Wow, nearly 6 or 7 years out in space? That means he's spent nearly as much time with Jor-El as he has with his own parents (basically he has given he wouldn't have been cognoscenti of his first few years as a very small child). But you know what? I hope the kid comes back with a bunch of space jargon and know-how. He's always been so interested in all things space, so he must've taken to all that really quick.
I'd be 100% down for a Super Sons book that's just allowed to be goofy and out there without any worry of anything impeding it continuity wise.
Yeah, this is where I'm really assuming they'll keep that up. It's kind of like how in the Teen Titans cartoon Dick is still and will always be Robin, and kids seem to not care.There's also the DC Zoom imprint versions that are just starting as well. That format, while not popular with comic book fans since most of us are old, is a killer format with tween and young teen crowd. I think WB's realizes that they have a good gateway drug in Jon and Damian, so their adventures will continue even if Bendis keeps his older Jon.
I'm far less sure of this idea at the moment, not because I don't think it's doable, but because all signs seem to indicate that Lois will be just as surprised about Jon's age up as Clark is. I was under the assumption that she'd be the one to set up that whole deal if it were the case. Now, it could still happen, and it would totally fit into the more openly high concept world that Bendis is crafting in both books, plus it again does fit the "new normal" idea, but I'm just not as sure of it now.That would be a pretty great sci-fi take on it. Though I still think it's still possible that they decide to reveal that Jon's real father is Superman and Clark has been functioning as his stepfather all these years. It may take a more delicate hand than Bendis to make that work without making Lois or Clark look bad in the process, but it could actually be done and tie back into the adoption narrative.
