(We weren’t kidding about that Doomsday comparison, folks)." "And it's one that the future-visiting Jon has warned he won’t survive. " will likely be Superman's biggest, most challenging battle since he first crossed fists with Doomsday," DC warns. The publisher's accompanying text with the preview pages calls back directly to the last time Superman died, painting a fairly vivid picture of what readers should expect. Speaking of Superman's classic enemies, DC recently lent even more credence to the ominous nature of Kal-El's fate with an early look at pages from November 12's Action Comics #1036, the issue that kicks off Superman's mission on Warworld. Jon will also put a new twist on one of his dad's classic rivalries in the upcoming Superman: Son of Kal-El 2021 Annual, in which he squares off with Superman's iconic archenemy, Lex Luthor.Īll of this seems to be setting up Jon Kent as the true inheritor of his father's legacy as Superman, similar to the way Wally West became the permanent Flash when his uncle Barry Allen died in Crisis on Infinite Earths.Īnd not for nothing, Jon and Wally recently connected, with Wally offering to mentor Jon as the successor of one of the world's greatest heroes.
And of course, during DC Fandome, the publisher officially changed Superman's motto from its most widely recognized version of "Truth, Justice, and the American Way," to "Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow" - a slogan seemingly designed specifically to match Jon Kent's superhero philosophy of trying to materially improve the world in ways only someone with the powers and profile of Superman can.
