Best to erase it, or sweep it under the rug as if it never existed. Truly awful.
And the suit isn't all that nice looking either.
As for Jon; others have already said what I could. His potential wasn't even wasted, but trashed when he was stupidly aged up. And no, I'm not saying him getting older was stupid, but the manner they did it. He should have progressed naturally, like Damian for example. Hell, it could have even been at least somewhat entertaining if his body was aged up, but his personality was still 10-11 years old. Then an adventure happens to return him back to normal. But, no. We get a story where he's left alone with a highly questionable figure by his own mother, kidnapped and emotionally tortured by evil versions of his parents, and we don't even get a response to that other than it was there.
Could Jon have been Damian's age from the start? Sure. And that would probably be the ONLY age up fans would tolerate. But this... I refuse to acknowledge this version. Nothing about this Jon sits right with me. In story and out.

I'm hoping Jon's time in space gets explored. I just thought that period of his life had more to offer in terms of story potential.
I'm also hoping some of the future state teases get explored. He better fight the Time Luchadores yo. Please make Trojyen more than Jon's Luthor.
He should definitely go back to Hamilton for an arc or a recurring subplot.
I’m not a big fan of how Jon suddenly looks much older and buffer now—probably to make him look more like an adult Superman now—despite still being seventeen and looking younger in previous depictions.
Personally, I prefer the way Godlewski draws Jon leaner and more visually distinct from Clark. Don’t want him to look too much like his dad.
I dig that idea. If done right, it could be a great exploration in mental trauma and would actually give some meaning to the volcano torture storyline. And what better nemesis for the son of Superman than an evil version of his dad?
Sure, but he’s about, what, late twenties in Future State? I’d like the current Jon to look closer to a teen.
Speaking of Ultraman, has he mentioned Jon since he got a new book and what happened to Superwoman (evil Lois Lane)?
But wouldn’t the problem be that they are rebooted versions of the Crime Syndicate? The Ultraman he would fight now is not the one who would have kept him in the volcano and the Superwoman now is Donna Troy.
