Talking about taking over and writing the Superman comic book for DC ALl In, Joshua Williamson said "Superman is going to be a really important part of the stories moving forward past All In,… We're going to be doing some big, new stories in Superman. One of the things is, we're going to be introducing a new Superwoman. That'll be a big mystery, of who the new Superwoman is, and how she got her powers. But also, we're going to have the return of Doomsday. One of my favorite comics of all time is Death of Superman, and getting to play with Doomsday and doing some really cool, big action sequences with Doomsday is really exciting. One of the biggest stories I've ever done at DC is going to be in the Superman title."
I mean, it's not a mystery really. It's in their DC October 2024 solicits and solicitations.
