Wow, someone's bitter. Personally I just wish they'd bring Stephanie Brown back, she was legit.

Also, the whole "melancholy alone amongst aliens" thing existed well before New 52, but you knew that. ... Didn't you?

Eh. I've always felt that story worked better for Martian Manhunter than it did for Superman - in part because Superman has always felt much more at home in the human world to me than J'onn J'onzz does (compare the way they present themselves to the world - Superman is an impossibly perfect, handsome human specimen, Manhunter is a weird green freak. compare their jobs - I mean, I think the concept of feeling like an outcast/exile/stranger has always been a huge part of the topos of the private eye, even when the private eye is not actually an alien, whereas I would argue that being a newspaper reporter is much more integrated into human society. and ofc compare their personal relationships to humans).

So it never really rang true for me to think of Superman as a melancholy alien because that's not really the way he's presented, in comparison to Manhunter. And in a lot of ways, the two characters are extremely similar in their origin and concept, so the contrast between that element is all the more striking.

Sure, Superman had his 'melancholy alone' alien moments before, but it's just really been multiplied by ten in the New 52 and The Man of Steel movie. I mean, in the New 52 Jonathan and Martha Kent are already dead. Compare that to the old continuity where Smallville was his safe haven, he always had the support of his earth parents, and he was married to a human woman, and he had the trust of the public and the government.
