This new limited series helps launch an all-new Superman status quo, setting up story elements that reverberate across both Action Comics and Superman: Son of Kal-El in the months to come. Not only will Black know the right candidates for the team, but if Superman can make him behave himself and act in service of the greater good, then he’ll prove literally anyone can be a hero! They’ll have to move quickly, however, as the Ultra-Humanite forms his own tea m to take out the Man of Steel. Some tasks require methods and heroes that don’t scream “Justice League.” So Clark Kent, the Metropolis Marvel, seeks out Manchester Black, the most dastardly of rogues, to form an all-new Authority tasked with taking care of some business on the sly. Sometimes even the Last Son of Krypton needs to enlist help. Would we? Very few of us have ever killed anything.Sometimes even Superman finds a task almost impossible. "There is a certain demand for it, but I just keep wondering why people insist that this is the sort of thing we'd all do if we were in Superman's place and had to make the tough decision and we'd kill Zod.
Why would we want our superheroes to do that? In fact, the more you think about it, unless you're in one of the Armed Forces, killing is illegal and immoral. And I don't think many of us ever have to make the decision whether or not to kill. "I don't know about you, but the last moral decision I made didn't have anything to do with killing people. I don't want to sound like some fuddy-duddy Silver Age apologist but I've recently noticed a lot of people saying Batman should kill the Joker and, yeah, Superman should kill, he should make the tough moral decisions we all have to make every day. But I'm not sure about the killing thing.
