History ComicBook / SupermanTruth

* HeroWithBadPublicity: Superman might as well give Franchise/SpiderMan a run for his money here.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Perry White, normally a BenevolentBoss and ReasonableAuthorityFigure, who is usually characterized as having great admiration for both Superman and Clark Kent, and even implied to be a SecretSecretKeeper because he just respects Clark/Superman that much, behaves more like [[Franchise/SpiderMan J.Jonah Jameson]] when Clark's identity is outed. To be fair to Perry, this is right after he was injured when the Planet staff were taken hostage to draw out Clark.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Franchise/WonderWoman implies she will be this for Clark, as her inner monologue states that "no harm will fall him while she watches over him" while he sleeps. Sure enough, when the Suicide Squad open fire on Clark, she lets them have it. However, the trope seems to be Deconstructed as Wonder Woman goes behind Superman's back and uses her lasso to find out everything about everyone and it pisses Superman off even more.

The effects of ''Truth'' were reversed in ''ComicBook/SupermanRebirth'' and ''ComicBook/SupermanReborn''. A SpiritualAntithesis storyline [[NamesTheSame of the same name]] was later done in ''ComicBook/SupermanBrianMichaelBendis'', this time with Superman himself revealing his identity to the world under his own volition, rather than someone else revealing it in circumstances beyond Superman's control.

* BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: [[spoiler:When confronted with the SadisticChoice of allowing HODOR's specialized robots to absorb Superman's power via Super Flare or exposing his identity to the world, Superman did the former. However, Lois, absolutely refusing to let Superman be harmed, revealed his identity to the world as she felt exposing his identity to the world would be better than allowing HODOR to have a stranglehold on him.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Ada “Condesa” Amoragujeta, a woman in the run from the government, sports blue dreadlocks.

* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: The look on Lois' face when Sam Lane congratulates her for exposing Superman's identity.

* WhatAnIdiot: InUniverse, the ''other'' Lois in ''ComicBook/SupermanLoisAndClark'' gives her counterpart one, making it the rare "Second Person What An Idiot".

* StrangeBedfellows: Oddly, despite everything going on, ''ComicBook/LexLuthor'' is willing to give Superman a hand, even though he thinks this is just Clark Kent trying to parade around as Superman with the real Superman missing.

* WhatAnIdiot: InUniverse, the ''other'' Lois in ''ComicBook/SupermanLoisAndClark'' gives her counterpart one, making it the rear "Second Person What An Idiot".

''Superman: Truth'' is a ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' [[BatfamilyCrossover family crossover]] story arc taking place after ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'', as part of ''ComicBook/DCYou''. It is told in the ''ComicBook/ActionComics'', ''Batman[=/=]Superman'', ''Superman[=/=]Wonder Woman'' and ''Superman'' titles. The writers in charge are Greg Pak, Peter J Tomasi and Gene Luen Yang.

* UngratefulBastard[=/=]WhatTheHellTownspeople: Superman has saved the world countless times, and when his secret identity is revealed, how does the world thank him? The police has ordered his arrest, the banks have cancelled his credit cards and several lawyers are suing for property damage. Even [[DaEditor Perry White]] fired him from the ''Daily Planet''.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: President BarackObama. He expresses sympathy for Superman and agrees to release his friends.

* BroughtDownToBadass: An as-of-yet unrevealed event (currently believed to be Superman's latest "power", the [[ActionBomb Super Flare]], as well as getting nearly killed in ''Batman/Superman Annual'' #2) caused Superman to lose a good portion of his powers. He can no longer fly and instead uses a bike for transport. That said, this is ''[[{{Badass}} Superman]]'' we're talking about. Powers or not, he is never to be underestimated.

''Truth'' is set to conclude in ''ComicBook/SupermanSavageDawn''.

** ComicBook/SupermanSavageDawn is in fact a direct continuation of this storyline [[spoiler:and reveals that [[BigBad Vandal Savage]] [[TheManBehindTheMan was behind everything]], even including the loss of Clark's powers. That storyline concludes with Clark being repowered, almost just in time for Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice.]]
