Its not like I don't get the tug. He's a superhero. And the son of Superman. The latter dynamic is always going to dominate. It just is. And as a fellow superhero writers always want to develop dynamics with other heroes out there. On a surface level, maybe mother and son doesn't seem as interesting. But it can be. And its important.

At this point, I would prefer Jon to have a more solid foundation built into the Superman line proper. There is nothing wrong with him sometimes teaming with Damian (even if I don't read those adventures, not caring about what Rebirth has done in this corner of the DCU), but, honestly, how about Supergirl, Superwoman, Steel, Natasha, etc. ? Couldn't they interact with Jon for the benefices of both parties ?
To be honest I'm wanting Superman to get involved with more of those parties first and foremost. Especially Kara. We were promised more of a relationship between them in Rebirth. And while it is definitely more positive, its still very few and far between that they're actually around one another.

Damian would be a good precedent for this.
IIRC, Damian debuted in 2005 on the pages of Batman. How long after that did he get a solo ongoing title?
Personally i think it is not the age of Jon to move around DCU now. He is only 10! If they want to try they have to make him older say by setting this in the future. Having said that i would love to see him interacting with other heroes. After all i love Jon.
I agree with Sacred Knight. They should focus on mother and son more. Most of the time it is Clark and Jon. Why not some Lois and Jon? Maybe spare an arc or two. Give them some good time in the main book. Well give them a Lois and Jon book and i am in. Lois: Supermom. I love that.
But it shall not be at the cost of SuperSons. I love that book.

I haven't taken to Jon but why not although i doubt he can carry a long term solo series.
Given that Super Sons is now ending in May 2018: Can we finally get this idea off the ground ?
September 2017:Four months later:Hey, maybe Jon can run away from home after he's Grounded! and travel the country for awhile!
