Kenan Kong/Super-Man Appreciation 2021

[J. D. Guy]

My Adventures With Superman, the new cartoon that’s coming next year.

Didn't know that was a thing.

Didn't know that was a thing.

Not surprised DC hasn’t really been advertising it. They’ve got a new Batman cartoon to show off instead

Although maybe Kenan could be in Young Justice? Hell I’d take just a cameo, Weisman already shoved every character he could into the show might as well include Kenan too.

[13th Superman]

Niiice designs! I'm holding out hope they show up in animation or live action!

I mean, can't say that's any different for me, 'cause I didn't know there was a new Batman cartoon, either.

I really would like to see Kenan back in the Superman family. But why haven't we seen him lately? Did something happen?

Jon became Superman? Nobody wanted to use Kenan after Yang? For the latter I couldn’t blame them, the dual edged sword of Kenan is that he’s deeply immersed in Chinese culture and mythology. Makes him a great character who stands separate from Clark but it also means unless you’re familiar with the mythology and culture you aren’t going to really be able to do right by him. Wish they’d ask Pak to write him, since they’re recruiting Marvel writers again.

I wish they'd let Yang give the book another chance.

Same. I’d take a mini even. But I also think DC is making a mistake not putting out an an anthology book like Urban Legends that showcases the lesser known members of the Superfamily right now including Kenan.

I was hoping that the Kenan story in the Asian Superhero Collection book a bit ago would kick start some interest in him again...

Right! Can't just give that character to any old writer. Gotta be someone who knows the necessary historical and cultural background. It's really what made that book so special.

It was nice to see him but he basically needs to be appearing repeatedly or get adapted in one of the DC media projects going on right now to really get people interested.

[J. D. Guy]

I remember this. The cover/print that looked like an early concept of Kenan.

[Robanker]

You guys think there's any chance our guy Kenan is going to show up in Monkey Prince? With Yang onboard, I hope he appears at least once, even if only for a cameo.

I’m hopeful, he’d fit in well with the whole mythological cast given his powers are mystical in nature. Someone should ask Yang if Kenan will show up.
