In this series, the Joker doesn’t appear until the 1980s, two decades after Batman showed up on the scene.It's really in that way that Lois kind of becomes the biggest influence on Superman, because he sees the courage it takes to tell the truth to power and to go out and report on wars and events without being bulletproof. There is plenty of potential for Superman: Space Age to take off even further in future installments. Lex Luthor sees it and he thinks this world is on its way out, so I need to make sure I grab as much as I can and bury myself underground as deep as I can before it all implodes. It's like giving Superman the challenge of figuring out what it means to be good in a world that is spiraling out of control.

Meet Clark Kent, a young reporter who just learned that the world will soon come to an end (Crisis on Infinite Earths) and there is nothing he can do to save it.When he's released 20 years later, he focuses his efforts on trying to absorb Wayne Enterprises, dismissing Otis' idea to use Kryptonite against Superman, and never directly confronts the Man of Steel once in this story. It is implied that this story is set on a Pre-Crisis universe and the events in the present (1985) take place during the first Crisis. Taking place primarily in 1960s America, Superman Space: Age Book One is a brief retelling of Clark Kent’s origin, accompanied by his first major mission as Superman -- protecting humanity from itself during a nuclear standoff between The United States of America and Russia. Russell and Allred are two of the most unique voices working in comics, so to see them unite for Superman: Space Age makes it likely readers are in for something special with the new comic.
