DC Comics just brought back a controversial piece of Superman lore, which once more raises the question of whether Watchmen is canon in the DC Universe. Further, astute fans have suggested that the return of “The Supermen Project” could reflect things fans are about to see on-screen in James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman film.
New History of the DC Universe #1, written by Mark Waid, with art by Todd Nauck and Jerry Ordway, is an ambitious undertaking, which seeks to streamline and redefine, as its title suggests, DC’s fictional history.
Among the most profoundly important details included in the issue? The reintegration of “The Supermen Project,” from 2017’s Doomsday Clock, into continuity.
