DC Comics finally admit an enormous mistake. Giving Tom Taylor the flagship Superman series and free reign to make any changes he wanted to Jon Kent. Superman: Son of Kal-El is cancelled after only 18 issues. The writing was on the wall for months. Sales tanked after Tom Taylor changed Jon Kent's sexuality to bisexual and only featured gay romance stories in the series. DC Comics are also relaunching Superman with Clark Kent and a new writer and revamping Action Comics starting with issue #1051. It wasn't all good news. DC Comics are putting one of the worst writers in all of comics on Action Comics. DC Comics finally admit mistake, cancel Superman: Son of Kal-El.

Cancelling a Superman tilted book SHOULD be a huge embarrassment to DC. It SHOULD be a wake up call that one of their tent poles failed to hold up it's corner. Superman has been around longer than my grandparents, maybe you should look at why that is instead of becoming the editorial team that oversaw the complete collapse of his name value.

@tommyfishhouse8050 Год назад

DC or Warner Brothers don’t even see Superman as “a tent pole” anymore. They see him more as a nuisance. Because they don’t want to write a character like Superman because the mere existence of such a character makes them feel self-conscious about their own poor lifestyle choices.

Can Jon be fixed, yes. The bold move is to do it by de-aging him (better yet, making older Jon a clone of the younger) and bring back supersons with he and Damian.

@SuperCam-me3mj Год назад

My idea would be this older bi jon kent is from another universe and the main Continuity Jon is a straight 10 year old from rebirth. Send older Jon back to his universe along with Jay nakamora, so DC won’t get backlash. Then again, the backlash would be worth it cause it will bring back the old readers who left since bendis came along.

@nobodyknowsforsure Год назад

My idea was bi John is a clone, real Kid is still in stasis and is found by Batman who didn't want to tell Superman the truth until he was able to confirm Jon's status because it would mean his real son was missing and he knew how it felt when Damian died. He tells Superman the truth and brings him back.

They're not going to admit their mistake. If anything, they're going to admit OUR mistake. We're at fault because we're bad people. Their only mistake was to not know before hand we were too awful to appreciate their flawless comic. The writing isn't bad, it's just too deep for us. The comic isn't boring, we're just bloodthirsty weirdos. The dialogue isn't awful, we're just such bumpkins we don't know how the better people speak. And most of all, we're terrible for wanting the characters we like and not wanting them to change so the writer can signal his virtue. Until we learn to appreciate Taylor's greater than Shakespeare prose, they'll have to feed us "readable" trash.

@@hellsonly8908 it doesn’t, honestly. The only time that Jon is depicted as being only interested in Girls is when he kissed Saturn Girl in Bendis’ Legion book ( and even that could only happen because Jon was aged) and in the Future State Justice Book, where it was implied that he and Yara Wonder Girl would be come a couple . That’s it. Jon being bisexual doesn’t invalidate any of that, especially Future state, since that’s nothing but a what if story to begin with. People are acting like Jon has an established dating history that makes him being bisexual seem out of character. That’s just not the case.

They can fix it by having 17-year-old Bi Jon Kent go to the Ultraman universe right when 10-Year-old Jon Kent arrives and realize that he is not the Son of Clark and Lois Lane Kent in the main DC universe. But he is the Son of Ultraman and a Superwoman from the Antimatter Universe. Finally, they can make Antimatter Jon, AKA 17-year-old Bi Jon, a hero by having him save 10-year-old Jon before he is tortured by Ultraman and Superwoman. The plot would be Ultraman erased his Son memories and sent him to Earth One to destroy it by being a Social Justice warrior. Jay Nakamura was also sent to Earth One to ensure 17-year-old Bi Jon fulfilled his mission. Now that the real 10-year-old Jon Kent is back on Earth One, Jay Nakamura finally reveals his true Evil intentions, and it's up to the real 10-year-old Jon Kent and Damien Waynes, the Super Sons, to Defeat him. Can the Super Sons Stop the evil Jay Nakamura, AKA THE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR?

So now John Kent will be wearing the electric blue Superman suit that Superman wore for a year back in the 1990's. That was a great year for Superman. Too bad John will be wearing that suit. A woman character named Strange Visitor wore the electric blue Superman suit during the Our World's At War storyline back in 2001 which was another great year for Superman comics. There is nothing great about any of Bendis/ Taylor's version of John Kent.

Someone needs to write that story. To be honest? That's the biggest reason why WB can't make a good Superman movie or Comic these days, and why companies like Amazon make so much money by dragging his image through the mud with grim gritty 'deconstructions' of him (see Homelander and Omniman). Deep down the people who write these characters, own these companies, and the rights. They know Superman would Hate and be openly outspoken against every bad idea and bad moral they stand for.

@Mai57 Год назад

@@kelvinsantiago7061 But if there's already a gay superhero like Gladiator... Why make another one? I really don't see what the problem was with how Jon's romantic life was written... beyond it *only* being a standard romantic b plot. While I certainly get that more people like to see drama, conflicts, and added stakes to romantic plot lines, making the normalcy of this one seem less compelling... and Jay definitely could have used more development... There isn't anything wrong with having Jon just be his usual adorkable self while in love, much like he was with Saturn Girl, and just let the relationship simply exist... Honestly, I often prefer that approach. Added note: The only *real* emphasis on the relationship not being straight came from outside the story, largely in the form of randos being outraged as if something salacious was happening... The story itself treated Jon's relationship with Jay in little to no particularly special way, which, depending on what you *want* from media containing lgbtqia+ representation, can be seen as either "great", or "not good enough", but either way it's not really a *bad* thing that this relationship was rather unremarkable.

@kelvinsantiago7061 Год назад

@@Mai57 I get what you mean but because they gave no special treatment to the romantic subplot it came out as bland in my opinion this is due to them just wanting to please people rather than actually wanting to write a good romantic subplot and by doing so they left many people wanting I hope they fix that with the new writer.

@Mai57 Год назад

@@kelvinsantiago7061 Yeah. Like I said, I can understand finding the normalcy of their relationship to be less compelling. I enjoy things like this, because I get tired of all the, honestly contrived, ways writers can find to introduce added stakes and conflicts to what can and probably should just be perfectly functional relationships. Then, on the "representation" side of things, it's just nice to see a non-straight relationship that *isn't* fighting for its life through problematic behaviors, orientation based drama, and ham-fisted messages or statements about how we *should* view these relationships as normal. Like, you brought up Gladiator, but, unless I'm remembering incorrectly, Gladiator isn't exactly the poster child for a normal, healthy, stable relationship. And again, I get it. People love to watch a train wreck, but when you have all of these ridiculous stigmas and negativity being thrown around at all things non-straight, especially in some comic "fan" forums... It's just nice to just see a bisexual dork and his boyfriend being supportive of each other, communicating clearly, and *not* dealing with any kind of forced relationship drama... yet... I don't have my doubts there's gonna be *some* way it gets added in, whether if it's in the remaining issues, or in the next iteration or whatever...

This whole fiasco is just very sad. Because publishers and media will look at this and claim there’s no room for LGBTQ+ leads on major titles in superhero comics or that fans are to blame completely ignoring that there have been queer characters before Jon. And now they’ve made a beloved character toxic. Things like this set back representation not move it forwards. A terrible writer, poor character choices, and zero understanding what it takes to write action. Honestly they should have been writing a YA romance novel and not a superhero comic book.

Tom Taylor is one of the those writers I never saw the appeal of. I know people praise Injustice, but honestly, at least the first year of it wasn't all that great. Batman literally threatens to let Superman kill the president if the president doesn't make a bunch of political changes that he wants. And by he, I mean the author, not Batman. Also, they escalate further than the Regime does in the game, and that took place 5 years afterward.

Despite a lot of the hatred towards DC comics recently, they actually have some good titles like World's finest, Nightwing, Batman/Detective and so on and I am happy with that subset of the DC universe. I'm simply not interested in those other titles cramming a political agenda down my throat. Not because I have any issues with race or gender, just that I don't buy comics to be schooled or reprimanded - I buy them for superhero adventures. I'm not gay so I don't really relate to gay romance novels marketed as superhero adventures. I really enjoy superhero adventures. Couldn't care less what race or gender the characters are, just don't make that a thing.

@devanbarrios9216 Год назад

Hey, Wes. A little late to watch this but I wanted to give my thoughts on the announcement for this new Superman era. 1. The Cancelation of Superman: Son Of Kal-el. Good riddance. 18 issues and an annual and what does Tom Taylor have to show for it? A terrible run on a new character and a massive waste of potential. 2. The Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent. Too little, too late. Jon fighting Ultraman should've been the story from DAY ONE! I'm not reading this book. 3. Superman relaunch. Unlike with Tom Taylor, I can give Joshua Williamson some leeway. He's has written some great books. Robin was great and the first 6 issues of Deathstroke Inc were pretty good. Then there's his run The Flash which was incredible. I think Dark Crisis has some form of editorial meddling and Josh not playing to his strengths. So, here's hoping he's on his A-game with Superman. Also, I personally would've gone with Xermanico or Dexter Soy as the artist. 4. Action Comics revamp. Honestly, I thought Action was fine as is (Main story and backup story). Why do we need an extra backup story, by Leah Williams no less? At least she's only on it for 3 issues.
