Does "Byrne Superman" Exist Anymore?

Reading over some topics here, it seems his origin for Supes is gone and we're shown Clark had his powers as Superboy and met the LOSH in the future. Plus there's mentions of PC JLA stories.

So...do any of the comics early post-COIE fit into continuity?

Aw, come on people. I really am curious about this.

It's still rather unclear

I thought it was explained by how he absorbed enough solar energy to be able to do all his super duper feats and shit...Or sumthin like that.

The Byrne reboot itself was retconned even before IC BUT, there are still events from the Byrne run that are still in continuity.

Dude, I will tell you this.

One thing I have learned from comics.........DON"T GET ATTACHED TO ANYTHING!

They know there is such a high turnover in comics they will flip anything due to trends or their personal tastes

Byne's run on the numbered title still exists, sort of. However his rebooted origin from the Man of Steel miniseries...is non existant in continuity.

In the DC Universe, you can 'punch reality' and everything starts over. 🙄
Byrne's Superman could exist on Earth-44, for all we know.

Nah, because it's the same guy. I believe Infinite Crisis, undid the knot the in the timestream in 1985. Undoing all the character makeovers, though not the stories that followed.

Though I won't disregard the possibility.

Kurt Busiek says another origin story is coming. 😐

Probably because they have been borrowing the look of the Superman movies the past two years.
