when the television first came out, people were of the opinion that radio would soon be dead. as it turns out, radio is still here and very prevalent. i talked with my comic shop owner about this and we both agree that there will always be people who will want to turn pages. i am one of those. i love the paper and ink

make mine tangible :)

And yet "Newsweek" ends its print publication after 8 decades.

Yes.... No one would suspect that mild mannered Clark Kent is actually Superman.

Baggy clothes please - was nothing learnt from Birthright among other stories

That's not the point, tho, is it?

This should be interesting, can't wait to see what happens

So this superman is starting to sound a little anti amrican

Finally, a writer who isn't afraid to portray Superman as the American-loving hero he is and not some watered down, neutered, politically correct, cop out he has been since Morrison got his hands on him. TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY!!! Scott Lobdell is the man!

Sure this isn't Superboy? Why is he dressed like a (homosexual) teenager?
Looks hot though

I thought Superman was a journalist because it meant he was closer to the action, i.e. the media hears about trouble a lot of the time before police, etc, do, so Clark would be one of the first to hear about any problems that he might need to fix as Superman.

someone had to say ti.. glad it was superman.

As someone else posted "Superman changes with the times", this has been true as long as they don't change the core character. As long as DC remembers what makes Superman so popular and iconic is that his beliefs remain as they were originally. It actually is nice to hear him say Truth, Justice and the American way! Don't change Superman's principles, don't make him into a tool.

Until I read those panels, I hated this news. However, now that I know why Clark is quitting the Planet, I'm excited. I was having a bi-partisan discussion about the recent presidential debates with friends and the only thing that we agree on was that news coverage sucks on all levels these days.
This fits Superman perfectly. After all, isn't his greatest ability the power to inspire others and to always stand up for what is right despite how unpopular that thing is? This feels more like something Superman would do than anything that he has done since New 52, so far.

I agree MrEcko

wow a lot of racist/american supremacist people around here. for me, superman's never really been as much specifically about patriotism as he has about the core american *ideals* sure he has waved his fair share of flags but it isn't really what he's all about. and just because grant morrison is a terrible writer doesn't mean superman can't be written in an interesting manner while he stands for the ideals, as opposed to a specific country.

like here. his speech about journalism/truth was pretty great, and more importantly superman-like. you don't need to throw in lines about "the red, white and blue" to be honest to the superman character.

and, I think this looks good. i like that he's motivated by 'truth' as opposed to pride, like i initially thought he'd be.

This is a case were an iconic character such as Superman is reduced to an Avatar that speaks the mind of the writer.

And even though there may be truth to the opinion that News Organizations such as Fox news are more about promoting on air personalities, the fact is Newspapers and TV News have been used to promote ideology and personalities for decades.
And now that FOX NEWS blatantly pushes the republican agenda as it masquerades as non biased news, those on the other side see how wrong such tactics are.

The problem with Superman being used to voice the opinion of the writer is they've just done the same thing. They've pushed their opinion in the guise of entertainment as FOX and others do so in the guise as news. And to draw actual attention to this stance they have Clark Kent quit the Daily Planet while voicing their words.

If Superman sees the Newsmedia as the doctrine pushing machine it is and he doesnt like it, a Superman should stay and fight to change it and to be a force of legitimacy inside it not run from it.
But the goal here was to voice a belief and bring attention to it. And if Mr. Writer has an opinion he should start a blog, submit an article to a newspaper or Tweet it but not use a beloved icon to hide behind as he attempts to voice it.
This is another example of DC and MARVEL completely forgetting what they're jobs are: produce entertainment.

look supes is a global hero ......he said that when he was more usa bound .saying he fights for truth justice and there american way ..isnt a slap to all other countries or to say we are right they are wrong ....its to say he believes in the ideals that made up our country ...the rights we have that others dont ...to be free and worship and believe in whatever you want without presicussion ..to persue happiness ...them things ..not our government agenda lol

I thought it was a great issue, the art was solid and at no point did I get the feeling supes was gonna go blog about anything. And im actualy starting to like this new superman. Of course he's diffrent, he's younger more brash, but over time I can see him becoming more like the superman of yesteryear.

I agree with everything superman juat said
i always thought the daily planet was a JUST news source perhaps they changed i dont know i havent even read superman in a while other than the #0 i read the other day
might have to start picking up superman im curious to know jow he was on krypton before he was even born
But yeah definatley excited for SNYDER/ LEEs new superman series

I'm not mad that Superman is moving to the internet. I'm mad that he's quitting the Daily Planet. What, the Planet doesn't have a website???

Still, this preview makes me a little less mad.

@darkmetal If the other side sees how wrong such tactics are like you say then what is MSNBC? I don't see you mentioning MSNBC in your post I guess it is ok only when your liberal agenda is the one being pushed, right?

after that kind of speech he should have just flown out of the window, then people would have really thought about what he said.
