"Following a scene in which Superman mentally and physically burns out from trying to save everyone that he can," DC Comics said in a statement. The plot will appear in "Son of Kal-El" issue five, released on November 9. In a news release titled "Jon Kent learns his identity," DC Comics portrayed the new Superman as "bisexual."
The narrative of the issue will be revealed in November. Still, photos from the comic depict Kent and Nakamura kissing and sitting together atop a skyscraper with their legs dangling over the side. According to series writer Tom Taylor, the growth of this new Superman adheres to the ideals that the character has always represented – and, more significantly, describes the experiences of many comic readers.
