Actually there's quite a bit of reason to read subtext into that tweet with the way it was written. There was deliberate, teasing word play there.
That's not to say I think he's going to turn the kid into a splat on the wall, but it could mean other things like usage of the flare.

Crap. Just got back into Supergirl last week and caught up on the back issues of the current story arc. I know that the book will be back much sooner than later with a new #1, but I hope this is just for silly renumbering purposes after Superman and Action.

To be fair, he did say he was having a "blast" writing Lois too, and she has no flare powers

"he is a blast to write. a blast. lois too. but no spoiler fishing. "
Given his penchant for younger characters, and how his run is going to be dealing with America today, I'd be shocked that he would leave out the most important child and female in the Superman world.
The idea of his run (as we know it now) almost demands them be present in some way.

I'm sure he'll be around. I'm not portending doom for him (outside of the tongue-in-cheek), just that his tease sounded very much like intentional word play regarding a particular scene he might have been writing at the time of posting that. Meanwhile, I'm just still hoping its lesser focus at least compared to how prominent he was in Tomasi/Gleason's Superman. If I get just that much I'll be satisfied. If not...well we'll see. As for Lois he made it quite clear from the get-go he'd be using her a lot but that's never been an issue for me.

I'm sure the focus will be on Clark/Superman given everything we've heard him say about the books, and the DC Nation #0 pretty bluntly saying "With Truth, Justice and the American Way all under attack, both Superman and Clark Kent find there's never been a more important time to stand up for what they believe in." And it's said that'll lead directly into Man Of Steel, and Bendis himself says Man Of Steel leads directly into his Action and Superman runs.
So far that sounds to me like Superman and Clark are the main focus. But, given the subject matter he's apparently tackling, using Jon pretty regularly seems to make good sense, but I wouldn't find that threatening to Superman and Clark's focus. Plus, seems like Tomasi's gonna continue to handle Jon going forward.
