Holy crap. I haven’t read comic books in a long time, but I just found this on Wikipedia. Infinite Crisis? A sequel to the legendary Crisis on Infinite Earths? They’ve brought back Earth-2 Superman, Earth-2 Lois Lane, Alexander Luthor, and Superboy-Prime from the paradise universe where they’ve been consigned for the last twenty years? Whatever happened to “that door can never be reopened without the complete and utter destruction of all life everywhere”? I thought that was supposed to be a way to write Earth-2 Superman out of the DC Universe without actually killing him. So much for that.

Looks like I may have to catch up on some comics.

Here’s an old interview with a VP at DC Comics that gives some interesting background.
