Scott Snyder going back to Zero Year with Batman and launching the Man of Steel inot the future this week. Snyder and Jim Lee launching Superman Unchained this week.

Given Snyder’s track record with Batman and Swamp Thing how darker will this Superman book be? He’s what Snyder told Comic Book Resources:
