This is the preview of Action Comics #1002 by Brian Michael Bendis and Patrick Gleason that ran on DC media partner site Syfy a couple of days ago. And it's the last page of which we are going to take far too seriously and pull jokes apart and treat them as important notes of canon. So be warned.

And it's that last page, complete with its recap page text forbidden previously by DC Comics but allowed for Bendis, that we are going to strip down for parts. Or Post-it-notes.

A joke — or something tied into Doomsday Clock?

Definitely tied into Doomsday Clock, the first chronological mention of The Supermen Theory, though Bendis gets the plurality wrong… well, it something overheard. Though Clark should have better hearing.
