The Man of Steel kicks off 2015 with a new suit and more.

DC Comics revealed Superman #38 will see an all-new look for Kal El.

The extra-sized issue by Geoff Johns, John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson will conclude the team’s first arc ending with a “new costume, new powers and new friends and enemies.”

Superman will be sent on “a new path” and “Clark Kent will be forced to make a shocking decision.”

The Return of Superman featured a radically different electric blue Superman. When the Man of Steel debuted in The New 52 his costume was altered to not have the red briefs over blue – similar to the Man of Steel movie.

We will see the new look in Superman #38 on February 5.

To recapture the first arc by Johns and Romita Jr click here: Superman Volume 6 of The New 52.

Will Damian Wayne rise again?

Batman and Robin writer Peter J. Tomasi tweeted this cover to issue 38 by artist Patrick Gleason.

(The cover is a SPOILER so we have it later down in the post in case you don’t want to see.)

Robin Rises is the story of the Dark Knight trying to recover and resurrect his son’s body.

Tomasi’s earlier tweets promise a “big reveal” in issue 37.

Damian’s body was taken by Glorious Godfrey. Bruce (in his Hellbat uniform) and allies (Dick Grayson, Batgirl, Red Hood) pursued into Apokolips and it looks like the Dark Knight will use dark magic and science of Darkseid’s realm to bring his child back to life.
