* AuthorsSavingThrow: One of the biggest problems with Superman in the ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' era was the divisiveness of the character as there were fans who were upset that the ''New 52'' counterpart never got his fair shake due to his poor handling leading to fans dismissing him in favor of the pre-''Flashpoint'' Superman. This expanded to many stories trying to paint the pre-''Flashpoint'' Supes as the "superior" one. This story seems to suggest that this was unfair to make people think that because [[spoiler:they were one and the same, just separated.]]

Broken Base is about sustained splits within the fandom, long after the work has been released, not about knee-jerk reactions.


* BrokenBase: [[spoiler:The fusing of the ''New 52'' and pre-''Flashpoint'' Supermen]] has been a little polarizing.
** There are a few who still think that [[spoiler:the pre-''Flashpoint'' Superman is the base and he's just gotten youthful, which again minimalizes his ''New 52'' counterpart]]. This interpretation is actually kind of accurate, given that Superdad is [[spoiler:the Blue Superman]], who ''was'' the "real" Superman between Superman Red and Superman Blue, and it's very clear that [[spoiler: Superdad's life and memories]] are more prominent than [[spoiler: [=NuSupes=]']].
** There are those who love the change and embrace it wholeheartedly and there are those who love the change and just wish it wasn't so clean cut.
** And there are those who wish the merger hadn't happened and were perfectly fine with Superman's Rebirth status prior to ''Reborn.''

* HeartwarmingMoment: [[spoiler: History merges the classic Superman tale with New 52, including the birth of Jon, as Perry White and Jimmy Olson are there to coo over baby Jon. On a meta-level, a lot of what happened with New 52 Superman still happened, just with re-merged Superman.]]

** In the ''Aftermath'', Clark back at the Planet. Little details, such as a pinned Post-It note reminding him he has bowling with Jimmy and Steve Lombard, which in itself is a small heartwarming moment since Lombard is the JerkJock of the office, showing he and Clark really do like each other.

* NightmareFuel: [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mxyreborn.jpg Mxyzptlk's design]] in Superman #19, which abandons his usually flat and lanky look for something more akin to a Kewpie Doll, squat and bloated with an unnerving The Grinch-like grin and always sticking his tongue out for some reason.

* FanNickname: One of the more endearing nicknames for the ''New 52'' Superman was "Superbro", more or less because he was a bit more youthful and relatable. After the events of ''Reborn'', the name has been amended to be [[spoiler:"[=SuperDadBro=]" or just plain old "Superdad"]]
