And all the reboots too. But it's in Lois Lane #12, one of the Bendis-adjacent books but written by Greg Rucka and drawn by Mike Perkins and Andy Troy that this all comes together.

Lois Lane knows all about this, she is the product of two versions of herself that merged. One where she was single, one where she was married. One where she had a child, one where she did not. One where she was younger, one where she was older. Now, we don't know the details but I suspect that Lois Lane doesn't mention Wonder Woman and Clark never mentions Jonathan Carroll. Or that she buried his body under her lead-lined patio.

But the comic draws a parallel between this experience, having two lives, having trauma causes by being fractured, of losing continuity, with the experience of imprisoning immigrants into the United States Of America. Of having two lives, of being fractured and kept from one's family. And rather than just have it be used as analogy to talk about something else, they crash the two together. Narrating one to talk about the other.
