Yup! Apparently, Superman is revealing that he and Clark are one and the same. The story takes place in a book being released in January called "Superman: Heroes #1"
Here is the cover. You may not be familiar with all the characters on it, so I'll give you a run down. They are mostly members of the Justice League (JLA) or Young Justice (YJ)
Starting in the back, the character in brown with the mask and staff was originally one of the Robins. The original Robin was Dick Grayson, who as an adult left Batman and became Nightwing. He was replaced by Tim Drake, he has now grown and left Batman as well, and goes by the name "Drake", that is the character in brown with the staff. He currently leads a team of teen heroes called "Young Justice", so Drake's team affiliation is YJ.
In front of Drake is Green Lantern and Flash. Across from Flash is a man with glasses. Plastic Man. Next to him is Zatanna, Batman and Aquaman (all JLA).
In front of them is a faceless man (Question - JLA) and then Impulse (YJ) and the newest Robin (Damian Wayne) . Next is Wonder Woman (JLA).
At this point you can see Superman's eyes reflecting in the glasses Clark Kent would wear. Directly under the glasses are the updated Wonder Twins (Jayna & Zan). Standing next to Jayna is Superman's best friend, Jimmy Olsen, Daily Planet photographer. Next to him is Teen Lantern (YJ) and next to her, Wonder Girl (YJ). Standing next to Zan is Perry White, Daily Planet editor. Next to Perry is Superboy (YJ), the young woman with the glowing elements on her outfit is new hero, Naomi (YJ) and by her is Green Arrow (JLA).
Front and center of them all is Lois Lane, and draped over her arm is one of the suits that Superman would wear when he was Clark.

Oh, I've heard of him!
Here are the ones I've heard of/could identify:
Dick Grayson
Green Lantern
Batman
Wonder Woman
Jimmy Olsen
Perry White
Lois Lane
I'm not even totally sure I know Green Lantern -- possibly I'm confusing him with Green Hornet.
I can think of superheroes who aren't on here, though. Like Green Hornet, Antman and ... well, probably others. Are they characters in the other brand of comics?
Is that Superman's left foot at the bottom of the pic, and if so, what kind of footwear is that?

Yes, that's his left foot, and I don't know why his boot looks that way. Perhaps for the event he's getting a costume change?
As for Antman and Green Hornet...... There are a lot of comic companies. Green Hornet was on a few different minor comic companies. Antman is on the roster of one of the bigger companies, Marvel.
Superman and everyone on that cover are all part of the DC Comics universe.

So when a movie features a big group of them, are they all from Marvel or DC? Is there any agreement among superhero fans that one is better than the other?
I feel like I would like Antman because it's hard to not like anything starring Paul Rudd. Did you see it? And what's that franchise Chris Pratt was in?
