September 17, 2015: Dan Jurgens Gives Further Details "Superman: Lois & Clark"

Superman: Lois & Clark #3 "Superman: Lois & Clark" is a new comic book series written by Dan Jurgens in which it is revealed that the pre-New 52 versions of Lois Lane and Clark Kent are living in hiding in the current continuity of the DC Universe.

During "Convergence", we saw that this version of Lois and Clark are married and celebrated the birth of their son, Jon. When we meet them in issue #1 of "Superman: Lois & Clark" Jon is now 9 years old, and the fact that the other version of Superman has had his secret identity revealed to the world is a major development to them.

ComicBookResources.com spoke with Dan Jurgens to find out more about this new comic book series...

    What can you tell us about Jonathan Samuel Kent? It seems like he's aged a bit since we last saw him in "Convergence: Superman."

    He's about 9-years-old. He has no idea of his parents' past lives, as they do everything possible to give him an incredibly normal upbringing. In terms of looks, he resembles Clark. In terms of character, he has more of young Lois' spitfire attitude. He's less responsive to authority that young Clark was. More curious.

    While many fans loved the relationship between Superman and Wonder Woman in the New 52 - there are countless fans who feel Clark's one true love is Lois. What did you think about the Superman and Wonder Woman relationship in the New 52? And how did that relationship differ from the one between Lois and Clark that readers have known for 75 years?

    I always saw that version of Superman and Wonder Woman as very different characters than the ones I had worked on - especially Superman. I understood why people liked it and why people didn't. It's a major step and when that happens there can be lots of room for different feelings and reactions.

    The solicitation for "Superman: Lois and Clark" #1 asks the question: "Can this Superman stop the villains he once fought before they are created on this world?" Can you give us any more info on which villains we might see in the series?

    That'd be cheating! [Laughs] But think of it this way. On his Earth, Superman fought a villain named Dynamiter X who was really an ex-con named Joe Smith. Wouldn't it be prudent for Superman, now on a new world, to check out that version of Joe Smith to see if he's also on the way to becoming Dynamiter X?
