Scott Snyder unleashed the Court of Owls then the Joker at Batman since The New 52 relaunch. Snyder is teaming up with Jim Lee to launch Superman Unchained. 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:

“I really like stories where characters are challenged by their worst fears. Superman is facing someone new and it’s going to shake him. It’s not horror, and there’s humor between the characters, but it’s definitely about dealing with something that frightens him.

DC Comics is teasing the return of the Cyborg Superman with this stunning portrait by current Superman artist Kenneth Rocafort and the coy words of Editor Bob Harras:

“Some of you might remember the last time a Cyborg Superman showed up. Would we dare revisit such a classic storyline? Hmmm. Well, never say never, right? As I’ve been telling you, all bets are off. Everything’s on the table.

Sorry to make your head explode on a Friday, but enjoy Kenneth Rocafort’s lovely sketch in the meantime. We’ll be in the conference room discussing … oh, never mind.”

Hank Henshaw was an astronaut damaged by radiation on a mission and downloaded into a cyborg body – all were projects and products of Lexcorp!
