All of the movies are canon in and of themselves. They aren't relevant to the comics, not are the comics to them. All non comics media shows, movies, video games, etc. Canoniscity is relevant to its own continuity respectively. Because Superman Returns takes place after Superman 2. At the end of 2 Clark flies off into space to find himself or whatever, Superman Returns is about him returning from space, hence the title, and ignores the fact 3 and 4 ever happened.
Is there an continuity error that prevents this? Didn't Convergence make everything canon? Dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives. User Info: Kaitouace. CMPlay posted Essentially everything is canon again since they went back and "won" the first Crisis. So all those goofy versions of Superman exist in some other universe somewhere. And even if they did, no self-respecting Black man would ever wanna be. New 52 is the canon version of Supes nowadays.
Are there other versions? Also, DC has a series of books titled "insert franchise name here ". Superman is the only character that required a "" and a "".

With so many writers spewing out multiple versions of the same superhero, which one is actually canon?
There are plenty of great origin stories - both canon and non-canon - out there about Superman's humble beginnings, but most fans will agree that if there is one origin story that is essential viewing by now, it's Birthright , which - fun fact - was originally a non-canon story, but became so beloved by fans that it was written into the then-current DC canon.
An early something freelance reporter, Clark Kent's trip to West Africa inspires him to return home to Kansas to invest more into his alien roots, specifically by adopting the Superman persona.
This leads to him moving to Metropolis and having his first brush with Lex Luthor as the public becomes increasingly interested in this newfound Superman, wondering if he's friend or foe. Despite all of the work that Birthright did to establish Superman's origin story, the events of Infinite Crisis were enough to make fans question that origin when so many new timeline changes were made to the DC Universe.
To correct things, DC hired Geoff Johns to write what would be sold as "the definitive" origin story for Superman, which chronicles how his adoptive parents told him of his alien roots, discovering his powers, early superhero escapades as Superboy, and his journey from Kansas to Metropolis.
Kingdom Come is just as much as a Superman story as it is a Justice League crossover event. Taking place several years into the future, Supes and the rest of the classic JLA members have stepped down in favor of a new team of heroes, led by Magog, who takes a liking to kill.
This divides superheroes and puts the old guard on a collision with the new guard, highlighted by an epic fight between Captain Marvel now Shazam and Superman. Similar to Birthright, the popularity of Kingdom Come was enough for DC to make it an official story when both Magog and this dystopian future is introduced into the canon.
The future is averted when Maxwell Lord is able to kill him. Before Alan Moore revolutionized the comic world with the groundbreaking Killing Joke for the world of Batman, he settled on crafting a heartbreaking story for Superman, who had always been distant from understanding the planet and culture that was destroyed when he was a baby.
Now, suddenly, he lives a life of bliss on Krypton with a wife and child. Or, so he thinks when he's hallucinating an ideal reality while in a coma as the Black Mercy parasite leeches off of his life source while his dream grows more disturbing. And that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface as far as its impact on fans is concerned.
As for the death itself, it feels less as impactful when the story arc continues with a slew of different Supermen attempting to step up to the plate before the original miraculously returns from the dead, but nonetheless, this is one of the most essential reads in the character's history.
