Yeah, I'll throw you a PM later on today, I feel like this is getting away from the purpose of the thread.
But you do bring up a great point; the Beyond universe is built for Batman and his particular brand of cynicism and brooding. And its a beautiful thing that works really well, but it's not the kind of future a Superman would build.
Now, Ive long believed that, somewhere down the road in a future we'll never actually reach, Superman has nearly finished grooming the world for the kind of future he wants to see us eventually reach; that bright, optimistic world of the Legion. He's almost got us to the point where that future is our endpoint. But that's a world built on hope and wonder and curiosity. There's not much room for the kind of gloom and doom you see out of Gotham.
And so the last hurdle Superman needs to overcome, the last "foe" he has to surpass before the Never Ending Battle is ended....is Batman. Because the future Batman wants to build (the only future he *can* build) can't exist with Clark's vision. They're diametrically opposed; Batman being a creature of fear and Superman one of hope.
So what does this all has to do with Jon?......do Jon and Damien offer a way around that final confrontation? If the first Age of Heroism is going to boil down to "Superman vs Batman" is the friendship between their two kids the avenue to avoid that confrontation? And if so, should it be used as such? Would a world with equal amounts of "Superman" and "Batman" in it be better than a world built on the values and characteristics of just one? Does the friendship between these two kids offer the chance for their fathers to embrace a little bit of the other's mentality and worldview?
