Back when everyone was gnashing their teeth over the fiaso of the New 52 in DC Comics, I knew that eventually the “real” Superman and hence my Lois & Clark would come back. What I never imagined they’d have the courage to do was give Lois & Clark a son. From what I can tell, just having Jon Kent in the picture has rejuvenated the Superman stories in ways that no one imagined.
See, it’s not simply the addition of their son as the new Superboy, but also the whole dynamic of Lois & Clark as parents. Especially Lois. But also surprisingly what it brings out in Clark/Superman. Take this fan created mini-story about Superman’s son Jon having a sleepover with Batman’s son Damian. So cute. (If you’re confused at first like I was, the one squeeging over the belt is Jonathan Kent. The disgruntled one is Damian Wayne.)
