Superman: son of Kal-El

[Celgress]

I mean it's better than Drake?


It's a weak name, but frankly Jay's kind of boring as it is.

You don't say. I haven't noticed.

PS I hope they either make Jay a lot more interesting or end the pairing. Honestly, as things now stand, boring Jay does nothing at all for me. I have zero interest in his and Jon's relationship. I suspect it is because the dude reminds me (very much so) of Classic Gwen Stacy - a "perfect" character with zero flaws, an overly-goody-goody type, who is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

I'm reminded how over on I Am Batman, Jace's first supervillain is named Man-Ray, ya know like the villain from Spongebob

Whats next, naming Yara Flor's nemesis after a Rugrats character? XD

I half expect if the character does break-up with Jon, for Taylor to then use him to headline a Revolutionaries spin-off he's clearly building up to.

If not otherwise I expect Jon to officially join the team and have them be his supporting cast. Which is gonna be really awkward cause I read Suicide Squad Bad Blood and let me tell you, Osita their leader HATES Superman

Like Manchester Black level hate. When she and the team encounters Superman at the end of the run (who is actually Black Mask in disguise) she immeidatly goes into a massive rant about how Superman and superheroes in general suck because they "protect the status quo" and "don't save anyone" and yadda yadda imagine anything Manchester Black would say in the Truth, Justice story.

Jay Nakamura thought Jon was proposing to him! Turns out he was just giving him a Legion Flight Ring.

Jay was joking he clearly didn't think Jon was proposing to him. This is not the first time he has made fun of Jon's earnestness.

Guess they’re rebuilding the farm. Yippee.

Guess they’re rebuilding the farm. Yippee.

Why is Clark shirtless? I mean, this is a guy that is literally powered by the sun and can lift hundreds of tons (if not far more) without issue. And would certainly have work clothes, besides the overalls.
This isn't the "orgasm cover" level of "wait, what is this?", just, "but, why?"

[Mantis-Ray]

This is weirdly sexual

I was wondering that as well. Clark is a very attractive man but this image makes me feel strange.

Everything else is wholesome, apple pie, other walton-esque clichés than bang off on the side is shirtless Clark in dungarees with the bib properly fastened [ who would even wears that?]

As much as i like looking at buff eye candy, I don't want to look at this.

At least have the bib completely unfastened. make him completely topless if sexy is what they are going for.


I just find the look confusing.

[The Frog Bros]

Standard issue Kent farm flannel.

Kent Boys fanservice .

Surprised Jon's boyfriend isn't in there...

[Psy-lock]

Clark looks like a male version of the Sexy Nurse trope.

Superman and son are reunited…so why doesn’t it feel so good? Could it be because of the Lexcorp automatons threatening the safety of Metropolis? I’ve got a bad feeling about this…
