Kon El: Superboy Appreciation 2018

[Vordan]

We should probably restrict discussions of Jon to his own thread, and leave this thread to Kon. I’m anticipating Bendis Kon to be more like his pre-Johns self, and in fact I’m expecting that for the rest of the YJ group as well.

[Kon93]

I wonder if Bendis is planning any curve balls with any personalities with SB,YJ team,or scarJo

[Smilingblade]

What powerset do you guys think Kon will have in the new Regin of the Supermen movie?

Ok so we all know in the comic story he had TTK,and that's it,but I'm hoping because they already used lex in the movie,and have him with his lex hybrid origin,then they also use the mix of powersets,BUT not go overboard and give him every damn power.i would prefer teenage SB having golden age/YJ show/early season Smallvile Clark type kryptonian powers,and TTK that looks and feels like kesels ,but works like new 52,as in consciously controlling his TTK,not just on until he passes out.also want those damn tactile senses,which lobdell introduced,but was foretold when Joe Kelly had SB dissemble all the guns in LA.

Dylan Sprayberry as Superboy by Dalton Barrett:

This looks awesome. Especially, the jacket one.

[Kon93]

Dylan should be SB,why they are dragging their ass idk.we need another superman movie,but introduce SB,and kara.

If we can't get that we need Dylan to be the Titans TV shows SB

[Last Son of Krypton]

Dylan is almost getting old enough to play Superman. 😀

Dylan is almost getting old enough to play Superman. ��

Lol,yeah,but he is short and has a young look,so he could play SB for a while.

Hoping they get him for the Titans show

Wasn't the actor who'll play Superboy in Titans already chosen? I recall there was a casting call for the role months ago.

Today Bendis said https://twitter.com/BRIANMBENDIS/sta...11444415651840

"not to embarrass @MagsVisaggs but you sent me an email last month about Conner Kent that was so on the money that it has completely informed my thinking on him going forward. just a big public thank you! yay comics!"

For anyone who doesn't know, Magdalene Visaggio is a fairly new comic book writer known for Eternity Girl, Kim and Kim, and the Milk Wars crossover (still need to read this!). Haven't read any of her stuff, but I found it so fascinating that she's quite the Conner Kent fan. Outside of Johns and his actual creators, I haven't heard of too many writers who a specifically fans of Conner to the point where they have a whole semi-manifesto in mind for him.

It's also really cool that Bendis is taking advice from a new voice on the character. Maybe Ms Visaggio might end up writing that Conner Kent mini Bendis floated as a possibility? I'd love to read that alongside YJ.

Is there anything where she has wrote her idea version or how she would use SB out there?

If not does she have a certain way she writes characters that might lend toward informing us to how she would portray SB?

[Kon93]

Ok so I looked this mags writer and I saw she commented in the Twitter thread something about how it's just like Bobby from king of the hill.i didn't really watch the show,but he seemed to have "some" traits like SB,like being funny,and good with the women,also not exactly what his father wanted in a son,but unique and good in other ways that makes him different than both his parents,and they say he was very real or keeps it real ,so i can see where they could see it.one big difference though is that SB was always the alpha Male in the room,course you can say Bobby was 2,just in his own way.

Anyway I'm wanting preview pages damnit
