    Honestly the only reason to care has less to do with Jon and more to do how Lois and Clark can explain this to their co-workers without giving anything away (if Clark still cares about his secret ID)

    The first thing can easily be explained to the kids as him just moving away. It happens, kids lose touch with each other.

    The Planet though. I've been waiting to here an explanation for that given how close he and his parents are with everyone there.

    Considering Jon was about as close to Kathy as he was to Damian, and she hasn't been mentioned by Bendis, I wouldn't hold my breath.

    And can't forget that Bendis can't write Damian, at all.

At least for me.


    Being boxed in like that would be sorta limiting though, I mean, I don't really see the point to that over just doing another reality if that's the aim. It doesn't make the main continuity easier to understand. If anything it has the potential to make things more odd.
    We don't know how hypertime and metaverse is going to be connected to this. So, it might not box generations. We might get 4 generations of supermen.geoff johnes had both pre crisis guys(goldenage and silverage) appear in doomsday clock

    True. It all sounds really messy thus far either way but I'll admit without details its not easiest to tell. I'm just going on sparse information but at the same time also going off reputation, which I think is fair to add to the equation even at this early stage.

    Man, I was bored and was reading some old threads and I came across this gem from Last Son of Krypton three years ago:
    Deep down we all know the outcome of all this (although we don't admit it to ourselves yet)...

    Dc will kill even Superdad, then they'll age-up Jon for him to become the one and only Superman.
    Sad when jokes turn out true. Only thing he got wrong is that Superman isn't being killed, rather probably retire.

    OMG, my jokes about Jon replacing Superman are older than I recalled. 😂

    One of my reasons for having joked more than once about it is that I don't view Jon as Superman's "Damian" but as his "Connor Hawke" or "Kyle Rayner", a young legacy character that DC is pushing to appeal to a (younger) audience that in DC's mind the original character couldn't reach.

    So basically Superman just outs everything to everyone, it sounds like.

    I also found a really old post where when pointing out my misgivings about how they were about to handle Jon, that I "don't hate the character".

    ....This did not last, lol.

    Or Lois does, possibly without consulting Clark, which would be...a choice.

    Bendis teases news incoming regarding superman 18 on his twitter and insta https://www.instagram.com/p/B3smKTeB...d=apbcb90p7lds

    I'm guessing this is because January solicits are next week?

    The solicitations for 18 are already out (as it drops in December), so I doubt it's that, but maybe.

    I realize but with January solicits we’ll get even more info on how the status quo will shape after December(you don’t notice me in these threads all the tine anyways? Of course I know that )

    So this is all your fault, you guys! Dammit, I expect better from you!!

    That's definitely a possibility, although they could keep the January solicit vague if they want to. We'll see.

    And it's easy to get the numbers confused (I certainly have), so I don't assume anything.
