Good freakin callback! I think I only ever read that once. Nice detail that makes him a bit more unique and strange without being too distracting. Plus it just makes sense.

So Snyder did an interview with Comicstorian on YouTube where he hinted that Conner might be coming back in Bendis’ Superman. How do you guys feel about Bendis writing Kon? I’ve been trying to think who else currently at DC would be a good fit.

[Sacred Knight]

It depends. If its the real Kon of this Earth I'll be massively stoked. If its some alternate version, I won't care.

If there's one thing that I'm the least worried about with this whole Conner coming back thing it's probably Conner's voice under Bendis. If there's one thing no one can ever take away from Bendis it's that he knows how to write a smart-ass young adult. From Peter to Miles he has that down pretty well, I'd say.

On a personal note: I'm still like half thinking that Conner gets reintroduced in Heroes In Crisis as one of the heroes at Sanctuary. Like Superman found or was made aware of him recently and has him stay at Sanctuary as both just a home and as a place to deal with whatever existential clone crisis early on. I think it's a great place for the character to be reintroduced because it's a place that is filled to the brim with Superman iconography from the farmhouse to the masks being the golden age shields. But also because it gives a nice callback to Pre-52 Conner without actually being that Conner. Remember, Sanctuary's AI is based mainly on Wonder Woman's compassion, but is also molded after Ma, Pa, and Lana. That's basically Conner at a farm house being looked after by Ma and Pa without being that.

I'm thinking he'll be shown there, and then after Sanctuary is exposed he'll be properly introduced in Superman by Bendis.

They've changed Supermans history they are bound to change SBs for sure, hopefully not by much, but I expect they will for sure. Maybe they can take cues from Peter tomasis Reign animated movie, cause you can tell by as little as we have seen that he has changed a lot, but he still feels like the SB I knew years ago.

My biggest question and concern is how he will be portrayed when he comes back. I think he should still have some of that cocky attitude, but also some of that mellow maturity he picked up by living with the kents pre flashpoint.

I just want him to look capable and focussed, and not a bland interchangeable older teen character

The question comes up at the 1:05:46 mark. It's a long, but good interview about pretty much all the things coming up in the DCU.(including another Superboy we've been suspecting to possibly return.)

Thanks for the link Midnighter, I appreciate it.

I'm not reading Bendis SUPERMAN (not because of Bendis either) but I'm hoping people will let me know hear when Kon appears so I can pick up that issue (or those issues!)

Cheers.

James.
