Before DC’s Absolute Universe, the New 52 Changed Everything

Among DC Comics’ notable and contentious projects, there’s the New 52 initiative. In the year 2011, DC decided to completely overhaul their comic book universe, making everything that happened before irrelevant in the new storyline. This meant canceling all existing comics, such as the continuous runs of Detective Comics and Action Comics, and launching a fresh set of 52 titles. These new books were designed to serve as entry points for readers joining the DC Universe. The rationale behind this change was that the complex backstory required to understand many DC comics, like Batman, made it challenging for newcomers to dive into the stories, thus limiting the number of potential readers.

This captivating 21st-century take on the World’s Finest duo not only refreshed the concept for modern readers, but it also delved deeply into the core traits of Superman and Batman individually as well as their dynamic as a team.

Tried to Take Control
