A local radio station ran a brief item this morning
on the 'revitalization' of Superman.  It sounded like
DC had held a press conference announcing the change,
which was picked up by the 'source' news network.

Highlights:
Noel Neill voicing her regrets on tampering with an
American legend.
 
John Byrne saying that for him the assignment is
scary.

The announcer closed with the observation that
the new Supes bears a 'striking resemblance' to
Bruce Springsteen.

Addendum (from the Wash. post)
..."The new Superman is no big deal, said Dim Shooter,
editor in chief of Marvel, who wrote Superman himself
in the '60s.  Editors were stricter then, Shooter
said, but now 'creative anarchy' reigns at DC Comics".

As opposed to 'creative totalitarianism' at Marvel?  :-)
The usual disclaimers,
