It’s not a bird. It’s not a plane. And what writer Brian Michael Bendis really wants you to know is, it’s not a trick.
Superman will reveal his secret identity to the world next month in the pages of his self-titled series from DC Comics. No more nonprescription glasses and combing back the s-curl to blend in with the society he protects. No more slouching. No more phone booths. (Well, it’s probably been a while since he’s used one of those.) But Superman is coming clean, and Bendis says the new story line he wrote will be a lasting change for the Man of Steel.
“There’s no Kryptonite. There’s no Mister Mxyzptlk [a magical, reality altering foe]. There’s no magic amulet. No Bizarro,” Bendis said emphatically. “It’s a hero who gave a lot and needs a little something for himself.”

Comics these days are so damn lame.
Like who really cares?????
At least they haven’t decided to make his secret identity a woman. Changing into his Superman suit would be a real struggle. Panty hose. Makeup remover. He can’t use a conventional razor.
I thought this was a take on the “Whistleblower” but then I saw it was WaPo.
But will Lois believe it?
hmmm
Anyone who knows anything realizes Supermans ID is Clark Kent.
Had to laugh when they started ‘reinventing’ Superman and the confusion he had when unable to find a Phone booth to change in....
“Bendis says the new story line he wrote will be a lasting change for the Man of Steel.”
Boy, this guy’s optimistic about his skills. ANYTHING can change quickly and easily in comics. Whatever brings in money sticks around, simple as that. When this gets old, bye-bye “lasting change”.
I guarantee he will no longer stand for truth, justice, and the American way.
Bizzarro Superman’s secret identity...
We’ve all know it except for Lois Lame. She never saw through the fake glasses disguise.
His real name is Kal El.
But, we won’t know that until the secret is revealed.
But, I’ve always wondered how it is that in a galaxy far far away, on a planet never heard about until Kal El arrived, that...
The naming convention for the residents of Krypton was the same as for humans here on Earth. First name, last name. Which came first? Kryton, or Earth?
I wonder if the naming convention is the same throughout the galaxy and universe.
Don’t tell anyone, but I heard the rest of the universe puts the sir-name first and then again last.
I always thought Lana was hotter than Lois. Back in the late 50s, I could read the comics for free. Lana was red headed.
The black hair of the Smallville Lana was just as hot.
(And Epstein didn't kill himself.)
Bendis is a Portland puke so probably
Out of the phonebooth?
