That is why I say the line between PC SUPERMAN and MODERN SUPERMAN IS REALLY BLURY.
Superman is semi retcon, because all of his adventures with the JLA are retcon, but his adventures on his own tittle only a few have been retcon.
and About Supergirl. PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE, BECAUSE IS A BIG MESS 😱
Here is some info on Matrix Supergirl:
"Post-Infinite Crisis, the Matrix Supergirl has been seen in a scene showing the events from Zero Hour in 52 in the History of the DC Universe back-ups by Dan Jurgens. According to an interview with Newsarama, following the events of Infinite Crisis, Dan Didio stated that the Matrix Supergirl was wiped from existence However, Geoff Johns later stated, "As for this...huh? Linda Danvers hasn't been retconned out at all." The question of the cannonicity and fate of both Matrix and Linda Danvers was a subject of debate for several years until in 2008 when Linda Danvers was used in the Reign in Hell mini-series. However, the future of Matrix remains uncertain. Her origin may be in flux due to the events of Infinite Crisis and the multiversal instability hinted at in Booster Gold, but her existence has been confirmed at least."
