Far less compelling at face value, but also fairly likely.
I'd hope Taylor would do more to spice it up and blend reality with fantasy. Effectively make it a story about Jon ending his virginity, but also signify that it's a moment of change, manhood, and greater possiblity in his life by adding something big to Jon's life. My picks being Century Baby reveal or getting into this greater power stuff.
In any case, we'll see.
"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.
There's always been an errant focus on the "sex" part of sexuality that is downright unsettling and disgusting. It's why there's a stigma that kids can't be queer because they can't have sex when that's not true, but enough people believe it that it might it as well be true which is why it's so important for non-sexual depictions of queer sexuality to be in media, especially when it comes to young characters.
The only reason I don't think it's going to be the Century baby thing is because he already is the hybrid of a human and a Kryptonian. I just don't see them playing that up and more likely, if they are going tragic romance route, then it becomes not only is Jay his first boyfriend but the first he has sex with. Thus making it into drama for drama sake.
Exactly. This is why Jon being a younger teen would work so much better in this story.
Yes we are on the same wave length.
Gonna call it:
Jay and Jon sleep together
They're a couple for a while.
Jay ends up fighting with him over something
Jay ends up joining the other side
Jon has his Magento where they constantly have a will they won't they bat/cat dynamic.
Rinse and repeat till someone comes up with a new character or Supersons and Kid Jon becomes more favorite which leads to de aging closer to Damian's age.
Which either leads to new teen titans, where they become friends again, or someone eventually has them become a couple, because of reasons if they go that route.
You don't see them playing up that he's a Kryptonian human hybrid or that he's a Century Baby? I don't understand your sentence.
But regardless, Jon being a hybrid that is more powerful than Clark is already something that they seem to want to explore. PKJ has said that Batman theorizes that the reason Jon is so strong is because he's just a hybrid, but PKJ made it clear that this was just a theory on Bruce's part and something that will be explored.
On top of that we actually see Jon's half brother from Future State-- who is also a Kryptonian human hybrid-- get his ass handed to him by Clark right after he expressed how he was told that he'd be more powerful. So what seems to be strongly implied is that there is something special about Jon himself and not Kryptonian hybrids in general.

I do hope Taylor adds more to Jay other than being a nerdy male version of Lois. But I'm sensing that he might be connected to villain in some way so I'll just wait and see.

That's an interesting take.
Better than DC oversexualizing characters in highschool like mediums outside comics tend to do
I don't think the company that freaked out over the BatCat sex scene incident will have Jon doing anything raunchy. They might even tone it down compared to Kon/Cass or Jan/Talia because they're not a straight couple and already receive enough backlash. But I'm glad they're having characters act like adults... when they're actually adults.
I feel like people in this thread freak out a little at the possibility of Jon doing anything mature (e.g. drinking or dating). Why? For a college setting, Taylor's kept it very tame so far.
It won't be as wild as Red Hood and the Outlaws.

Ok but hear me out Jon can be the Edna Mode of the DC Universe!! He can take all his parents journalism genes in his blood & make a career in fashion!!! Due to his Future End costume he can be the DC hero that breaks the mold & pushes the #NOCAPES agenda!!!
