New Superman was going to be cancelled, but fan support is sustaining it

Outside of Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps and Batgirl I have not been following the DCU. Its been revealed for awhile that Dr. Manhattan is the one who stole a decade from Earth-0. However, how is Dr. Manhattan a resurrected and evil Jor-el? Or is that what Doomsday Clock is about? It does not make much sense. Does this make Lara, Silk Spectre?

Manhattan is not Jor-El. Mr. Oz is.

What a clever FAKEout, Geoff! "Everyone thought Mr. Oz was Ozymandias!! They bought it!! It's Jor-El, you suckers!! ROTFLOL!!!"

Knowing Geoff, making Mr. Oz into Jor-El probably wasn't even what he planned to do until late into things when some moment of self-brilliance hit him at some frat boy party.

I can believe that. Geoff didn't even have the story for Doomsday Clock finalized until after Trump won the election and was considering never even tying up Rebirth.

Dan Jurgens had also indicated that they had recently come up with something that "fit" the story they wanted to tell, which was probably the Jor-El deal.

What title and issue was this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BJbPcOHyaU

If anyone read it, was it any good? I like seeing Dick Grayson interact with Bruce Wayne, Barbara Gordon, and Wally West.

Today's Action Comics

Spoiler:
We learn the people of Krypton were not killed instantaneously in Krypton's explosion, but burned alive, including Lara. Jor-El is transported to Earth by Manhattan (you don't see him), he's taken in by good Samaritans, who are then betrayed by one of their own and executed. Jor-El kills their murderers with heat vision, then Manhattan abducts him again and goes full Clockwork Orange on him


You guys will want to read today's Detective Comics as well

Spoiler:
Tim Drake learns that Oz is Jor-El, and in trying to escape his prison, he hacks into Oz's computers and unlocks all of the cell doors, he runs into his future self, who is now a gun-toting Batman successor, and they come across an escaped Doomsday

Tom King's interview with USAToday casts more light on the subject.


Spoiler:
It's revealed Bruce comes close to killing The Riddler, with The Joker of all people coming between them. Bruce sharing this story of how this almost broke him is enough to get Selina to say ''yes'' and she tells him their respective tragedies can't compare to the strength of their love

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/...ers/721024001/

According to King, everyone, from the Bat-Family to the League, is going to have an opinion of this

It was the featured article on Yahoo! and I was in the middle of class change when I saw it. The article I posted was just a half hour old so I thought it was news and did not have time to look at other post.

I find it immensely ironic that the punchline of "The War of Jokes and Riddles" is also my opinion on the story.

"Who cares?"

If it weren't for Selina's answer, NOBODY would be talking about this issue.

I am waiting on the trade for that one.

What was this dark secret anyway from the past? Also, was this predating Doc's time as Robin, like a Year Two event?

He tried to kill Riddler but Joker stopped him.

Unclear.

Batman tried to kill Riddler not Joker? I like the fact at least back in the day Riddler only wanted to kill Batman. He picked Riddler because he was sane and had a system,but now. He did not follow through though as you say. What about the monster men? He killed them.
