Line 35:

* [[Superman]] is one of these, as his death was just a big publicity stunt after all. Heck, even if they had the guts to kill off Kal-El (The original 1938 Superman) they've already announced plans to bring him back.

** Unlike many other titles, the Superman books were published continuously through the years, so there was no character left behind in the past to be reintroduced in an aged form from "Earth-Two." Kal-El was invented to fill the slot in "Earth-Two" for Superman.

** In fairness, the writers of "The Death of Superman" never made it a secret that they were going to bring him back. It was pretty much to illustrate why the [[DC Universe]] needed ''[[The Cape|Superman]]'' rather than another [[Nineties Anti Hero]].

* [[DC Comics]] subverts this trope with ''[[Blackest Night]]'', where most of the characters they've '''ever''' killed off -- including the Earth-2 Superman -- come back... as murderous zombies. Plus, they're not really back in body and soul, just a twisted echo of the person they were.
