DC Comics released a sneak peak at Superman #1, featuring Lois Lane's new boyfriend! Will a Super-Double-Homicide be next?

From The DCU Blog:

This week, everyone's been talking about the new take on Clark Kent and Lois Lane's relationship in DC Comics-The New 52 this fall. Today comes the first look at Lois' new boyfriend, a co-worker at The Daily Planet named Jonathan Carroll.

"Superman is one of the World's Greatest Super Heroes, but he can't have it all," DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee told THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS. "Many of us know what it's like to be the odd man out and we think readers will have a soft spot for Clark when they see his reaction to Lois' new boyfriend."

"In resetting Superman's story and origin, it gave us a chance to revisit the challenges of that relationship in a contemporary setting," said DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio.

SUPERMAN #1, by George Perez and Jesus Merino, flies into stores on September 28th.

"Shut up and get back in bed!"

My god, Clark's so alien, with his jealousy and pining for the woman of his dreams. And his complimenting Jonathan and self-deprecating humor? Unacceptable! What am I going to do?!!???? Aargghhhhhhhhhhhh....

You're only laughing because it hurts too much to do anything else, asshole.

My question: Why couldn't Clark use his super-hearing to hear them fooling around before he came over?

Brooding-induced superhearing.

With the way Lois described him, Superman sounds like a Forever Alone type...which is exactly what he deserves.

The Super-Wet Blanket with armor is to protect his feelings.

This is a travesty and an insult to fans of the real Superman.

Screw you DC. :smt013

Number of years Superman was single - 58 (1938 to 1996)
Number of years Superman was married - 15 (1996 to 2011)

So which is more real?

Jesus...every preview of DCnU i see looks worse and worse. at least they're keeping Lois's characterization consistent with the old DCU...bitchy jock-sniffing skank.
