History ComicBook / Superman2011

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: In the ComicBook/{{New 52}}, Brainiac calls his bottled cities "Kan-Dor" and "Met-Trop-Ol-Is".
* AdaptationalHeroism: Lex is more morally nuanced in the New 52 era, but ends up genuinely becoming a hero by the events of ''Forever Evil'' where he discovers that GoodFeelsGood and ends up becoming a Justice League member after saving the world from the Crime Syndicate.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the New 52, Brainiac created Cyborg-Superman.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Averted, as in the New 52, Titano's only slightly larger than an average gorilla.
* BroadStrokes: The ''Flashpoint'' 2011 event rebooted the DC Universe, but some pre-New 52 stories are considered to have still happened. A few background pictures also seem to mention that ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'' also happened in some manner, but most likely not the way it did in the original universe.
* CompositeCharacter: In the ''New 52'' continuity, Brainiac is also apparently known as Computo, previously a separate individual created by Brainiac 5.
* CostumeEvolution: In the New 52, Superman's signature red briefs were scrapped, and his yellow belt became red and more detailed instead. The texture of the suit changed as well, being more like some sort of armor with seams all over it, and the general color scheme became a bit darker.
* CourtMage: The ''New 52'' version of Mister Mxyzptlk was this to a 5th-dimensional king and made a major enemy out of the previous mage he replaced.
* DeathBySecretIdentity: In the New 52 General Lane finds out Superman's secret identity as his daughter's husband, motivating a complete 180 on his belief that Superman is a threat waiting to happen. Soon after he dies during the Event Leviathan story arc.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: In the New 52 continuity, Martha died in a car crash caused by Mxypytlk's son, as part of his pre-emptive revenge on Superman, with Jonathan passing very soon after.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In the New 52, Lex plays this straight with the first Bizarro, whom he sees as a son and is devastated at his death, [[spoiler:and with his sister.]]
* GodCouple: Superman is in one with Wonder Woman in the ''New 52''.
* HatesBeingAlone: [[ComicBook/Supergirl2011 The New 52 Supergirl]] was a lonely, angry teenager. Her family and friends were dead, she could not bring herself to trust her cousin, she didn't manage to make friends or fit in with humans, and she was frequently attacked or betrayed by people she put her trust in. Her issues of alienation, grief and anger got worse until [[ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton she finally flew off the handle]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Lex is a member of the Justice League in the ''New 52'' after defeating the Crime Syndicate in ''Forever Evil''. Despite maintaining his somewhat snobby attitude, he seems to genuinely want to help Metropolis this time around [[spoiler:in honor of the New 52's Superman death.]] It doesn't last, though.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Lex includes a helmet with the Lexo-suit in the ''New 52'' comics.
* TheHeroDies: The New 52 Superman suffers a fatal case of Kryptonite poisoning and dies.
* IHaveManyNames: In the ComicBook/{{New 52}}, each civilization that adopted him assigned Brainiac a different name.
* InterspeciesRomance: Superman (Kryptonian) and ComicBook/WonderWoman (Amazon/demigod) as of the New 52.

* KarmaHoudini: In the New 52 General Zod's second major appearance as a member of the Superman Revenge Squad was a ploy to retrieve his family from the Phantom Zone. During this he believed he shot down Superman's family and also bails on his allies once he got what he wanted. Later he's conquered a primitive planet with two yellow suns, worshipped by natives as a god. When Hal and Kyle pick a fight with him on principle of his reputation, he's defended by the Guardians of Oa as being the aggrieved party, while justifying himself as merely wishing to rebuild his critically endangered culture with his family. In summary he colonized an entire planet but the implications of that are never examined and he ultimately comes out on top whenever confronted about it.
* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: In the New 52, Superman wears skintight Kryptonian armor that is as nigh-invulnerable as he is.
* OfficialCouple: Superman and ComicBook/WonderWoman for the New 52.
* PlanetDestroyer: In the New 52 era, Superman's more of an implicit example, never being shown to destroy anything larger than a moon but still being able to survive galaxy-level attacks from the Void Hound or massive supernovas and have the strength and ability to fight beings on this level like Nebula Man, Dominus, or Darkseid.
* PsychologicalProjection: In the New 52, Lex presumes Superman is the one obsessed and conspiring against him.
* PsychicPowers: Brainiac's ''New 52'' version takes this up a notch and can only really be defeated by a mental battle with Superman.
* RealityWarper: Brainiac's New 52 self (circa the Doomed arc) is an enormously powerful version of this, as his scientific advances are such that he's now seeking to remake the entire universe in his image.
* RetCanon: As of the ComicBook/{{New 52}}, Brainiac's much like the ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' version, which is also what most other adaptations' Brainiacs are based on. Apparently he still got started on Colu, but he ''also'' was the Kryptonian AI, and exists in many places under many names (including Earth, as [[spoiler: the Internet]]).
* StableTimeLoop: In the New 52, Mxyzptlk got a job as a CourtMage for an old king and married his daughter. He eventually grew up to be the king and gave his past self the job which is apparently normal in the 5th Dimension.
* TragicVillain: Brainiac's interpretation in the ''New 52''. According to ''ComicBook/SupermanDoomed'', his homeworld and family were destroyed in an invasion from another dimension and Brainiac has been kidnapping species from across the universe to harvest their PsychicPowers in order to recreate his lost home and see his family again.
* TraumaCongaLine: ''New 52'' Superman's life sucked. In the space of around two years of published stories he (among other things) got nearly killed by kryptonite poisoning, dunked in a Apokoliptian Fire Pit, had his identity revealed to the world and became a social pariah, lost his powers, and got more kryptonite poisoning which ultimately proved fatal and painfully killed him.
* UnderwearOfPower: Averted, as the New 52 Superman has traded the red trunks for a red belt.
* UndyingLoyalty: In the New 52 storyline, ''ComicBook/SupermanTruth'', ComicBook/JimmyOlsen stands by Superman's side after ComicBook/LoisLane blows his secret identity to the entire world (it probably helps that Supes revealed his identity to him just prior to the shit hitting the fan). Jimmy also shows that there's an entire neighborhood who is happy to have Superman around and renamed their area as "Kentville".
* WalkingWasteland: In the ''New 52'', Doomsday's mere presence causes everything around him to die. Attacking Krypton decades ago, he was exiled to the Phantom Zone, but inadvertently freed in the present day.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The ''New 52'' has tried to recreate Brainiac as one of these, out to save the universe from destruction by invaders from the 5th dimension. Whether this will stick, no one knows.
