It is, but at the same time you can already see the difference between Action Superman and JL Superman. It's subtle, but it's there. I have every confidence that Morrison will handle his development properly, as Johns will be largely skipping over it.
Action Comic is rough, where as JL is subtle, but still a bad ass, where as in Superman is attitude was meh.
It was even worse the way Perez handled the final scene with Clark, Lois and Jonathan.
He made me facepalm, Clark is not suppose to be gaga over Lois, yet Perez is handling him just like Post Crisis Superman.

Perez is handling an older, more jaded Clark though, so maybe he's just trying to find his feet. He won't be on the book much longer anyway. The Kents are dead, he doesn't have Lois, and Lana and Pete are nowhere to be seen. He basically has Jimmy as his only friend in the world, and I challenge anyone to be happy with that.
Though Morrison did say we will be seeing Superman in relationships with women. Not with Lois, though I don't know who else he might use outside of new characters.

I hope they don't change him. This version of Superman isn't messing around.
It's a continuous growth, and Morrison has already stated that this Superman will be a more action-oriented one.

Nobody knows. For all we know, it might happen.

Supposedly that's the rumor.
And since JL takes place 5yrs before all the other titles, so the rumors are there relationship will be flesh out in JL rather in there separate books.

I can understand him being unhappy, i just hated the ending to Superman.
Isn't JL Superman older than the other titles, minus him in JL Dark.

Same here.
JL is in the middle. He's supposedly several months older than the Action Comics version, but he's 5 years younger than the one in Perez's book, which is the current day one.

They also had something in Pre-Crisis too.
There's always been something between them, be it in Superman books or Wonder Woman's. At the very least, it was a mutual respect and a friendship that was just a little too comfy; at most, it was her propositioning him or the very physical sparring they got up to.

I remember this corny scene in the Pre-Crisis era, Diana and Clark kissed and then Diana ask him why they don't do it more often, and Clark responded by saying too predictable. Shit was funny.The best comic in my opinion that had the best Diana/Clark relationship, was Kingdom Come.
That wasn't a bad one, I agree.
I know Morrison isn't a huge fan of the idea, but I think with the right writers and the right angle, it could work.

I swear i read somewhere Morrison like the Diana/Clark thing. Morrison was actually one of the few writers, even before this reboot that wanted to break off the Clark/Lois marriage.

Maybe I just remember him saying that he thought Batman was a better match for her. He might be up for it, I dunno.
And it wouldn't be the first major marriage he'd split lol
