Jon Kent Superboy Appreciation 2021

[sifighter]

I just feel like Jon is gonna suck no shade to the actor but one he don't look like the character, two the writing is from the CW they ain't known for quality I'm getting douchier jockier Archie Andrew's and that just ain't the move.

As someone who has watched, and enjoyed, the CW Superhero shows I will say that never treat them like the comic characters. They are pretty much separate entities that you have to see if you can like them on their own, I mean just look how different Supergirl is from the comics.

EDIT: Apparently it was done by @gozerdor on IG

This just makes me want some kind of animated series for these guys even more. Even though I honestly never cared that much about Kathy. Now that I think about it...We haven't gotten any kind of story with all four of them together, have we?

Which Kara? It's not like she's had consistent characterisation in the comics. Pre-Crisis Kara isn't Post-Crisis Kara. The CW may do their own thing, but more often than not their spin works, and is faithful to the characters spirit. It's hit and miss but so are writers in comics with the same characters.

There's been a few arcs with 3 of the 4 of them, but never all 4, sadly.

Huh, didn’t realize that Jon was a fan of Cyborg

Honestly, Jon seems like the kind of kid who's just a fan of everyone lol

But yeah. That was cute seeing him get excited about Cyborg being next on the death list XD

[LordUltimus]

Cyborg is basically a walking action figure, of course Jon loves him.

[sifighter]

I just think it’s nice in two ways

1. It’s nice to see Cyborg get that kind of respect and admiration, especially since you know this is Jon who grew up with Superman and the Justice League.

2. It’s nice to see Jon have some admiration for the generation that preceded him, the New Teen Titans and the Infinity Inc. members who are now adults. It’s kind of cool to see.

I may still relate to this fanart...

[Blue22]

I relate to it even more now than when it was made.

Why did they skip past the Time Luchadores to give us another boring Kandor style storyline.

Kathy was definitely an aborted arc we can blame Bendis for. In her last major appearance, she became a superhero named Beacon. Due to the creative team change, all that's happened since is a cameo in The Terrifics, which did a Bizarro arc, leading to Beacon and Nobody cameoing since they were looking after Bizarro versions of the Super Sons. Had Tomasi's Superman continued, Kathy would've definitely been featured more.

If I had to guess, editorial wanted him as "the Superman who makes controversial choices", so they went with that because few things are more symbolic of villainy in the mythos than bottling a city.
