Try this one
EDIT:
Got an even better version
EDIT AGAIN:
Just read a small bit from Tomasi's run where Jon asks if he'll be "just like dad someday" and Lois puts a cap on that thinking real quick. Tells him to focus less about being Superman and more about being Jon.
God, I wish they had kept that energy going forward.

Hot damn that's a gorgeous page. I'm probably going to trade wait Williamson's and Melnikov's Robin series, but the art and enthusiasm so far is the most exciting thing from DC's Infinite Frontier line-up. His young Jon is awesome. Nice find.
I enjoyed that interaction between Lois and Jon, one of the few well written scenes between mother and son in a series that did focus on the father-son relationship, much as I love Tomasi and Gleason's run. I also would have liked for subsequent Superman writers to focus on exploring what makes Jon a different kind of hero from his father rather than the carbon copy direction we seem to be getting at the moment with aged up Jon. Ah to imagine what could have been is a favourite past time of the Jon fanbase...
I feel like if Jon looked visibly older from Future State Superman to Future State Superman/Wonder Woman, his change in characterization would not be as confusing.
december 21st has passed where are my superpowers?
His characterization would absolutely make sense in it if in the next issue they went "Jon has lost the ideals he had when he was young"... but I absolutely don't think they'll do that. It'll most likely just be "both approaches to do good are correct", without the slightest hint that Jon used to be different.

Wow, I am loving that all white look for Diana! Very chic.

All this talk about Jon possibly becoming a Superman in the main universe and I'm thinking to myself it would've been nice to see him get a Superboy solo.
