Superman being sent off into space

At around the same time as there's to be a fight over the cowl in Batman, post RIP, the Man of Steel is being sent into outer space in what's likely the next publicity stunt being pulled by Dan DiDio:
A short time ago, they made what has to be a mistake by bringing Kandor's citizens into Metropolis, which decreases Superman's own uniqueness on Earth. But sending him almost entirely into space doesn't improve anything either.
GB: And what about the Man of Steel?Ha ha ha. It may be fun for the writers, but that doesn't garuntee it'll be the same for the audience. Does this mean that he'll be breaking up with Lois Lane too? And let me guess: this has what to do with the contrived division between them seen in DCU: Decisions?
DD: Simultaneous to “Battle for the Cowl,” we’re going to be making changes in Superman’s world as well. Superman has been the star of "Action Comics" for its entire run, essentially, and he will be leaving it and handing it over to new characters. The only time he hasn’t appeared in the book, I believe, was after “The Death of Superman,” in those years. So this is a lot of fun for us. I think that’s going to get people excited and scratching their heads and wondering what’s going on. In his own book, "Superman," there will be a dramatic turn as the hero leaves Earth and it seems like he’s leaving for good. We’ll follow his adventures in space more so than his adventures on Earth, and that’s a big and exciting thing.
