“ I get why mass would immediately imagine … that Clark Kent just goes away,”said Bendis an interview with theThe Washington Post . “Clark is a Brobdingnagian part of who [ Superman ] is . It ’s who he grew up as . He ’s not giving it up . He ’s sharing it with hoi polloi . ”

The Greco-Roman 90s television seriesLois and Clark : The New Adventures of Supermanspells it out clearly—“Superman is what I can do . Clark is who I am . ”Bendis is no amateur when it get along to breathing raw life into iconic characters , and he certainly is n’t going to discard Superman ’s liaison to humankind just to shock reader .
