Dan Jurgens speaks a bit more on the Lois and Clark book (found this on the CBR forums, no idea where the source link is)
"In the upcoming Superman: Lois & Clark series, the married Clark Kent and Lois Lane from the pre-New 52 continuity are back. They are now trapped and in hiding in this new Earth, trying to raise their 9-year-old son Jon as if they are a normal family. "For Lois and Clark, it’s a world that they barely recognize...a place where they have to hide their true identities,“ says series writer Dan Jurgens, a veteran Superman writer who fans will remember from the classic “Death of Superman” story of the 1990s. "On the other hand, their son, Jon, embraces this world as his own. It’s the only one he’s ever known. In a way, it’s a bit of a classic immigrant story where the parents—unlike their kids—are a bit out of place.""
I hope there is a good reason that Clark has never helped out like during Forever Evil, or when Darkseid attacked, or when he fought the Anti-Moniter in seattle.
I don't think they are on Earth-0, I think they might be on a completely different Earth.
They confirmed a while back it was New 52 Earth
Can you point me where?

I'm definitely looking forward to reading Lois and Clark. That's "my" Superman, and with Jurgens and Weeks, it should be a quality book.
I'm just gonna come right out and ask; why exactly do Cheetah and Black Manta hate Wonder Woman and Aquaman?
I mean, to a degree, i can understand why Luthor and Joker are Superman and Batman's arch-foes and, Sinestro's hatred of the GL Corp is no secret either. But, what are the stories behind Wonder Woman's animosity with Cheetah and Aquaman's issues with Black Manta (especially since it would make more sense for Orm to be his arch-foe when you think about it (come to think of it, R's Al Ghul and Brainiac seem like better archenemies for Supes and Bats when you think about that too)).
This is a bit complicated. I think it best to leave their wikipedia pages for you to read.

To be honest, i hate when people try to do that. Please, just summarize the reasons as best you can, but please don't try and throw a link at me and expect that to be enough.
Depending on the continuity black manta killed arthurs son and arthur accidently killed mantas dad
" I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." "In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends."Sorry about that. Okay I'll try.
With Cheetah, the most reoccuring theme is jealousy over Diana (the pre-crisis version was a socialite who competed with Diana, the post crisis version was cursed as an avatar of a plant god).
Black Manta was kidnapped by pirates as a child and tried to signal Aquaman for help but the hero didn't see him. Manta then swore to conquer the emotionless sea and formed an enimity with Aquaman.
Oh my god the pointless scott lobdell comic got canned i am so shocked....
Shame about omega men tho

" I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." "In the end? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends."Gotham by Midnight was awesome and I blame you all for not reading it.
What was Doomed even about? What was the main character's name?
According to this cover, it was about some dude who could transform into some weird monster who kinda, sorta looks like Doomsday and also is he a hero? or is a villain?

Doomed was what if Spider-man was the hulk. Like the kid gets infected by doomsday spores and he turns into doomsday whenever he is excited. it wasnt too bad though. better than edgy space terrorists.
@srebak
Something to keep in mind with superhero/supervillain archenmities is that they aren't always planned. Villains will come back based on popularity, not necessarily how appropriate they are as the hero's archenemy, and the relationship will develop from there. That's how Luthor and the Joker ended up as Superman and Batman's worst enemies (despite the writers originally slating the Ultra-Humanite and Hugo Strange respectively for those roles).
It's the same for Wonder Woman/Cheetah and Aquaman/Black Manta, though in those cases, their original intended archnemesis (Ares and Ocean Master) are still around and prominent. In Cheetah's case the fact that she's not as powerful as Ares keeps her around (since Ares can't make too many appearances without hurting his threat value) while in Black Manta's case it was his murder of Aquaman's son that threw him into prominence and let him eclipse Ocean Master.
Not really sure this belongs here.But I was curious about you guy's thoughts on this.

Thats wrong because 1. Wonder woman '77 exists And 2. It had a story where they used manspalaining unironically.
...okay, I'm guessing you're just a troll now.
They've just not had time to verify or debunk it yet. It was originally posted this Tuesday.
