''Superman: Birthright'' is a 12-issue limited series published by [[DC Comics]], lasting from September, 2003 to September, 2004. Written by [[Mark Waid]] and drawn by Lenil Francis Yu, ''Birthright'' brought [[Superman]] and his origins into the 21st Century. Originally intended to be an alternate continuity, until the events of ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', it was actually retconned into Superman's [[Canon]] origin, replacing John Byrne's ''[[
Beginning in the familiar setting of the doomed planet Krypton, Kal-El's parents Jor-El and Lara are forced to send their only son against the odds to a galaxy light-years away. The story quickly finds itself following Clark traveling the world to better find his place in it. Soon enough, he is inspired to become a symbol of hope for the people of Earth, assuming two new personas: Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter, and the hero Superman.

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Luthor's father believed he had the next "Einstein" on his hands and was completely ruthless in pushing his son to his creative limits.
* [[Alien Invasion]]: Luthor {{spoiler|fakes one}}.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: Issue 10 featured the corpse of Superman on its front in all its creepy detail. Not that it actually happens to Superman, considering there's another 2 issues to go.
* [[The Dark Side Will Make You Forget]]: All Lex ever wanted was to converse with an alien life-form, but when the moment finally occurs, he's so far gone that Superman sees him as a monster and Lex is more concerned with his bruised ego.
* [[Death
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Such is Lex's ego, he takes Superman's public shunning of him as a deeply personal slight. Despite the fact Superman was ''completely justified'' in his actions given Lex's direct involvement {{spoiler|in the gunships going berserk}}. So Lex goes out of his way to destroy Superman in typical supervillain fashion.
* [[The Dragon]]: "Van-Gar" to Luthor.
