Now, I like
Jon Kent just fine. I'm enjoying Super Sons,
I love the dynamic between Jon and Damian and I want that series to
go for a hundred issues.
The
thing is that Tim Drake is about to come back and I am very fond of
the idea knocking around the internet that the mysterious prisoner he
shockingly recognises is Bart Allen (whose pre-Flashpoint
self should still be running around somewhere). Cassie is... around
somewhere and fixing her would be not difficult. You'd probably have
to ignore a lot of her New 52 origin but that's basically what
Rebirth reintroductions are all about!
Which
leaves us with one last member of the Young Justice Big Four: Connor
“Kon-El” Kent, the Superboy that I grew up with.
Part
of me is going to hope forever for a proper Young Justice generation
reunion but I think DC is rather done with Kon. They have a new
Superboy and its hardly a title that accomodates multiple characters
at a time like Robin has for the last decade or so. Kon was rather
conspicuous by his absence from the flashbacks setting up the new
unified pre-Flashpoint/New 52 version of Superman continuity when it
reached The Death of Superman.
This
is comics we're talking about, though, and nothing stays buried
forever. Hell, the racist caricature from the very first Detective
Comics cover appeared in New
Super-Man not so long ago so
there has to be some chance for a character whose worst sins are a) a
crap New 52 title (hardly unique) and b) spending the 90s in a
leather jacket costume that aged real badly real fast, right?
