January 27, 2016: Dan Jurgens Talks "Superman: Lois and Clark" and "Rebirth"

Superman: Lois and Clark #4 With issue #4 of "Superman: Lois and Clark" out this week, writer Dan Jurgens talks with Newsarama.com about where things are at for our heroes, how the New 52 earth is different for them, and what it means for them now that this earth's Clark Kent has been outed as Superman. Here's part of the interview...

    What's this Superman's thinking regarding the villains he's encountering (or even hunting down) as he secretly fights crime in this world?

    Jurgens: Because of past experience on his own Earth, Superman feels he has insight as to who and what might be a threat here.

    However, there are enough differences that he isn't always going to be right about that, which is why Luthor is something of a dilemma for him.

    On top of that, since he's operating in secret, he has a problem of what to do with the bad guys once he's caught them. It's tough for him to simply turn them over to law enforcement, for obvious reasons.

    This forces Superman to be more self-reliant and self-sufficient than he ever was.

    We saw Jon pick up a newspaper that had "New 52" Clark Kent on the cover, exposed as Superman. Surely this event is a big deal for this version of Clark and Lois, who are still trying to hide from the world. How is your story (and how are the characters) affected by "New 52" Clark Kent's exposure as Superman?

    Jurgens: That's something you'll see more of in the book as it unfolds. We deal with it head on in Superman: Lois & Clark #6. For them, this is a very distressing development. It's even more unthinkable because that world's Lois is the one who outed Clark as Superman.

Dan Jurgens also mentioned that "Rebirth", the mysterious event set to shake up the entire line of books published by DC Comics, will impact on "Superman: Lois and Clark".
