Kara actually wanted to be called Superwoman. Cat thought Supergirl was more marketable. Did Clark or Kara get their codenames due to journalists in the comics as well?
Ted IS getting a book, called Blue and Gold (as in Blue Beetle and Booster Gold).
Main universe Andy is just a baby. Only way she'll be Aqualass, let alone Aquawoman, any time soon is time travel or a sudden age-up like Jon's.
They did give Totally Awesome Hulk a new name, Brawn, and Jane Foster became Valkyrie. But Laura is still Wolverine (her reverting to X-23 was just for a specific mission), Hawkeye and Spider-Man have been shared for years, and Nova is now as well now that Rich Rider is back (though that one is similar to the multiple Green Lanterns at DC). Ms. Marvel was actually vacant when Kamala took it because Carol had taken Mar-Vell's Captain Marvel codename, so that one's safe. And they actually seem to have given Sam Wilson the Captain America mantle back, if you look at solicits for United States of Captain America, a mini which stars all three Caps (Steve, Sam and Bucky).
Forgotten? Did you not know about the Asian heroes special due out shortly? Kenan's in it.
$4.99 is correct - it continues the Tales of Metropolis backup story from the current Superman book, as confirmed by DC Connect.
They didn't actually reveal movie Supergirl's secret identity - she might not even be Kara Zor-El.
Didn't Clark destroy his time sphere in Death Metal, thus stranding Jon? Imra's probably coming back to find out why he didn't go back to the future. Jon will explain that he knows Clark's supposed to go away soon, so he wants to stay with him. And that will probably be the end of his time as a Legionnaire.
Conner didn't wear trunks either, lol.
At least he wouldn't be the only rookie on the team, thanks to Naomi. I wonder if she'd compare him to Conner, who was on Young Justice with her?
If that happens, where does that leave Cassie Sandsmark? Isn't Yara younger than her? Doesn't make sense for a Wonder Girl to be older than a Wonder Woman.

Agreed, Jon sans cape definitely helps the differentiation with Clark and maintaining that sleek look. Hope they keep that "messy" hair look too.
So how old is Yara actually supposed to be? Is she supposed to be pre-teen, or late teen closer to Jon?
“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
That was a writing error on Waid's part. No one in this incarnation of the Legion uses a time sphere to time travel. So whatever Clark destroyed it wasn't Jon's way into the future and back.
Plus, PKJ just confirmed that while Jon is currently being written as being done with his Legion adventures, the door is still open for more or going back and seeing the adventures he did have.
And apparently Taylor will be directly dealing with Jon and Saturn Girl in his run, but PKJ didn't go into how.
"Mark my words! This drill will open a hole in the universe. And that hole will become a path for those that follow after us. The dreams of those who have fallen. The hopes of those who will follow. Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, drilling a path towards tomorrow. THAT's Tengen Toppa! THAT'S Gurren Lagann! MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!" - The Digger
We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.
I like the cape on Jon a lot, especially with his swimmer's body type. The contrast is so nice.
It also works really well with the "taking the throne" idea. There needs to be some sense of regality to the look in order to communicate that sense of power and privilege that will be central to his plot.
Still a tiny bit worried about what the boots will look like though. I really, really, REALY wouldn't mind if Taylor request Jon get his DCesed wrestler boots. That was the only part of that design I was truly charmed by. And it was a nice (intentional or not) callback to the very first son of Superman named Jon Kent in the book Son of Superman.

So basically this look but Smaller is what we are all thinking

Does anyone else feel like this is literally the one status quo from Infinite Frontier that won't last?
What are other Infinite Frontier status quo? That Alan is gay?
Well we just have to support it, nothing is definite in comics but I’d like to at least try to support something new and see where it goes. Maybe Jon being a young Superman and Clark as an older experienced Superman will be an amazing thing, we just have to wait and see.
