I’m happy that Jon’ll be interacting with Damian more, but like others have said it just isn’t the same and it’s lost some of its charm IMO (I also wish Jon had a better costume but that’s another story)
Hmmm... She was behind him and he noticed about it?
THANKS
I thought that I was the ONLY with problems with that SuperKid. Or is only that you Dislike what BENDIS made with him?
Yeah.. Last time that I saw Maya was before Gleason left.. Both Damian and Maya were unlucky when he left.

You're definitely not the only one who has problems with Jon. But I'm not one of those people. I love the kid. He's one of the characters who got me reading DC comics again. I just hate what he's become since Bendis' run. Even if they are taking steps to fix some the problem.
Damian is a Badass. Writers recently seem to forget that. He's been nerfed a lot since rebirth or he hasn't had many stand out fights/match ups so I welcome this Tournament.
I saw a post online of Damian's encounters with the Joker. wasn't aware they'd only interacted 3 times [thought it was more] anyway here how it goes
1, Beats him with a crowbar
2, Attempts to strangle him with his baby hands
2b, Stabs his foot with a Screw Driver
And the third time Damian attempts to run him over
We need Badass Damian back.
Yeah, I've accepted there's no going back now. Jon is a teenager and Supersons in their OG form can only be in stories set on the past.
I have high hopes for Taylor's Superman and for the boys. They can still have their Bromance as we saw in DCeased..
The age gap between them is back to what it was.

Yeah that's definitely the best way to take it but I just can't. The character is way to marred for me now. Like Bane. Or Charles Xavier. Or the Inhumans (Even after they've gone back to normal and that conflict with the X-Men ended, I still can't look at them the same)
I'm happy that Taylor is trying to preserve as much as old Jon as he can (especially his friendship with Damian. Though I never had any doubts about that). But my perception of him now is just...too damaged. The kid who helped me get back into comics and helped me become a fan of Superman was taken away, way too soon and now they keep plastering reminders of him onto a new guy. A new guy who could very well be a good character now that he's in the hands of a writer who knows what he's doing. But he still ain't my guy. He's not one of my four horsemen in my profile picture lol
Like...as a Super Sons fan, a pic like that should make me happy. But honestly, it just kinda hurts. Shit tugs right at my heart xD

Bendis marred the entire Super line for me (comics wise, at least) with how he did things. Even if Taylor writes Jon as a 10 year old in a 17 year old body, its too late for me. Taylor did a good Super Sons in DCeased, yes. But unless a number of things in the Super line change, I can't bring myself to read it anymore. Because it wasn't just Jon's character that was destroyed by Bendis.
I’m holding out hope that the age up will be reversed in this Superman run. Probably at the end of it, if I were to guess. But I still want to see how they handle Jon’s interaction with Damian. The new Robin solo comes out next week right?
Double Damian in July, as not only is he in his own series, he's also starring in that month's issue of Truth and Justice!
