It's from a recent New52 story where Vandal Savage stole Superman's power.

Superman had eventually gotten his powers back by using kryptonite (yep, it's one of THOSE stories..) which poisoned him as well as provided him with new powers.
Everything led to this version of superman (New52) dying and being replaced by the pre-new52 superman.

DC pulled a DC!
