A Letter from the Editors: Summer of Superman Community Appreciation Project

May 26th, 2025

As part of the Daily Planet's Summer of Superman event celebrating our Man of Steel's 20th anniversary of donning the cape (for more information see this post), we will be arranging an appreciation project. The Daily Planet will be collecting statements from the public that answer the question "What does Superman mean to you?" and compiling the responses in an article published to our website.

This article will be posted on July 11th, 2025 at approximately 4AM UTC, 20 years from the day the name "Superman" was finally coined by reporter Lois Lane in her groundbreaking first-ever interview with the Man of Steel. That was the day we first began to learn about the man who has dedicated so much of his life to protecting us, and therefore must be the day we show our immense gratitude him.

If you would like for your answer to "What does Superman mean to you?" to be included in the article, then please answer the form attached below the break. All respondees will be notified when the article is published if they choose to provide contact information.

The form will be closing at 12:00 AM UTC on June 31st, 2025 to give the editors enough time to organize the responses and prepare the article.

Okay, now out of character! Hello everyone! If you're reading this, then PLEASE do participate! We would REALLY love to get as many responses as possible, and Kit and I (I'm Neb writing this btw) would like to see as many answers as possible! We're very excited about this project and, to lead up to it, will be trying to do more actual Summer of Superman themed posts rather than just our normal update posts, especially now that it's really getting into summertime.

So yeah, if you can, then please do fill out this form! We would really appreciate it! And while you're here, consider following us! We post in-universe articles from the perspective of the Daily Planet every week, mainly as public newspaper updates on the comic releases for that week. But we also sometimes do normal fluff articles, historical information articles looking back on major events in comic history, and are currently trying to do this SOS event.

Anyway, slight promo aside, yeah we really wanna try and do this article. It's a really fun idea and we'd love to put it together and format it just like an actual community response/quote article from a real newspaper might be, under the premise that the Daily Planet is trying to present this to Superman to show how loved he is.

With that in mind, please do remember that this is an in-universe blog, so when you're answering the form please do bear your heart to us and be completely honest, but we may edit the responses slightly (as in like as LITTLE as possible we swear) to make sure things don't break the 4th wall TOO obviously. So like, if you explicitly say "comic superhero", we'll only remove the word comic from your statement.

Thank you for reading, and please do help spread this (reblog, make your own posts, send to friends, ping people, etc). As we mentioned, we'd like this to be as big as possible! And if you have ANY questions, feel free to send us an ask and we'll get back to you ASAP!

Finally, as promised, here is the form:

Nightwing Reveals US Government Keeps Bodies of Chemo Victims From Families

May 26th, 2025

Written By: Piera Landen

Six years ago, on December 7th, 2019, the city of Bludhaven was nuked. 100,068 people died in the initial blast and resulting fires. Thousands more died in the wake of the attack from radiation poisoning, displacement, starvation, and disease. It was the worst tragedy to happen in the history of the United States.

The Justice League and the United States Government never gave a clear answer as to why the city was destroyed. They claimed it was “an act of immense cruelty and devastation perpetrated by a supervillain with a grudge,” but refused to clarify further, claiming it would bring dangerous attention to some of their operatives.

This attack was so devastating that heroes such as Superman, with a natural immunity to dangerous amounts of radiation, were called in to investigate the ruins and search for people’s bodies. Not to search for survivors, but for corpses. Anyone left in the inner city by the time they arrived on the scene would have already perished. They were able to rescue the few people on the edges of the initial blast zone who survived, but there were only a handful of these. 

The only reason we have a true explanation of the reason for the sheer destruction was because the elusive Nightwing, in one of the few confirmed appearances of the hero and one of the only moments undeniably proving his existence, stepped forward two days after the attack and took the blame. He explained that the bombing had been perpetrated by a villain named Deathstroke, who had been obsessed with him for most of his career, and decided to take revenge on Nightwing. Deathstroke then dropped another supervillain, named Chemo for perhaps obvious reasons, on the heart of Nightwing’s city. The hero refused to explain the exact reason this ‘Deathstroke’ wanted revenge badly enough to destroy an entire city, but restated multiple times that it was “an extreme over-escalation,” and that he had never expected the villain to take their battles so far. Nightwing assumed full responsibility for the attack and vowed to dedicate himself to hunting down and bringing Deathstroke to justice, a promise that was never reported on further.

Despite the best efforts of the heroes who came to help, Bludhaven was eventually placed under quarantine by President Jonathan Horne. A massive wall was constructed around the infected areas, isolating them and preventing everyone from entering. The government-sanctioned super-team named Freedom’s Ring took control of the inner city, ordering all remaining metahumans to leave the city limits. This Freedom’s Ring committed despicable crimes against the people remaining within “the Wall,” including internment camps, human experimentation, and executions of anyone deemed “an insurgent.”

In the wake of the attack, many citizens moved away from Bludhaven and restarted their lives elsewhere. But many more remained in the city, living on the edges of the infected territory, beyond “the Wall”, until the radiation dissipated enough for them to begin rebuilding.

After the discovery of these actions by the Teen Titans, who snuck back into Bludhaven, the sole surviving member of Freedom’s Ring, Major Victory, was prosecuted and charged with crimes against humanity. He is now imprisoned in Belle Reve Penitentiary. But before the wall could be dismantled, the superhero Captain Atom, abducted by the Freedom’s Ring, exploded in another nuclear explosion that destroyed the city for a second time. This further delayed the return of the public to Bludhaven, but eventually the wall was mostly torn down and the borders opened again. People began to return and rebuild their city.

Rumors and a handful of police reports and blurry photos indicate that Nightwing himself moved away from Bludhaven in the wake of the destruction, choosing to operate in New York City instead for roughly three years. However, he appears to have recently returned to Bludhaven and reclaimed his position as the city’s primary vigilante.

Many residents of Bludhaven have not forgiven Nightwing for the tragedy. But many others have, and it is not the place of the Daily Planet to comment on this.

It is our place to comment on the government of Bludhaven’s massive coverup of the initial victim’s bodies and their egregious desecration of the dead.

Earlier this morning, Nightwing released a report to the wider public via the official Titans social media accounts, describing the details of an investigation he has been conducting for the last month and a half. His report revealed the long-standing coverup the Bludhaven government has conducted by lying to the public by keeping the bodies of those killed in the initial attack from their families and storing them in a charnel house just outside the city.

Three months after the initial attack, the United States government announced that they would be releasing the bodies recovered by heroes such as Superman back to their immediate family members. The family members were allowed to conduct normal death rites according to their beliefs, but they were expressly ordered to not open the caskets.

“Chemo’s radiation is different from most radiation,” President Horne explained at the time. “It’s different. As far as we can tell, it sinks into the human body and continues to produce dangerous particles. The coffins provided contain the radiation, keeping everyone safe.”

That was a lie. The documents that Nightwing just released online explain how the coffins were instead filled with weighted bags in order to simulate a human body. Those who requested for their loved ones to be cremated instead received regular fireplace ashes.

Every single body was kept and stored in a charnel house. Countless people buried an empty coffin, one they believed their loved ones were in. Instead, hundreds of thousands never received proper burial rights. They were stored in fancy filing cabinets, each one carefully labeled with a name.

“The space is almost endless,” Nightwing wrote in his description of the charnel house. “There’s thousands of bodies, just abandoned and left to rot. It’s horrific.”

But, not only were the public lied to in a devastating betrayal by their government, but these bodies have affected people even today. The Flyboiz recently moved into the charnel house, believing it to be empty. Unfortunately for them, as Nightwing explained, the bodies were radioactive enough to mutate Flyboiz further than they already were.

“The radiation reacted with their mutant physiology, changing them into mindless, raging monsters,” Nightwing recounted. “They were dying. If I hadn’t arrived when I did, they would all be dead.”

Current Bludhaven Mayor Grayson-Lin has refused to respond to our request for a comment, consistent with her two-week absence from any public events. Former president Horne has also refused to comment. People have begun to rally on the streets of Bludhaven, surrounding the mayor’s office and demanding an explanation for the lies they were fed.

Everyone deserves to know the truth of their loved ones’ fates. Everyone deserves the chance to perform their respective burial rights. Everyone deserves honesty from their government.

Nightwing has brought the truth forward. Now, it is up to us to ensure this horrific wrong is corrected.

Superman and Batman Missing After Battle with Villain Duo

May 24th, 2025

Written By: Piera Landen

Yesterday, Superman, Batman, and a mysterious Robin responded to a distress call at the Superman Museum in downtown Metropolis. The trio battled Gotham villain Scarecrow and Yellow Lantern Sinestro, nearly beating them. But at the last moment, witnesses explain, Sinestro shot the trio with a gun weapon of unknown effects. All three are now missing.

Someone must have spread the news about a retro-themed day for superheroes, as at 11:46 AM yesterday, Scarecrow and Sinestro attacked the Superman Museum in downtown Metropolis. Both of them were, for unknown reasons, clad in older costumes of theirs, from at least a decade in the past. When Superman, Batman, and an unknown Robin arrived on the scene, they were similarly dressed.

“It was like I was ten years younger,” Maxwell Caven, a history student at Metropolis University who was visiting the museum to conduct some research, explained. “Batman was wearing that old blue and gray costume from when he was still a mystery to the public. And that wasn’t the same child Robin we occasionally see glimpses of! At least Superman still looked mostly normal.”

The purpose of Scarecrow and Sinestro’s was likely as a trap for the heroes. Museum curators report that nothing is missing from the displays, and Cavan remembers vaguely hearing Scarecrow say “draw the S-cresters to us,” as he ran from the initial attack. 

Thankfully, most of the civilians were able to successfully escape from the museum before the MPD arrived on the scene. The only civilian casualties were minor injuries from rubble as the building nearly collapsed, and fear gas inhalation. Those subjected to fear gas were quickly transported to Metro General Hospital, where they were monitored until a standard antidote could be transported from Gotham City and administered to the patients.

Despite the good fortune of the civilians administered in the attack, it appears our heroes were not so lucky. Officers on the scene watched Superman punch Sinestro through an exterior wall of the museum, leaving a hole behind, before emerging with Batman and the mystery Robin. The officers present were unable to reach the group before Sinestro obtained a mystery gun and shot the heroes with it.

“There was a bright flash of light, then they were just gone!” Madison Cohen, an MPD officer on the scene, described. Left reeling by the shock of the heroes vanishing before their eyes, the MPD officers were unable to apprehend Scarecrow and Sinestro as they fled the scene.

In the 26 hours since the battle, none of the trio have been seen. There are no hints as to their potential whereabouts, and Superman hasn’t responded to any attempts to contact him. The Justice League has not released a statement, busy with the ongoing attacks by the criminal organization known as Inferno. If you have any information, please contact the editors of the Daily Planet and inform them.

For now, we can only hope that our heroes will soon return alive.

New Titan Spotted!

May 22nd, 2025

Written By: Piera Landen

It seems that the Titans have gained yet another member! The new member was spotted earlier today with Cyborg and Starfire in New York, saving people from a burning building and stopping a heist of US Navy-repurposed Atlantean Technology by Orca. However, this new Titan appears to be a hopefully-reformed old enemy of the Titans: Vanadia!

Two months ago, Titans Tower was attacked in the middle of the night by an android who, as Donna Troy, Wonder Girl, explained at the time “had the powers of every Titan. She had a version of my lasso, Starfire’s beams, Cyborg’s arm blasts, and everything else. Vanadia was like our own Amazo.”

Vanadia was created by the supervillain inventor Dr. T.O. Morrow, then working at STAR Labs as part of a villain reformation program, in their Post-Human Project. She was a victim of human experimentation that granted her the superpowers of the Titans, before having her brain implanted into a cybernetic body upon her early death. Her case was brought to light by Cyborg after the attack, and supported with files he took from the STAR Labs databases. Dr. Morrow has since been placed in prison again, and STAR Labs faced large fines, governmental sanctions, and a review of all their ongoing projects.

But despite the attention given to her case, Vanadia was still dead, destroyed by the Titan Raven in her attack on their tower. Her family held a private funeral, attended by the Titans, and reportedly buried an empty casket.

However, apparently Vanadia wasn’t lost forever. Earlier today, she was spotted saving families from the fire of a heavily populated apartment building in the middle of Washington Heights with Starfire and Cyborg. The latter two appeared to be supervising Vanadia’s first outings after her mysterious return to life. Together, the trio saved 58 inhabitants of the building, including all of the pets inside.

After the fire, the trio stopped an attack by the gang Whale’s Enders, led by Orca, on the U.S. Naval Combat Capabilities Development Command Research Center (COMDEV). This center is dedicated to repurposing Atlantean technology and making it effective in military applications on the surface.

Orca and her crew attempted to steal ten suits of retrofitted Atlantean power armor, designed to house one person each and give them a collection of high-tech weaponry. If the suits were successfully stolen, “we would be facing a national security disaster of the worst kind,” Dr. Jesse Finley, director of the project, stated. Vanadia interrupted the arrest, first battling Orca directly before seizing control of the power armor with her apparent ability to control machinery.

Unfortunately, Vanadia’s seizing of the machines apparently affected Cyborg as well. Starfire was forced to catch her fellow Titan and make Vanadia stop, as Cyborg had fallen from the sky. Later, in a post on WayneSky, Donna Troy informed everyone that Cyborg had made a full recovery. 

The Titans leader also explained that Vanadia had been under the team’s custody and was reactivated and had Dr. Morrow’s manipulative programming removed by them, in order to give her another chance at life. “Vanadia may have a spotty past, but she is now a fully welcomed member of our team,” she stated. “We will be working to train her in being an effective superhero, so please keep an open mind. We’re very glad for her assistance.”

Hopefully Vanadia will continue to operate on the Titans for a long time, proving to everyone that sometimes, villains can be reformed. We wish her the best of luck!

Survey for/about Female Comic Fans!

Hi everyone! I’m in the process of conducting a small-scale research project for an undergraduate class and was wondering if any of you would be down to take and/or share a survey about female fans in male-dominated fandoms like comics. It should only take about 5-10 minutes, and it’s 100% confidential. I have attached the link below.

I have to get at least 25 responses by the end of the week, so I would really appreciate it if you shared the survey with your friends, mutuals, etc.

Thank you for reading! :)

Superman Saves Polar Ice Research

May 21st, 2025

Written By: Clark Kent, Lois Lane

In northern Greenland, buried amidst the piles of snow and shifting ice, there lies a tiny research station. Only two people live here, where the sun doesn’t set for months at a time, supply planes only come every three weeks, and the empty plains of the Arctic are the only thing for miles. The future of the human race rests on this tiny research station, one which Superman just saved.

The polar ice caps are now melting at a rate of almost 13% per decade, and scientists estimate that, by 2040, the ice caps will be completely gone. This is a direct result of global warming, one which scientists around the globe are scrambling to try and discover an answer to. The two International Arctic Research Center (IARC) scientists at Station Two, in Northern Greenland, believe they’ve finally found the answer: solar deflection arrays.

While previous polar refreezing techniques have concentrated on pumping seawater to the surface and refreezing it, Dr. Harmon Pearce and Dr. Lizbeth Addison are working towards a completely different method. Their method involves a series of solar deflection arrays scattered across the polar surface, reflecting a large portion of the sun’s light before it reaches the ice. This will prevent most of the ice from even starting to melt, and keeping the trapped greenhouse gasses inside. In short, their proposed method interrupts the feedback loop and slowing the melting of polar ice.

Dr. Addison, when describing the solution, stated that “if this array works, we will have bought humanity some time. Another decade or two to find a solution.” The pair of researchers explained that they were on the verge of a breakthrough, one that may give humanity some precious more time.

However, all of their hard work was nearly lost when a supervillain named Kilg%re attacked the station with cybernetically implanted polar bears and orcas. Kilg%re was also likely behind the sudden failure of two of the research station’s mainframes, where all of the science data was stored.

Thankfully Superman appeared to be visiting the area, likely stopping by his famous Fortress of Solitude, and saved the researchers. The Man of Steel easily defeated the polar bears, orcas, and Kilg%re, before returning to assure the scientists that all was well.

“If it weren’t for Superman,” Dr. Pearce explained, “Kilg%re would have probably eventually killed us. Then all our hard work would be lost forever and humanity would be doomed!”

Humanity is once again in Superman’s debt, as the brave researchers would be dead without his intervention. Now, with their equipment fixed and Kilg%re’s influence gone, Dr. Pearce and Dr. Addison will finally be able to reach their breakthrough. Perhaps they’ll discover the secret to saving humanity’s future.

The Funeral of Wildcat: the Man Behind the World’s Best Left Hook

May 20th, 2025

Written by: Whitney L. Walker

Misfortune follows the Justice Society of America as they lose yet another member. Just over a month ago it was announced that the decorated hero Wildcat, known for having the best left-hook in the World, unfortunately passed away while protecting the new Doctor Fate. His private funeral was held at some point during the following month, with his public funeral being Saturday evening. Seeing as Wildcat was extremely secretive about his life, we at the Daily Planet cannot write a eulogy out of respect for both the deceased and any family he may have. Instead, we have compiled a number of stories from both heroes and civilians alike to show you the man this beloved hero was.

Queen Hippolyta: I met Wildcat in the 40s during my own Wonder Woman tenure - don’t ask, it’s complicated - and he was certainly an interesting man. There weren’t many men I deigned worthy of my affection then, and he was far from the ideal man, but there was something about Wildcat that was captivating. 

Maria Evangelina Wood, civilian: The entire JSA has been a favourite of my household for generations. We had his picture up on the fridge, right besides the picture of the Pope.

Power Girl: Wildcat was one of those men you can’t help but like. When we first met, he was chauvinistic and hated asking for help, but his own stubbornness got the better of him. He realised that he was acting unjustly towards me and other female members of the team and put his mind to fixing that. He came a very long way.

Superman: Losing a family member is never easy and that’s just what the Justice Society is - a family. They connect and love one another in ways the League can’t comprehend, they’re one single unit sharing the same thoughts and emotions. Wildcat’s presence is forever gone. That's a pain I believe we can all understand and respect. 

Farah ibn Farooq, civilian: I was a child in the 50s. My family had just moved to America and there were many horrible people, and Wildcat protected me one night. From then on, I was obsessed. I’m now 86 and I still add to my Wildcat shrine as often as I can.

Jay Garrick, the JSA’s Flash: To paraphrase my own speech - we all knew he was tough. He never backed down, he lived to fight, and he didn’t need a magic ring or super speed to do it, ‘cause he had the best left hook anyone’s ever seen. He was a hero, he was Wildcat, he was a soldier, he was a leader, he was a mentor, he was a father, and he was the best of friends I could have hoped for.

Jesse Quick: Without Wildcat, it feels as though I’ve lost all sense of direction. I’m running and I’m going as fast as ever, but I don't know where I’m going. I don’t know who I am.

The JSA’s Green Lantern: When I recruited Wildcat for the JSA back in the 40s, I knew he would be an essential part of this team. Right from the start, he was determined to bring justice. Those myths of a Batman in Gotham are nothing in comparison to what Wildcat did, what he achieved. It pains me that such an integral part of our team - that such a good friend to me - will no longer be there to watch my back.

Yolanda Montez, civilian: He saved me, offered me a home, offered me a life, a family. I’ll never live up to who he wanted me to be. I worry he’d be ashamed of me if he could see what I’ve become, what I’ve done.

Doctor Fate (paraphrased through Jade): When he died, he was protecting me. I’m powerful, I’m a being of magic, I’m a doctor. And despite all that, despite my own inability to save him, Wildcat still made it his mission to protect me.

Black Canary: Wildcat actually trained me a long time ago. I went to him, seeking advice, and he helped without having to ask twice. 

Lucas Johnson, civilian: Wildcat was my dad’s favourite superhero, so I’d see a lot of merchandise or fanart of him. I never met the guy, but my favourite memory is going to sleep to my dad’s story; Wildcat had found him fighting some dudes in an alleyway and cheered him on. He truly was generational.

Jade: There was nothing Wildcat did better than caring for people. He cared for all of us. It’s who he was. Without Wildcat on the team, many of us have lost such a vital means of support. But we’re heroes, we’re strong, and we’re determined to support one another during such a difficult time.

Hourman: Everything feels like it’s over. Some of us are moving on, some of us physically can’t, some of us are cracking under the pressure. The JSA is who I am, but we’re struggling to keep it together. The only thing that seems to be uniting us is nostalgia and a sense of vengeance. For Wildcat, for the first Doctor Fate, for Sandman - for them all.

Obsidian: The Justice Society stands together as one in the wake of Wildcat’s passing. We are a society, we are a community, we are a family - and unlike some, we will avenge our fallen brothers and sisters.

We at the Daily Planet extend our deepest sympathies to Wildcat’s friends and family.

Hundreds Nearly Die as Memento Mori Killer Strikes Again!

May 16th, 2025

Written By: Piera Landen

Last night, the Vauxhall Opera House in downtown Gotham City was filled to capacity as opera fans listened to a highly-acclaimed rendition of Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida. Little did they know, they were only moments away from facing down the notorious mass-murderer Memento Mori. Nor did they know they sat in the exact location where, in 1941, an explosion led to the stage collapse that killed all 21 cast members of another production of Aida.

If you haven’t been following the developing Memento Mori case in Gotham, then you may only remember the prior string of murders in London. In 2001, a serial killer known only as Memento Mori swept across London, leaving behind gruesome crime scenes that resembled historical murder scenes. One of the most famous examples from the London murders was the brutal slaughter of an entire dinner party at the Maison Étoile, in echo of the Greaves Dinner Massacre.

Thankfully, Scotland Yard eventually arrested Professor Atticus Blye, one of their retired detectives turned crime-scene instructor. Blye was discovered in his flat, covered in one of the victim’s blood and surrounded by irrefutable evidence. There was clothing with more victims’ blood, artifacts from a memento cult, and a plaster death mask that lined up with descriptions given by witnesses.

Blye was arrested and charged with murder, but determined to be too insane to serve time in prison. Scotland Yard decreed Blye’s murders as copycat killings of similar Memento killers in the past, and closed the case. Blye was committed to Broadmoor High-Security Psychiatric Hospital, where he later died in 2011. The world believed that to be the end of the Memento Mori killings.

At least, until a fire began at Bruce Wayne’s Sacred Heart Medical Center fundraiser three weeks ago. The fire, starting in the boiler room, resembled the blaze which claimed the lives of two dozen Sacred Heart patients and staff dead a century ago. Thankfully no one died this time, with the only casualty being a young girl crushed by a falling chandelier. Her life was saved due to the quick actions of Dr. Malik Bashar and young Damian Wayne, and she is expected to make a full recovery.

But the attacks continued, soon followed by a ship crash at the southern Gotham Docks which claimed the lives of five gang members, a massacre of 27 ‘Mementist’ true-crime fans in the ruins of the recently collapsed Arkham Asylum, and a near jail-break at Arkham Tower. The last of the attacks, until last night, was the murder of Dr. Bashar in the sub-basement of Sacred Heart Medical Center.

All of these attacks in quick succession have confirmed the terrifying truth: a Memento Mori killer, believed to be a copycat of Blye’s murders, is loose in Gotham City.

Vauxhall Opera House was the latest attempted attack of Memento Mori, with the killer themself appearing onstage with a bomb strapped to their chest. Thankfully, due to the quick intervention of the elusive Batman and Police Nationale of Paris detective and Memento Mori expert Katherine Lautrec, the attacker was apprehended and the bomb disarmed.

The Memento Mori killer was identified as Travis Grimwell, the organizer of the International Mementist Society. Grimwell has been missing since the attack at Arkham Asylum, which he was present for, in addition to fellow Mementists Eddie Burroughs and Jenson Reggie. Reggie was identified as the perpetrator of the attack on Arkham Tower, but Burroughs whereabouts remain unknown.

Lautrec, in a press release, stated that “we believe the three Mementists are being coerced by the true Memento killer to carry out their orders. Grimwell will remain in GCPD custody, but anyone with information on the whereabouts of Burroughs should please contact the GCPD immediately. The real Memento Mori copycat still remains at large.”

If you are in Gotham City, or plan to visit the city soon, please remain alert and vigilant. Hopefully Memento Mori will soon be caught, once and for all.
