I want my boy back
Making him an adult was such a dumb move.I mean there's already Superboy. Jon Kent being a kid gave him a niche and a unique role, but now he's joined characters like Tim Drake in the limbo of "DC didn't know what to do with us, so they made us gay."
>>150118587Not happening, sorry.
Unrelated, but are the new Absolute comics another reboot of the DC multiverse, stuff happening in a specific universe/timeline or a direct continuation of whatever the fuck was happening before them?
>>150118587I think the worst thing about how they did the "Aged up Jon" thing is that there is 100% no way Superman of all people would just let this happen to his own kid. He'd mcguffin a way out of it.
>>150118587Bendis ruined him and Taylor made it so we can never go back.
>>150118916The absolute universe is its own self contained thing. I think it was created by darkseid or whatever but it's its own thing
>>150118916Just it's own universe, running alonfside the main continuity. The same as the new 52 Earth 2 comics or The Ultimate universe.
>>150118668The baffling part is I understand he was one of DCs better sellers. Certainly one of the most successful changes in a long time. I don't know what kind of blackmail Bendis has on people but editorial should have kicked him the second it was suggested.
>>150118587They don't want you to have nice things.
When the current World's Finest run ends I want to see a Nightwing and the Super Sons version, at least as a mini.Or do a time-travel arc where the older versions of Jon and Damian from King's Trinity stories have to work with the young Dick from Waid's Year One or World's Finest.
>>150118587Bendis did it so I assume it's for the same reason he destroyed Spiderman's marriage>Don't want superman being a dad because then kids can't relate to him!
>>150118587If I took over writing for Superman, I'd do one of three things.1. Reveal that the aged Jon Kent is a clone that Jor El made and the young Kent is still around.2. He gets sent to the 31st century and stays there permanently3 He gets killed off.
>>150119207Can easily go back. Jon Kent is still in space. Jon-El (the gay teenager) is an Alt U Jon who can go be the legion’s superboy. He and the legion help Superman save kid Jon (who’s straight) and then go off to do legion things in the future. Everybody wins.
>Make History having every hero with a kid sidekick>Superman has a son>sundelly "kids cant relate to a hero Kid"
>>150122544>sundelly
>>150122474What if the clone was made when Jon went to the future, maybe the work of a young member of the legion?
