** Who bought the Daily Planet?

I misread the actual "3.2 million" (a much more reasonable figure) for "32 million."


* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: Bendis pegs the population of Metropolis as 32 million. New York City (the city Metropolis is most based on) has, depending on how you count, anywhere between 8 and 10 million. According to TheOtherWiki, this places it 25th most populated, with the most populous city, Shanghai in China, at only 24 million. Metropolis would be THE largest city by far on DC's earth at 32 million.

''Man of Steel'' is a 2018 ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' six issue mini-series released by Creator/DCComics.

For seventeen years, Creator/BrianMichaelBendis was a driving force behind Creator/MarvelComics: creating (accidentally) the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Universe, reinventing ComicBook/TheAvengers by [[ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled disassembling them]] and reassembling them as the ComicBook/NewAvengers and created highly popular characters such as ComicBook/JessicaJones and ComicBook/MilesMorales. Now, he has left the "House of Ideas" and is putting down his stakes in DC Comics and its ''wunderkund'', Superman.

''Man of Steel'' takes a look back at Superman's past, revisiting the destruction of Krypton and Superman's rise as a super hero as he confronts an mysterious villain who may or may not have major ties to Krypton's destruction.

Following this series, Bendis will take over the ''Superman'' titles with a brand new ''Superman'' #1 and continuing with ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #1001

!!''Man of Steel'' features examples of these tropes:
* BigBad: While he doesn't have a name yet, the main threat is a mysterious monstrous being with very sharp fangs.
* RevisitingTheRoots: The series seeks to take a look back at both Krypton's destruction and Superman's past up to that point.
