READ ON DEAR READER'S, YOU CAN'T MISS THIS ONE.
Ho boy. Who'd have EVER thought that Superman would be approaching the course set by Batman? I didn't. But DC keeps hitting us over the head with facts that indicate that Supes and Lois are spliting apart.
Word from Dan Didio:
""Let's just say it's [the relationship] being reexamined. Because it's something that I think is something that is so valuable to the character's story that you really want to explore all facets of it. Not just as it exists currently."
Hoy. Now who is doing this rexamination? We know the DCU is turning the clock back a little bit. But that other facets of the characters are remaining the same. So what does this mean for Supes Lane? Well It is this writers opinion that DC might actually have learned from Marvel over the years. They did very clearly with the DCnU. They saw what wasn't working and knew that unless Marvel acted brashly, that DC could easily overtake them with a plan years in the works. And It seems to me that this move might learn something from Spider-Man. And therefore it seems very likely they might possibly *gasp* Divorce Lois and Superman.
I can't say for certain, but a lot of the evidence points towards the DCnU still holding most of Canon in place and so letting Superman grow as a character might result in him and Lois finalyl being seperated. Could Grounded and New Krypton have driven them this far apart? Maybe. But it seems likely those stories are about to get Retconed out of existence.
Now some rumours from yonder back state that Diana of Themescara and Supes might be making a go at it, and wouldn't THAT be an interesting story. And wouldn't it be just like Grant Morrison to not only divorce Superman but to create a love triangle aspect and further sully the boyscout image Superman has acquired over the years? This is the same man who gave Batman a child.
So as DC hasn't OFFICIALLY said anything yet, buttttttt....I'd keep an eye open because after the first Arc from the September relaunch ends, we'll be seeing a very different DCnU.
