Still might[...]

One month ago, the comic book series Action Comics saw the now-outed Superman, defending the neighbourhood in which he grew up, against the police, ordered to burn the place down, due to unfounded fears of Kryptonian infection And it breaks out into violence.

We should just[...]

But it must have been something pretty bad. As Action Comics: Futures End #1 basically has him back to being a farmer And not one willing to use his superbreath to bring rain, or whatnot.

Everyone loves that Helmet of Fate these days, don't they? Moving on… A Batman unmasking in Batman Eternal may get pageviews, but not as many as an iPhone 6 unboxing, surely? There are priorities.
