Tuesday sees the publication of Christopher Priest, Carlo Pagulayan and Jason Paz's new twelve-issue DC Comics series, Superman: Lost. In which Superman is lost. But is found again. Though there is now a twenty-year gap between him and Lois Lane. And it is something that is going to make an impact on their relationship and the way Superman views them together, given that for Lois Lane, the time passed by in minutes…
Although twenty years is not a lot when it comes to Superman, who – in Action Comics #761 – was transported with Wonder Woman to a demon-fighting battle in Valhalla for a thousand years before returning him to Metropolis. In comparison, this is just a temporary blip. It seems not, however, this is a very different story about trauma, and how what one person goes through that the other does not, can drive a couple apart. But of course, in this case, it's all Batman's fault.
Batman and the Chinese government, that is. And international political stresses, of course. But probably, mostly, Batman. It always is.
"We grew apart" may be literally true in this case. Do you think Superman kissed Wonder Woman this time? Or maybe he kissed Batman? Much, much more to unpack as the series rolls out, it seems.
