History WesternAnimation / ReignOfTheSupermen

* GuardianEntity: The Eradicator's true nature is a HardLight hologram tasked with protecting and nourishing Superman with ion energy while his spaceship brings him back to life.

%%* WouldHurtAChild: When Superboy falls short of expectations as a hero, Luthor considers and nearly goes through with giving him a lethal injection and starting fresh. Given Superboy's nature as a clone, it also counts as WhatMeasureIsNonHuman.

* CompositeCharacter: ComicBook/{{Superboy}} seems to feature the wardrobe and personality of the ComicBook/PostCrisis Conner Kent, but his overall design is closer to that of the ComicBook/DCRebirth Jonathan Kent.
%%* FamilyEyeResemblance: Superboy looks exactly like a teenage version of Superman, ''except'' for the cold GrayEyes of his human DNA donor, Lex Luthor.
%%* GuardianEntity: The Eradicator's true nature is a HardLight hologram tasked with protecting and nourishing Superman with ion energy while his spaceship brings him back to life.
%%* MisplacedRetribution: Hank blames Superman for the death of his wife because he wasn't there to stop Doomsday from destroying their space station, when the one responsible is Doomsday's creator, Darkseid.

* TruerToTheText: Much like its predecessor, it's set to be a more faithful adaptation than the very first WesternAnimation/{{DC Universe Animated Original Movie|s}}, ''WesternAnimation/SupermanDoomsday'', despite the ''ComicBook/New52'' stylings, including the presence of ComicBook/{{Steel}}, ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, Cyborg-Superman, and the Eradicator, the former one being outright AdaptedOut and the latter three of whom were [[CompositeCharacter merged into a single character]] for ''Doomsday''.

* TheBusCameBack: After 7 years, ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} finally makes his return to Earth, undoubtedly thirsty for vengeance.

Superman is dead, [[WesternAnimation/TheDeathOfSuperman having fallen in battle defeating Doomsday]]. However, that's not the end of the story, as Superman's tomb is empty and four men -- [[ComicBook/{{Steel}} a man clad in]] PoweredArmor, [[ComicBook/{{Superboy}} a teenager]], a ruthless vigilante with a willingness to use lethal force, and a {{cyborg}} -- rise up, each one believed to be the resurrection of Superman. But who, if any of them, is the real Superman?

* MythologyGag: The Eradicator's design features elements of the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'' version of Superman, including all of his hair being slicked back and the design of the "S"-shield.
