August 29, 2010: DC Nation Panel at Baltimore Comic-Con

Superman: Earth One The low-key DC Nation panel at the 2010 Baltimore Comic-Con this weekend saw artist Shane Davis give some details regarding the progress of the up-coming "Superman: Earth One" original graphic novel. Here's an excerpt from the ComicBookResources.com report...

    Shane Davis has finished work on "Superman: Earth One" with J. Michael Straczynski. Advance black and white copies are floating around the DC offices, featuring a story that panelists described as "an amazing way to reinterpret the character."

    Davis shared that "Superman: The Movie" director Richard Donner has said of the book that he "believes every word of it." It's a look at Clark Kent as a 21-year-old out in the world. Davis used for reference buildings from all around the planet, striving to make Metropolis truly appear as a metropolis - a crossroads of countries.

    "Like EPCOT!" Palmiotti chimed in, which got quite a chuckle from the assembled fans.

    It was explained that "Earth One" is not so much a retelling of the origin of Superman as much as it is an investigation of an experience in his life that maybe hasn't been investigated clearly before. Sattler said he read it once to be able to write the DC Nation piece about it, but he was so compelled that he wanted to read it again.

It was also revealed that Supergirl will team-up with the Legion of Superheroes in her own title in the months to come, followed by a 2-part Cat Grant story involving the Toyman.
