February 4, 2015: Dan Jurgens Talks About "Convergence: Superman"

Superman #1 Across March and April DC Comics will put their normal publishing schedule on hold for the "Convergence" event, which will resurrect characters and stories from previous continuities. Newsarama.com caught up with Dan Jurgens to get further details on "Convegence: Superman" and find out if there's any future for the pre-New 52 Superman and Lois Lane. Here are a few excerpts from the interview...

    Q: What can you tell us about where Superman is as we pick up his story?

    Jurgens: This picks up on the Superman that was most recently seen before the events of Flashpoint and the emergence of the New 52.

    Clark and Lois are still married, of course. They're actually in Gotham City, along with Jimmy Olsen, as they were there for a news writers' convention.

    Let's just say that they've been more or less trapped there, with some unfortunate realities imposed on them.

    Q: OK, let's talk about the story. What's the main threat for Superman?

    Jurgens: The Flashpoint characters - most notably Batman, Subject 1 (their Superman), Cyborg, Captain Thunder and Abin Sur. The Gothams from those two worlds are pitted against each other, with only one guaranteed survival.

    Q: As you're imagining a pregnant Lois Lane, what's she like at this point? Do you address what a super powered being might do to her as she carries him/her?!

    Jurgens: Lois is still working as a reporter, documenting their imprisonment in Gotham City, as well as helping Superman in his fight for justice.

    As for the way that carrying a super powered being might affect her, well... stay tuned.
