That's an interesting questions and the answer is "yes".



The popular misconception with the "Death of Superman" that happened in the early 90's was that he was dead and buried. Indeed, Superman was dead. His soul was on the way to the afterlife and his body was depleted of all the solar energy that keeps him alive and well. This death occurred when he fought the character Doomsday to the finish.



Superman's body was then brought to a solar regeneration chamber within the Fortress of Solitude and this soul was reunited with his body.



But enough about that. That is not the Superman that I was speaking of.



During the Infinite Crisis storyline, the "Golden Age" Superman of Earth-2 (Kal-L), fought - along with the current Superman - the character known as Superboy Prime. In this battle, the Golden Age Superman, after flying through a Red Sun sustained such injuries that he died a permanent death. This is a fitting end as he now joins his wife, Lois Kent (of Earth-2).



Are things over for this Superman? Well, not quite. DC comics will be launching through it's Green Lantern title this summer a story called "Blackest Night". This story will feature the many other colored Lantern Corps that exist outside of the Green Lanterns. There are Green Lanterns (Willpower), Red Lanterns (Rage), Yellow Lanterns (Fear), Orange Lanterns (Avarice), Blue Lanterns (Hope), Indigo Lanterns (Compassion), Violet Lanterns (Love), and lastly, Black Lanterns (Death).



The Black Lantern Corps apparently will consist of dead heroes like Jonn' Jonzz - The Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Firestorm, and the Golden Age Superman.

No, every 10-15 years the comics do a reboot/ret-con, in which they reset the back story, so that Superman/Clark is typically between 25-40



during the resets, various things are adjusted, such as



whether or not one or both Ma or Pa Kent are still alive

Lex's Job

Lois' family history

the dichotomy of the CK/Superman dynamic (ie is Clark a total wimp, simply dull as dirt, or simply perceived as such for disappearing to suit up)

the extent of Superman's powers



while the story has been reset since the 1990's Doomsday arc, I believe they make reference to it, but the events of the time frame are highly condensed, and if fully explained might more likely resemble the "Superman: Doomsday" animated film, than the Graphic Novel or the Novelization "The Death and Life of Superman"



I think there have been a few one-shot, non-canon Graphic Novels which postulate an Older Superman, 40-years or so into the future, but they have no bearing on the present day arcs, or past era plot points

Nope!

Superman is constantly remake but hardly aged. The latest movie showed slight aging to superman. Also according to louis and clark series superman ages slower then the rest of us.



Also side note june 30 was superman 72 birthdays

well it depends what your talking about, If your talking about the character, doomsday, and alien, killed him. doomsday was an alien that came down to earth. superman just could not beat him. but if your talking about the person who played superman, i can tell you about how the first ever superman actor, George Reeves died- it was late at night, well more like early early in the morning and friends came to his house but he was asleep and not sober. he was mad at them for waking him, only because he was intoxicated and his wife said "don't worry about him, he will probably go shoot himself now" (or something close to that!) George Reeves would pretend to shoot himself as a party trick. he went upstairs and did it but the gun was fully loaded- okay there is more to it so u probz didnt wanna know tht story anyway!

well the last time he really died was when he fought doomsday. He was killed during the fight but then was brought back. I dont think the creators will ever let him stay dead or let him age. And if he does he will just get a reboot just like all comicbook characters.
