April 7, 2015: Dan Jurgens Makes Superman a Dad in "Convergence"

Convergence: Superman #1 Across April and May DC Comics is putting their normal publishing schedule on hold for the "Convergence" event, which will resurrect characters and stories from previous continuities. In "Convergence: Superman #1", out this Wednesday, Dan Jurgens tells a story about a powerless Man of Steel and his wife Lois Lane fighting the good fight in Gotham City. Here's an excerpt from an interview Jurgens did with USA Today...

    Illustrated by Lee Weeks, the Convergence crossover catches up with a pregnant Lois aiding and abetting a masked Clark Kent, who's tapping into his inner Batman in Gotham, one of the many cities under a dome on the living planet Telos that keeps superhumans' powers turned off.

    All these locales are being pitted against each other to survive, and when the dome comes down and Superman gets super again, he's faced with a neighboring Gotham from the alternate Flashpoint world where Bruce Wayne was killed as a little boy and it was his father, Thomas, who instead became Batman.

    Superman and the Dark Knight have had a long relationship, but it becomes inverted when it's Thomas and Clark instead of Bruce and Clark, Jurgens says. "What happens when all of that is tied around the idea of Lois having a baby when you have a Batman who's a vigilante because he lost his son."
