DC Comics announced yesterday that rather than traveling the galaxy defending the universe from dark forces, Superman may soon arrive in your hometown in a very pedestrian way.
As part of the Grounded story line that
kicks off in July with issue No. 700 of DC Comics' Superman
series, the Man of Steel will walk across the USA to reconnect with the
everyday people he is committed to protecting.
The story may be fictional, but many of the
places and people that Superman will visit are real. DC Comics is asking
readers to write in and campaign for their towns and residents to be
depicted in the 13-issue Superman series.
Great idea because no one wants to see Superman taking on Darkseid, Lex Luthor, Mongul, Brainiac, Intergang, etc.
Why do you continue to F*%ck the DC Universe up Dan Didio? Why?

I can see why politicians would and probably should do something like this, but superheroes? In real life, if someone where in Superman's position, connecting to "ordinary people" would be a good idea...but done for more than one or two issues, will make for boring storytelling.
