Let’s say that DC comes to you (yes, YOU user) and says that they want you to retcon the entirety of Bendis’ Superman run. How would you do it?
Let’s say that DC comes to you (yes...
It was just a dream made by Lex to torture Superman
Continuity is dead and no story forward will be sequential or in the same canon
Yeah I mean, this is DC. You don't have to do anything to get rid of Benis other than ignore
I wouldnt- it puts the Superman universe in an exponentially more interesting place than Tomasi's FAARM.
Pretend it never happened
Superman identifies as a water fountain and is involved sexually with a comic book store owner and is the bottom.
A larger than life icon, but with a Toku flare. I will not be afraid to be hammy.
Destroying everything you don't like instead of building something new upon it is a Bendis tactic, literally the whole reason people hated him in the first place
Superman tricks Rogal Zarr or whatever into saying "kltpzyxm" and mxy comes out and goes "oh shoot" and undoes everything
I'd do the same thing he does to previous runs. Ignore any change he made I don't like, shit on his OCs before killing them and insert waifus that fit my personal tastes. I'd also shill OCs like there is no tomorrow because I know comics are dying and the real money is in royalties from shitty adaptations that has next to nothing to do with the characters I made but I would get paid anyway.

Bring up the whole “Jon won’t be able to control his super flare in the future” plot point again and use it to start a story that involves retconning Jon leaving with Jor-El.
Opening panel something like this. . .
Don't expect me to be any less lazy and original as the retard I'm set to replace.
well id just
say it never happened and something else happened instead
doy
I've actually given this a bit of thought. Have it all be an Earth-3 plot. Jor-El was actually Ultraman and he was only supposed to bring Jon alone, Lois tagging along threw a wrench in their plans. They mess with her mind some how or another and that's why she's sent back alone and is acting out of character afterwards. Superwoman was pregnant back in Forever Evil, I think, and the Jon that we see is actually her son and not our Jon, who's trapped on Earth 3. E3!Jon will be a sleeper agent sent to fulfill his prophesy of bringing ruin to the world, he's the Superboy that ruined Tim's future from that one plot line where an edgy Tim Drake came back to kill Jon.
Damian can even be the one to realize that the Jon that came back isn't Jon. He had a sneaking suspicion but played it close to the vest while he looked into it. Later he can let Clark in on his theory. The whole thing can end with Damian letting real Jon on the Teen Titans. But sadly we're stuck with Bendis and his terrible plots
Pick the nuclear option and revert everything back to the Silver Age.
rename the title to Ultimate Superman
fuck off DC, you hired the guy
clean up your own fucking mess
that's actually pretty thoughtful.
Red kryptonite induced hallucination. Jor-El snaps Superman out of it and then they start repairing the family like they should have.
Yeah it's what happens when people who actually care about these characters tries to write a story.
Superman wakes up surrounded by lois and jon and lois says he got hit real good with a kryptonite weapon when he fought general zod during dan jurgens run on AC.
Superman then says zod? You mean general zod? The same zod from krypton? That zod?
>get rid of stupid powerful villain
okay
>get rid of invisible mafia
but why???
I'd keep Raggle Fraggle around but just say his destroying Krypton was just him being a nutjob who thought he did. After that he'd be demoted to joke villain/jobber status.
"Sorry Superman, you were exposed to Shit Kryptonite which gave you all sorts of nightmarish delusions"
Dark multiverse or Brainiac simulation.
Or just outright ignore it like he did with others runs.
Crossover with the legion of super heroes where teen Jon goes on a time travel adventure where he winds up accidentally erasing Rogal Zar, Krypton gets destroyed anyway cause COSMIC DESTINY, causes some sort of temporal anomaly that he can only erase by preventing himself from leaving with Jor-El, which he does.
This causes Teen Jon to be essentially cast out of the timeline where he now goes on adventures with Booster Gold, who teaches him about being a time travelling hero under a new Blue and Gold title that would see crossover with a lot of other forgotten characters like Waverider, and eventually superboy prime.
This thoroughly erases all of Bendis Superman while also trying to salvage teen Jon some way.
Not posible, because Jon is the inspiration of the Legion. So he can't be an impostor.
Dr. Manhattan did it.
Came here to post this.
Lead in to Doomsday Clock will reveal that ROFL CZAR was Doctor Manhattan or a creation of his all along to further fuck with Supes. And he was never the original destroyer of Krypton, the whole thing was an abberation on the timeline which will get rolled back out after Doomsday Clock finishes.
Lois makes a deal with Mxy to reset Jon back to his original age and brings him back from the Legion.
Events post Doomsday Clock officially out Clark as Superman again. But Clark tries to make an honest run of it with all the trials the government can throw at him. But him Lois, and Jon can publicly be a family again.
I forgot, somehow shenanigans reset his fortress again.
