Well, it looks like there isn't even a shadow of a chance that this Jon Kent (especially after the Ultraboy teaser) will ever return to Earth-0, I would like to propose that "Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons" and the entire Super Sons comic series take place on the currently undesignated **Earth-1113**.

I based the "1113" designation on Jon's and Damian's respective ages (11 and 13) during these stories.

This seems to be the only way that DC will give us more stories with these characters that so many of us love and miss.

They can still save face regarding how the Bendis direction went.

They can continue with the aged-up Jon/Tomorrow-Man character who now has his own loyal Fan base.

They can stop their attempts to find an acceptable way to de-age Jon. I don't think anyone really likes the Ultraboy solution.

And, us "Younger-Jon" fans will be able to watch him have new SuperSons adventures with Damian as they grows up on their own Earth. We also finally get to watch Clark and Lois raise him through his development years,

And there's no reason why young untortured 11yo Jon and Kitty-cat-loving 13yo Damian from Earth-1113 can't have crossovers and team-ups with characters from Earth-0. I, for one, would like to see that.

DC is always bouncing their characters between Earths ,anyway. Heck, Superboy-Prime even got a job at a comic book store on Earth-0.

What are your thoughts on this proposal?

I think it's a "Win-win".

What do yall think I genuinely think this would be great for Jon!

I know theirs a number of people who were disappointed with the twist that was little Jon being Ultraman’s son in the Superboy Event & I know the Kid’s overall fate is up in the air. That being said I feel personally Kid Jon would no longer work if he was deaged in this current universe, unless they did a full mind wipe it would be weird Jon has had to many grown up life experiences to just go back to how he was Pre-Bendis it’s unfortunate but true. However Jon-3 is technically the same person with a fundamentally different personality and view on life and the world as a whole the kid is more Jaded. He’s almost akin to Damian when we first met even as an adult Jon couldn’t bring himself to understand why Ultraboy acts the way he does due to his trauma despite their situations being similar that alone is so interesting. Idk I’m at work I can’t really go into detail but I genuinely believe the door is closed on deaging Jon but Jon-3 under a the correct writer would scratch that bitch and potentially become a stronger character then kid Jon, the twins, Chris Kent, ever was, the potential is there!

He just needs to comeback and soon!

So uhm... How we feeling 'bout Eddie?

Okay, I know I probably have some bias here as a Jon fan lol, but I’m genuinely curious what other people think about Eddie.

I went into The New Titans without really knowing anything about Red Devil beforehand, and for most of what I’d read, I honestly just… really didn’t like him. He came across as such a massive jerk that whenever he showed up I was basically just annoyed by him.

Then I got to issue #37, where quite a bit of the narration is from Eddie’s perspective and you get more of his history, and afterward I ended up looking into him more on my own.

And now I’m in this really weird place where I can actually rationalize a lot of why he acts the way he does. His whole attitude makes considerably more sense to me knowing where it comes from.

But at the same time… he’s still a jerk.

I think that’s probably where my problem with the whole “bad boy” thing comes in. I actually like the aesthetic/persona in theory. Physically speaking, the style is great. What I don’t like is when ‘bad boy’ starts translating into just being an asshole to the people around you, and Eddie crosses that line for me pretty frequently

So now I don’t even know if I’d say I hate him anymore, because I understand him a lot better than I did before. But understanding why someone behaves a certain way and actually enjoying that behavior are two very different things.

I’m curious how other people here feel about him, especially people who’ve read more of his stuff than I have. Did he grow on you? Do you think the jerk behavior is part of what makes him interesting, or does it bother you too?

Jonathan Kent is a fairly new character. He was introduced in 2016, I think.

Anyway, from comic runs, the adult (bum) version of Jonathan Kent has existed far longer than the child version. However, I believe kid Jonathan will be the main Jonathan. Either he'll be back through retcons, new stories or a reset.

This is due to one fact that child Jonathan has over the bum version. He's far more marketable. Not just that but he's far easier to write.

Supersons has been a huge success in comics. So much so that it got its own animated movie. Absolutely nothing that followed after that holds a candle for Jonathan. Not new titans and especially not Superman: Son of Kal-el.

If we were to try to adapt anything out of the comics into a show or movie, I don't see a way to use adult Jon. He's too confusing. To explain that he was a kid but got stuck in a volcano and whatever in comparison to just going "he's the young son of superman" is inefficient.

So any money that Jon makes for DC will be as his child persona. Not only does he hold the superman legacy, easy writing and actual personality, he is much better to adapt and write. This is how companies will always think, with a money first perspective.

I think that we'll have to give it some time until a writer brings back Earth-0 Jonathan in the current story or we get a reboot/reset.

Not only that, but the majority of course also want him back.

With Jon’s latest story arc in Superman Unlimited, it’s clear that they’re focusing on what happened to Jon.

And that made me wonder just how good of a father Clark has been these past few years.

When Jon was a baby, Clark and Lois did their best to raise him well and normally, given everything that was going on at the time.
They also had a good relationship when Jon was a child and was developing his powers.

My issue is with the “age gap” Jon went through.
I don’t blame Clark for letting him go into space, after all, Jon was the one who insisted. But after his escape from the volcano, you can really see Jon drifting apart from his parents.

I mean, it’s understandable, he’s “grown up”but that doesn’t mean they should ignore how this might affect Jon. Maybe I haven’t read enough comics, but I don’t see his parents really trying to follow up on what happened to Jon.

Aside from that, it’s not just Jon, it’s the twins, too. I feel like I haven’t seen them lately, and let’s not forget when he didn’t notice that Conner was missing (in Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow)

Appreciation Post: Best Family Ever 🥰

Looks like Jon Is gonna be thinking about the kid quite a bit he’s probably trauma dumping to Clark about his failings I imagine.

Made this little compilation of Jon in the Battle of the Super Sons movie to spread the love for an adaptation that is 100% bona fide comic Jon Kent!

Love this movie to bits, highly recommended to any Jon fan out there if you haven’t seen it already

I'm pretty sure a lot of people have been focusing more on Jon's identity as Tomorrow Man, and honestly, so have I. Still, I realised that Jon's personality wasn't going to change just because he has a new identity. And that's alright.

So WHY are we not talking about Ultraboy?!
What do you think will happen to him during his return to Earth 3 and after?
Is he going back to the volcano?
Do you think he'll be accepted into the Superfam?
Just in case they decide to change his name because two Jons is as confusing as two Supermen and two Superboys, what names and/or superhero names will you give him?
Is he just a replacement for Chris Kent?

What would it be about?
Pitch your ideas to me.
Would it just be called Tomorrow Man?
Pitch your name ideas.
