He was explicitly "Richard Grayson" for a little while during the New 52 and nobody liked it. Quietly reverted to "Dick."
They're so childish about the name. DC editorial are literally the only ones who care about his name being "Dick Grayson" being the butt of a joke. Most kids laugh once and then move on. DC is just so damn bothered by it that it's tragic they haven't matured.
The thing, that nobody seems to talk about. There is another plot point that is still hanging in the air. Jor el. What are they going to do with him now that jon is going on his merry way? Doomsday clock was also supposed to be tackled by Bendis. What's happening their? How on earth are they going to return jor el's status quo back? What about the kents returning is that happening or not? I don't know what's going on anymore.
Wait....how?
How did you read both? I thought Superman wasn't due out till next week, and I thought Supergirl wasn't out till like the week after or something.
If all of the dates are messed up in my house, phone, and computer......there are some very confused people in my life right now lol

We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.
Wow, they took away Superman founding everything and gave it to Jon. Thanks, I hate it already. Unless Supergirl is in the Legion book I've changed my mind on buying it. I knew everyone saying "give Bendis a chance with Superman!" didn't have a clue. I've watched this guy destroy X-Men, I'm wise to his writing.

In case anyone is curious and doesn't want to wait until Sept. 4th, Supergirl spoilers:end of spoilers
fills in a little bit more of the aftermath. The Legion scene comes in the middle of the book, which up to that point is basically the same as Superman #14 just from Kara's POV. She does talk about how Superman is kinda commanding the room and it is respected and whatnot. So it is clear that while the idea of the UP sprung from Jon, it most certainly will be Superman who puts it into action. Afterwards, it shows Kara talking to Starlord about what happened with Jon, basically saying that the Legion wants him to come to the future. Starlord is now ruler of Gandalo's former empire as well, temporarily at least. Kara then has a discussion with Superman about what is going to happen, while it's not confirmed, it seems like he's already been asked to be either the head of the UP or at least Earth's representative and is hesitant to do it. Kara gives him a little pep talk. Then kinda depressingly, Kara talks about how she finally feels good again, and wants to go back to Earth. Which she teleports back with Krypto having copied Jon's suit's teleportation tech. Which probably puts her right for the Leviathan Rising Special.
I say it's depressing, because Kara finally seems to get some closure, feels like she's in a good place and is headed back to be turned evil in this dumb YOTV nonsense. So that's where it leaves off. There was in fact no YOTV stuff in the book. And in the Legion, Lightening Lad is indeed shown as being black. So it will be interesting to see if that changes for the non-recalled version.
I'm so lucky to have been right there when this fell of the truck. Right place, right time. I should hang out in some Kansas corn fields, see what turns up.
Well at the very least, I can be sure that I'm not a time traveler from a week ago lol
And I gotta say I'm very happy with what I'm reading here (aside from the year of the villain stuff that's unrelated). The stuff regarding Clark is exactly the sort of confirmation that at least one person on here needed. And frankly I think I needed it too, because even though I felt pretty sure that Clark's role going forward would still be big and active given the spoilers from the collected preview (16-21), it was nice to get something closer to an in story confirmation.
The next 7 issues of Superman are gonna close to some of my most anticipated so far for a number of reasons.

I missed a "did you recently take a trip with your crazy grandpa" joke in there too.
And yeah, the conversation between Clark and Kara are definitely the high point of the book. Maguire's art is also obviously on point for this. There's good Zod material in both Supergirl and Superman. The way he is being used in both is solid.
