There's been hints before. Jon was described as the 21st century Superman, in contrast to Clark's 20th century version.

I think Infinity Inc might actually be generation 2 actually. Which would make them older than we've usually seen; peers to the League instead of the New Titans generation.
But I don't recall anyone saying anything about Infinity being on that timeline at all, so who knows?

Bumping because in James Tynion's newsletter this week he mentions his batman plans are now going into 2021, so it seems like 5G isn't happening as originally intended as far as rumors go. He also says he has some projects spinning out of death metal and a lot of stuff comes out of joker war as well in the newsletter.
Sounds interesting. Would feel slightly better if things didn't look like they're on hold indefinitely because of the shutdown. I would hope that they have some kind plan to get comics coming out again before late this year or even next, with or without diamond.
Not sure what to make of the Death Metal spinoff thing. I was getting the impression it would end up being an "Age of Apocalypse" thing. Not really wanting to see much more BWL.
Retiring so he can be a full-time parent? Because the others weren't worth that, but the new kid is. But eventually, he just can't take being out of the action (probably, alas, when there's something Luke can't handle)...pretty much a worse-case scenario for me. A reboot to put him back the role could happen. Not that I want another reboot, really, or think it's a good idea. But I could see it happening.
This seems like the perfect opportunity to drop this whole "5G" thing altogether and come up with something else. WW has already been established as the first hero. That can't really be undone now. But nothing else is carved in stone.
