Superman: Secret Origin

Ok... We know that Geoff Johns is writing his own, definitive Superman origin this year. Now, i'm curious as to what parts people would like to keep, and what parts people would like done away with or changed...

could be worse. he could be writing kyle's origin...

his origin is fine as is

Which origin is that?

A new power source, one that is potentially limitless; Zero point field, Tachyons, God Wave, hatred of Jade Goddie etc.

I suppose one could even go with humans being descended from a long-ago/long-forgotten Kryptonian expedition to Earth, but then you'd have to explain why 1) humans aren't suped-up from the yellow sun; and 2) if Kryptonians had starflight way back then, why they didn't escape their planet's fate.

Overall, I'd like to see origin and powers more solidly based in science (again, not unlike hard scifi).

Same here for me.

Anyone read the first issue? I thought it was pretty good, and it looks like the series is going to set a few things straight...

did it change anything?

it further confirmed that Clark was

Spoiler:
Superboy before becoming Superman. Plus, the Legion are supposed to be in the next issue.

What I'm wondering is if it effectively retcons his claim that he only really went all-out 3 times in his life: Once as a kid when he punched some other kid before he had his powers, next in his final punch against Doomsday in DOS, and third against Imperiex in OWAW

true, but he's already shown fear as regards to using them. i wouldnt be surprised if hurting pete was what actually drove him to start controlling himself better...

Finally got Part 1 and have started reading it i'm liking it so far.

I liked the explanation that Johns gave to why Clark wears the glasses.

A new origin. Maybe he's Krypton's own Jesus Christ. Born of an immaculate conception to exist for a pupose: To defend human freedom against Cobra: a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world..

hehe

How come Batman doesn't have to go through this? He just gets additions to his origin; Superman gets radical changes.
After Superman Returns in 2006, they started giving the Fortress Of Solitude that crystal look from the films, complete with the Jor-El recordings for his questions. Are they going to keep that? And what about costume adjustments?
