Superman from the comics: Starting with the Black Robe

Joey, a war correspondent who was in the same profession as Superman, was unfortunately sent to another world by a cannonball and became Kal-El.
But what about this strange, seemingly real world I live in? And who are Homelander, Queen Maeve, and Black?
Refusing to become a superhero like these scoundrels, Joey stumbles through this disorienting gray mire until he arrives in the real 'DC Universe'.
Knowing the plot well, Joey thought he had reached his "comfort zone," only to find that Superman's real test had just begun.
