This new era officially began with ''ComicBook/ManOfSteel2018'', a "pilot episode" that pits Superman against the new villain Rogol Zaar. With ''Man of Steel'' over, the story continues in the relaunched ''Superman'' and ''Action Comics'' and sees Superman explore his place in the world and is forced to confront the possibility that he might not be doing enough to help humanity.

----
!!Brian Michael Bendis' ''Superman'' provides examples of following tropes:
* ArcWelding: Bendis has confirmed ''Superman'' and ''Action Comics'' will feature interconnnected storylines.
* HomeBase: The Fortress of Solitude, as usual. With the old one being destroyed by Rogol in ''Man of Steel'', Superman constructs a new one in the Bermuda Triangle.
* KeepTheHomeFiresBurning: RareMaleExample with Clark, [[spoiler:who struggles between his faith for Lois and Jon as they travel with Jor-El and his fear that something could happen to them.]]
* VillainsActHeroesReact: Both the ''Man of Steel'' miniseries and ''Superman'' #1 explore this notion.
