     They certainly did not kill Superman - 2, Superboy, Lois Lane, 
     or Alex Luthor - they are on a planet better than earth.  The 
     Superman/Superboy question is easy - they are not the same 
     person - read DC Presents for the whole story.

     The Luthor which you are talking about was the Earth-2 version -
     since the Earth-2 Superman is in paradise he doesn't need an
     adversary.

     There is a rumor that a new Flash comic is in the works - with
     Wally West and Jay Garrick starring.  I hope he doesn't rejoin
     the Titans - they have enough problems with Starfire, Mento, 
     and Raven.  Not to mention the unwillingness of Nightwing
     to be leader.
