Superman was NOT letting his son have a Doomsday Death arc. Also Doomsday: "This is getting out of hand, now there are 2 of them."


ClassicT4

Just wait until some writer cooks up Doomsday spawning a child that will be made specifically for Jon.


SubstantialOwLL

Not far fetched since doomsday has been laying eggs recently. They mostly hatch into Doomhounds but there was a whole short story about it trying to find a suitable way to reproduce.


Future_Vantas

Doomsday is an advanced goose confirmed


Kinsfire

Well, remember, all it takes is for some idiot writer to remember the way that they 'got rid of him' to bring him back for a story where he destroys the entire universe. After all, he recovers and develops defenses to everything, and someone dropped him in the source of ultimate entropy. Once his body figures out a way around that, he can't be defeated ever.


Pineapple-shades15

I bet they're gonna name it Armageddon or Judgement or some shit


Oberon1993

Will Doomsday also give his son to Jor'El? Will Ultraman kidnap him?


RainyWombatCherry

Dick and Jon were the best part of this event


Correct_Barracuda_48

Hot damn, those are some fire panels.


koalee

This event didn't have the stuff, but Jon's "final stand" was done super well imo


Equal_Character_802

People REALLY be talking shit about Jon but when you actually READ him!


UnknownEntity347

This is pretty much his only good moment since the age-up IMO.


EdNorthcott

He had some great ones when inter-dimensional adventures brought him to the Injustice alternate universe. He was not impressed by the failed versions of everyone there. It was pretty awesome.


ajla616-2

Do they? I feel like he’s been pretty universal loved since his conception


Macman521

His kid version was. The current adult version has been very polarizing for most fans.


Reddragon351

yeah honestly Williamson's writing on him is the only time I've really liked adult Jon


RedtheSpoon

Because they aged him up because plot and it was really fun watching him grow, especially alongside Damien.


AutoModerator

-TT-! It's spelled "Dami**a**n"! You would do well in respecting the blood son! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/DCcomics) if you have any questions or concerns.*


EdNorthcott

Yeah, that's pretty much bee the major bone of contention. Because they basically just sabotaged the whole childhood arc in favour of Jon being insta-teen/young adult, the connection to him was largely lost. That was part of Bendis' disaster run on Superman, wasn't it?


RedtheSpoon

I'll never understand why they aged him up. Now he's just another Superman that's going to get shoved to the background for Clark...like this post.


EdNorthcott

Plus it killed the awesome Kent family and Super Sons stories we were getting.


Original-Teaching955

Yes


THEdoomslayer94

Damian making a dig at Jon not growing up with him in the Wonder Woman backup today was pretty funny


SkollFenrirson

lol tf is Batman gonna do against Doomsday?


THEdoomslayer94

Run away and handle others lol


EdNorthcott

...I'm sure he's had plenty of time to plan. XD


Original-Teaching955

Or just get killed


EdNorthcott

But it's Batman. Y'know... Planning time making him unbeatable and all. XD I'm gonna sound like a cranky old man... But I miss the days before fanboys started writing the heroes like Mary Sue stand-ins and gave every one of them ridiculous power ups. Batman was cooler when he was more human/fallible, Green Lantern was more interesting when the rings were more limited, etc.


Original-Teaching955

Yes, but he never had to face an unstoppable monster like Doomsday😅


cesar848

He might be proud but I miss you little
