Slott is new to DC, but not to superhero comics \u2014 between the three of them, their years of experience in writing superheroes adds up to about as long as Superman has <em>existed<\/em>. And yet, when asked what it means to be a caretaker of Superman right now, the whole group paused for several seconds. Then Waid answered: \u201cDon\u2019t screw up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cDon\u2019t screw up,\u201d Slott agreed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cYeah!\u201d Williamson exclaimed. \u201cIt\u2019s intimidating! I\u2019m glad you guys said that, because I don\u2019t want to bullshit anybody. Definitely, it\u2019s intimidating.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">All three writers are carving out their own Superman silos this summer, in three series either launching or starting new arcs in April, May, and June.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Williamson \u2014 one of the architects of DC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/24200459\/dc-comics-reboot-all-in-absolute-universe-scott-snyder\">All In initiative<\/a>, encompassing new creative teams, new directions for books, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/504039\/absolute-batman-superman-wonder-woman-review\">highly<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/462801\/batman-absolute-joker-reboot-scott-snyder-interview\">successful<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/530453\/absolute-wonder-woman-lasso-of-transformation\">Absolute<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/dc\/549992\/absolute-martian-manhunter-1-final-page-combined\">Universe<\/a> \u2014 is first out of the gate with a new story arc that starts in the double-length <em>Superman<\/em> #25, drawn by Dan Mora and hitting shelves on April 23. And he said that Superman remains at the heart of DC Comics\u2019 biggest plans for 2025 and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cEverything in the DCU really centers around Superman,\u201d he said, referring especially to All In. While the Absolute Universe, created by Darkseid for nebulous and nefarious reasons, is one half of All In\u2019s overarching narrative throughline, he says Superman stands at the core of All In\u2019s story in the main timeline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cThat&#8217;s a major piece of what we&#8217;re doing with All In,\u201d Williamson said, \u201cand you&#8217;re going to see that over the course of the next year. I&#8217;m glad we called it <em>Summer of Superman<\/em>, but it isn\u2019t just going to be a summer of Superman, it&#8217;s going to be much more. [\u2026] In terms of the actual publishing footprint, you&#8217;re going to see a lot of Superman stuff over the next year and plus; there&#8217;s a lot of really cool stuff that&#8217;s coming. Obviously, with Dan&#8217;s book that&#8217;s hitting right now, the movie&#8217;s coming out \u2014 Superman is very, very crucial to DC right now.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-do-you-get-superman-right-in-2025-dont-screw-up-say-dcs-3-big-superman-writers-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Waid will take the writer\u2019s reins on <em>Action Comics<\/em> starting with #1087, when he and artist Skylar Patridge will turn the book toward stories of Superman\u2019s childhood in Smallville and his adventures as Superboy. The writer said he was looking forward to showcasing one citizen of the small Kansas town in particular.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cThere&#8217;s a real joy to taking underserved characters, a lot of times \u2014 showing your take on them and explaining to people why you like them. [\u2026] Ma Kent actually plays a huge part [in <em>Action Comics<\/em>] not because anything&#8217;s wrong with Pa \u2014 Pa&#8217;s great, and Pa will be there. But I think Superman stories tend to be about fathers and sons a lot, and I think that we haven&#8217;t really done a huge deep dive in a long time on how much of an influence Martha, specifically, was on Clark growing up. And that&#8217;s a lot of fun to play with.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Slott\u2019s new title, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dc.com\/blog\/2025\/01\/15\/superman-unlimited-dan-slott-and-rafael-albuquerque-launch-a-new-ongoing-series-for-the-man-of-steel\"><em>Superman Unlimited<\/em><\/a>, kicks off on May 21 and will focus on present Metropolis and the Daily Planet while featuring a new and nuanced threat. An asteroid has made kryptonite abundant and plentiful on Earth (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/2020\/4\/20\/21227898\/superman-high-420-kryptonite-batman-dc-comics\">again<\/a>), and beneficial uses of the mineral have been discovered, dissuading Superman from finding some way to destroy it all. Superman will \u201cstill be able to lift an ocean liner over his head and fly it to the moon, but now his Achilles\u2019 heel will be a little more exposed,\u201d Slott said. But his intentions were far from a gritty or grounded take on Superman. He says he hoped to have the same shocking, outlandish hooks as he remembered on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/2020\/5\/11\/21254461\/superman-dc-comics-weird-silver-age-back-to-the-future\">Silver Age Superman covers<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">A longtime Marvel Comics writer best known for his wide-ranging run on <em>Amazing Spider-Man<\/em>, Slott said that after getting <em>Unlimited<\/em>, he went on the hunt for a Superman action figure for his desk. But he ran into a problem: In \u201call the action figures, he was scowling and angry and mean, and that wasn&#8217;t my Superman. It took me forever to find one where Superman was smiling.\u201d He had a similar note for his <em>Superman Unlimited<\/em> collaborator, Rafael Albuquerque.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-do-you-get-superman-right-in-2025-dont-screw-up-say-dcs-3-big-superman-writers-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Slott described the cover of <em>Superman Unlimited<\/em> #2, featuring a battered, bloody Man of Steel raising his fists to defend against off-panel attackers armed with kryptonite knives and brass knuckles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cMy note to Rafa when he turned in the first sketch was, &#8216;He should still be smiling.&#8217; He should be like, <em>All right, show me what you got. I&#8217;m down, I&#8217;m hit, I&#8217;m hurt, but I&#8217;m still Superman.<\/em> [\u2026] The minute we hit that one smile, everything&#8217;s been a cakewalk, because Superman has a whole wide range of feelings, but if you can get that smile\u2026 When you think of Christopher Reeve or George Reeves or all these classic Superman moments, Superman makes you feel good when he&#8217;s around, Superman&#8217;s looking out for you.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">All long-running comic book characters come with some tonal variance: Is this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23569816\/batman-best-punch\">stoic detective Batman<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2019\/3\/13\/18263820\/batman-who-laughs-grim-knight-dc-comics\">grim vigilante Batman<\/a>? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2020\/4\/13\/21218971\/spider-man-dinosaur-cancer-meme-panel-marvel-comics-sauron-pterodactyl\">Quipping trickster Spider-Man<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/2019\/9\/18\/20870550\/j-j-abrams-spider-man-1-mary-jane-ben-parker-spoilers\">dramatic soap opera hero Spider-Man<\/a>? For creators, picking one of those tones inevitably earns pushback from the section of the audience that prefers another. This is especially true for characters whose cultural footprint exceeds the reach of their actual media \u2014 like Superman.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The phenomenon has been particularly apparent in the last year, in the response to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/trailer\/552878\/superman-movie-sneak-peek-krypto\">clips<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/24150323\/superman-costume-james-gunn-david-corenswet-underwear\">photos<\/a> from James Gunn\u2019s <em>Superman<\/em>. It seems like each new look at the movie summons a wave of hot takes about how a picture of Superman putting his boots on is insufficiently masculine, or that showing him responding to pain with less than unflappable stoicism is insufficiently heroic. Bad-faith comments or not, there are plenty of folks out there who are perfectly fine, if not fully positive, on a scowling Superman action figure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But though Waid, Slott, and Williamson might worry about screwing it up, or find all that attention intimidating, they\u2019re forging ahead with their own visions of Superman, in the character\u2019s home: comic books. Being one of Superman\u2019s caretakers can be intimidating, but to Williamson, it\u2019s more important now than ever. \u201cSuperman is really easy to get wrong and really easy to get right. I would rather take the \u2018Get it right\u2019 path, especially in this moment where I think there are a lot of eyes on Superman. But we need Superman. [&#8230;] You just don&#8217;t want to screw it up.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Summer of Superman Special<em> hits shelves on April 16, with art from Jorge Jim\u00e9nez.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/comics\/559501\/superman-summer-special-dc-comics-waid-williamson-slott\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Polygon had a chance to sit down to a roundtable interview with comics luminaries Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, Daredevil), Joshua Williamson (The Flash, Batman &amp; Robin), and Dan Slott (She-Hulk, Superior Spider-Man).
