The Biggest Change Absolute Superman Has Made To Superman (Spoilers)
The Biggest Change Absolute Superman Has Made to Superman is as Big as Any to Absolute Batman and Absolute Wonder Woman
Absolute Batman gave us a Bruce Wayne whose mother was still alive. Absolute Wonder Woman gave us a Diana who was brought up in Hell by Circe rather than a Paraside Island. And what about Absolute Superman by Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval out tomorrow? Previous Bleeding Cool reports revealed a different Krypton, one under a caste system and the Els suffering under it…
… and a Superman on Earth motivated far more by the lowest of the low, far away from any Metropolis or career as a journalist. We already know that this Superman did not grow up in Smallville or with the Kents. However, it seems that the Kent Farm still exists, just owned by those behind the Lazarus Corporation who also employ Lois Lane.
But there's something else about this Superman that is very different to his background. Because no, he did not grow up with the Kents.
He grew up with the Els.
Absolute Superman was not sent to Earth as a baby before Krypton blew up. He grew up as a kid on Krypton… and we're getting a very different story as a result.
