Warning : contains looter forSuperman : Son of Kal - El # 3 !
DC Comics has just fixed a massiveSupermanmistake from Joss Whedon ’s theatrical release ofJustice League . The 2017 film was much - maligned by critics and fans , grossing only $ 657.9 million ( the lowest - grossing entryin the DCEU at the box officeat the time of release ) . Several last - mo edits courtesy of Whedon - penned rewrites leave audiences scratching their head at multiple plot trap - but inSuperman : Son of Kal - El # 3,written by Tom Taylor with artwork by John Timms and colors by Gabe Eltaeb , the creative squad fix an emergence that chivvy the coming of the picture - specifically involving Superman .
TheSuperman : Son of Kal - Elseries chronicles the adventures of Jonathan Kent , Clark Kent ’s Logos and eventual heritor of the Superman name . Jonathan cause a name for himself by fighting a raging forest fire , saving a sauceboat full of immigrants , and dead failing to keep his identity a secret ( it ’s blown on his first day of college before form even get down ) . Nevertheless , Jonathan believes make unnecessary others is more significant than having a normal life - because he knows that when his forefather eventually result Earth ( as foretold in the future ) , he wo n’t be coming back , and thus the world needs a Superman .

Kal - El and sonarrive in Coast City - dwelling to Green Lantern- at the scene of a catastrophe . The Infantino construction ( named after the belated DC creative person Carmine Infantino ) is collapsing and century of liveliness are in immediate hazard . Superman contain the already - tilting building and preclude it from falling to the ground - but , as Jonathan notes,“My daddy is stopping it from toppling , but he ca n’t stop it from collapsing in on itself . “John distinction that he has roughly four seconds to save 472 the great unwashed ( and their pets ) before the building crumbles altogether . A massive tower like the Infantino was obviously never design to be held from a undivided dot - something Joss Whedon draw a blank while rewriting a keyJustice Leaguescene .
During the climax ofJustice League , a recently - resurrected Superman flies to the aid of civilian near villain Steppenwolf ’s fortress . He ’s accompanied by the Flash , who saves a Russian familyby pushing their truck out of scathe ’s way … only to be show up by Superman carrying an intact apartment building ( presumptively ) full of survivors . unluckily , he ’s carrying it from underneath , which mean the weight of the total building complex is concentrated on a unmarried peak . The complex body part should have collapsed around Superman ; instead , he ’s able to carry it as if it was one solid object .
By calling out Superman ’s loser to keep the Infantino building intact , DC is admitting toWhedon’sJustice Leaguemistake . While admittedly a humourous good deal gag , the rest of the film ’s destruction obeys the Torah of natural philosophy ( superpowers aside , naturally ) . It also attend to to highlight the importance of Clark and Jonathan working as a squad : only by working together could they have saved the occupants of the Infantino . Supermanmay have been at the center of more than a few missteps in theJustice Leaguefilm , but in the comedian , he ’s as inspirational as ever .
