It's a bird and/or plane...

I'll kick off the My52 library with one of the oldest names in the biz: 

The Adventures of Superman

April of 2010 saw Superman still hip-deep in his New Krypton epic, a storyline that wouldn’t conclude until June.  Once that wraps up, though, Supes returns to his place on Earth with a more focused attitude that can best be described as "comfortable." Having experienced his ethnic roots warts and all, Superman has grown more confident in his Earth-born code of morality and becomes an assertive man-of-action rather than a self-doubting man of indecision.  With this comfort also comes a great sense of humor, and his guilty pleasure is to just kind of mess with people both as Clark and as Superman, although probably not to the extent of his antics in the 60s.

Superdickery.com has more great examples like this, but imagine his victim as 
some un-prosecutable mob boss, and I think this illustrates how 

a more comfortable Superman can “defeat” opponents in ways other than just punching them a lot.

Lois and Clark are still married, of course, but I’m going to put some space between them by moving Lois from investigative newspaper reporter to broadcast news anchor.  Despite the existence of 24-hour news-as-business outlets, the Daily Planet remains at the top of the news game in the DCU due to a reputation of timely, in-depth and insightful news coverage.  GBS broadcasting wants that same level of legitimacy and woos Lois over to their news anchor desk.  For her part, Lois accepts the new job as an opportunity to influence a news channel. While this takes her off the streets (mostly), I see her change from “constantly needing rescue” to “powerful media icon” as an upgrade.  Plus I’m sure she’ll still find lots of trouble with her new, perhaps resentful cast of characters as well as the regular danger of just being Superman’s wife.

The vacated role of Endangered Normal will be filled by photojournalist Jimmy Olson.  No longer just a photographer for other people’s stories, Jimmy’s body of work has gotten him recognition as a legitimate reporter.  His penchant for disguises and amateur sleuthing don’t always work out, though, and he occasionally must rely on his Superman signal watch to get him out of a jam.

And while I have little intention of trying to change or “update” any of our classic costumes, I confess that I fell in love with the new S-Shield design for Supergirl in the New 52.  Similar to the 'S' Superman wore during his electric Superman Mint/Cinnamon Blue/Red phase, I think it looks pretty snazzy and reflects a more “get thing done” attitude.  Maybe I’d try to pass it off as an alternate family crest for the House of El based on his experiences on New Krypton.  I dunno.  He still gets to keep the red shorts, though.  

I entertained the idea of trying to draw it myself, but in the end I just 

Photoshopped it onto this drawing by Jerome K. Moore for Young Justice.  

Hopefully he doesn't mind me using his art here 

because I think he exactly captures the tone I'm looking for.
