Well, well, well, looks like there’s a new Superman in town, but he’s a bit different from the one we all know and love. You know, the one who can fly around, lift cars, and save the world all before breakfast. This new fella is part of what they’re calling the “Absolute Superman 2024.” Now, don’t get me wrong, it ain’t your old Superman in a spiffy new suit, no sir. This one is a whole new ballgame, all shiny and new, from the ground up, as they say.

This new Superman ain’t like the one who grew up in Kansas under the bright yellow sun. Nope, in this new story, he’s got a whole different kind of power, and it ain’t just about strength, though I reckon he’s plenty strong too. They’re calling this new Superman’s powers “different.” He don’t get his strength from our regular ol’ sun, but from somethin’ else. That’s somethin’ new for sure, and makes ya wonder how they plan to make this guy even stronger than any Superman we’ve ever seen. Y’see, this ain’t your average superhero—he’s gonna have to be tougher than the toughest, stronger than the strongest.
The story comes from a feller by the name of Jason Aaron, who’s writing it all down for us. The artist, Rafa Sandoval, is puttin’ all them pictures together, while Ulises Arreola’s doin’ the coloring. They’ve put their heads together to create somethin’ big. It’s not just about the Superman we thought we knew—this here’s a whole new world they’re tellin’ us about. Now, if you’ve been keepin’ up with DC’s changes, you’ll know that this is part of what they call the “Absolute Universe” or AU, which started last year. It’s a whole new continuity, different from the DC Universe (DCU) we’re used to.
Now, before you get too excited, let me tell ya, this “Absolute Superman” is part of a bigger plan. DC’s makin’ a whole series with their “Absolute” heroes. You’ve probably heard of “Absolute Batman” and “Absolute Wonder Woman” too. All these new versions are comin’ out with new stories, new challenges, and new powers that you ain’t never seen before. They’re calling it the DC All-In initiative, and it started in October 2024. Big things, big changes, and big stories. It’s like the whole DC Universe is getting a new coat of paint, and let me tell ya, it’s lookin’ real fresh.
This new Superman’s not just another superhero with fancy powers. He’s gonna face challenges that no Man of Steel has had to deal with before. The folks at DC say he’s gonna be stronger than any Superman we’ve seen, but they ain’t givin’ away too many secrets. All we know is that he’s gonna need every bit of that strength to survive in this new world they’ve created. And it ain’t just about the fightin’. There’s a whole new mythology around this fella. It’s somethin’ new for the fans, and boy, folks sure are curious ’bout how this is all gonna turn out.
There’s a lot of talk about this new Superman’s “origin,” too. Now, you might be thinkin’, “What’s so different about his origin?” Well, I can’t spill all the beans, but this Superman ain’t gonna come from the same place he used to in those old stories. His past and his future are lookin’ mighty different. It’s a big ol’ reimagination of the whole story, and folks are already excited to see what kind of Superman they’ll get. And if you’re wondering if this new Superman is gonna fit in with the rest of the heroes, the answer is—well, that’s another mystery we’re all waitin’ to find out. But I reckon, wherever he goes, this Superman’s gonna stir up some dust.
There’s a lot more where this came from, but if you’re hopin’ to get the full scoop, you best start keepin’ an eye out for the “Absolute Superman 2024” comic. It’s got a lot of folks talkin’, and if you ask me, this new Superman’s gonna change the game. So, stay tuned, because there’s a whole new kind of hero in the DC Universe, and he’s comin’ to shake things up in ways we ain’t never seen before.
