It's been six months
since Doomsday,
by the death of
Kal-El of Krypton.
Better known to us as Superman.
My guest is commentator,
G. Gordon Godfrey.
Sir, you've written an editorial
in which you call on us
to reject so-called "Supers,"
and effectively
become our own heroes.
We have an infestation, Cat.
It's out of control.
You're writing about
the mysterious new Superman.
Oh, Eric!
Look, Cat, the reality is,
these are "Supermen"
we know nothing about.
But they're actually
making a difference.
Did they make a difference to
We already have,
difference-makers.
- The police...
- The Justice League, the Titans.
But, Cat, the point of
my editorial
is to say that
it's time for human beings
to stop relying on
Leagues and Titans,
So, we should each
be our own Superman?
I mean, isn't that exactly what
these guys are doing?
Get a message to Mannheim.
Tell him, Snakey Doyle's
got the business in-hand.
We'll see him in five to ten.
Stop fooling yourself, Cat.
The "Man of Steel" is dead.
We saw the body.
Before it vanished.
Look, we have no idea if
a Kryptonian can even die.
I mean, where's the body?
Who cares?
The real questions
here are far more pressing.
Who are these new guys?
Why are they here?
What is their place
in a world without a Superman?
I hate it!
Buck up, Troupe.
Writing's fine,
just a crap headline.
We'll fix it later.
Now, I want angles!
Sullivan?
Law enforcement angle.
Crime stats. "Have the
Supermen made us safer?"
I love it. Change "Law
enforcement" to "Millennials"
and "Crime stats"
to "Re-tweets."
Are the Supermen trending?
Troupe?
LexCorp charity gala tonight.
Wrong.
You're covering the big launch
of the Justice League's
Watchtower.
Have the new
Supermen been invited?
Lombard?
Uh, I... I don't really
think there's a sports angle here.
I love it! Kent?
I meant the Kent angle.
"Missing persons following
the Doomsday attack."
"The search for survivors."
I think Lois
is covering it, Chief.
Don't call me "Chief."
Lane, what have you got?
Great Caesar's ghost!
Where the hell's Lois Lane?
It's okay, Lois.
We've got you.
Jimmy packed up his desk.
He has a box, but I haven't
been to the Planet since...
When I'm there, it just
reminds me that he isn't.
I should've called.
I wanted to.
I'm just glad
It was such a big secret
to keep from you.
I loved him too.
- I tried to tell him, but...
- Oh, honey...
He knew.
I just...
I can't believe he's gone.
He might not be if you
watch that damn Grant woman.
Jonathan!
Clark's body disappears,
and suddenly these new Supermen
show up out of the blue.
What if one of them
really is Clark reborn?
Not possible.
I would know.
Of course. I just mean...
There are a lot of
unanswered questions.
When Superman first
showed up in Metropolis,
nobody knew what to make of him,
because nobody knew
what to ask him.
I knew what to ask him.
I know what to ask these guys!
I'm sorry, I gotta go.
I'm glad you called.
I'm glad you came.
I was hoping you could help me.
- I'm following...
- I never thought of us as rivals, you know.
Are we?
Kal-El and I had a special bond,
but you were
the love of Clark Kent's life.
Anyway, I'm relieved he
finally told you everything.
Apparently he didn't.
I'm sorry. For an Amazon,
I have surprisingly
few girl friends here.
