As you wish.This didn't start yesterday.It started in 50s and 60s when superman started being a corporate entity more and more.
This is what you call a father figure.Allstar superman is a father worried about his kids after he's gone.There are other versions like american alien.which isn't,ofcourse.morrison's action had less of it as well.There is a good father and then there is paternalism.The above is paternalism.Allstar and the like are just him being a dad.
edit-
This is a father trying to stop his children from puttin their hands in flame.

While you personally may not feel that way, it's hard not to see Superman as partly a father figure in approach. Clark's more traditional incarnation is essentially a leader/father figure who attempts to be his best self every day and lead by example by being the ultimate role model. While you can lean more toward viewing him as a good Samaritan/leader figure, there's a good reason most leaders who are concerned with those around them are referred to as "fathers to their men." Clark's got serious dad energy most of the time. That's not a bad thing.
The original superman wasn't trying to be a father figure.He wasn't example to mankind.He's just made fun of it and himself.Superman used to be luffy.Superman basically is whitebeard at best now.Less fun version of Garp when he swings the other way.And sakazuki when he is evil dictator like injustice and red son,pardon my one piece brain.I just read it.Regardless of what,superman is an old man.Most of all,He's a hugger.

I'm getting a little more excited for this, may have to get them as they come out instead of sale waiting thanks to the TV show reminding me I missed my old friend. Do books actually come out on Tuesday now? Or is that a typo?

First Look: Superman's New Creative Team Makes Their Debut

Interesting choice to have regular people be the ones to neutralize the threat at the end of the fight (seemingly without either Clark or Jon expecting it). And having Clark acknowledging that and thanking the crew while Jon is apparently lost in his thoughts.
Other than that, yep, that's the coming of age story for Jon that PKJ has been talking about.
