Reloaded Era (2003-Present)

With 2003's Superman: Birthright #1 (as well as 2003's Superman / Batman #1), Superman's origin was quietly retconned: he was shown leaving Krypton as a baby, contradicting John Byrne's Man of Steel mini-series. This change corresponded to the TV series Smallville, where the Superman character arrived as a baby. The feeling at DC was that this change made these two series more accessable and that Man of Steel was could be ignored because it was published almost twenty years before.
