I mean, we don't know what it will be yet, of course. Just speculating. Also means will likely never see Kathy again (chances were already slim, though), and I'd have liked to.
Probably the biggest problem here, is that Jon fans never wanted the age up, let alone taking Clark's history and mantle, while Superman fans that aren't exactly fond of Jon, never wanted Clark to lose more of his history, let alone the mantle. It's a lose-lose for all but those that seemingly think Bendis can do no wrong.
