Super Sons | Comics

Superboy and Robin, sons of Superman and Batman form a reluctant super-team to follow in their fathers’ footsteps.

Being the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, Damian Wayne grew up to be a crime-fighter and served as the fifth Robin. Although his grandfather and one of his greatest enemies of his father, Ra's al Ghul intended for him to be world’s deadliest assassin, the boy eventually chose to become a hero just like his father and constantly struggles to stay on path despite his extremely arrogant nature.

Jonathan Kent on the other hand was born of World's greatest superhero, Superman and ace reporter Lois Lane at the time of "Convergence" and their family arrived at Prime Earth shortly before "The Final Days of Superman" of this world.

Being a Human/Kryptonian hybrid, Jon became a target for the entity known as Eradicator, who simply wanted to wipe out his "Human" half. He then fought back at him with superpowers inherited from his father. As sons of World's Finest superheroes; Batman and Superman, both Damian and Jon have a lot to live up to.

With completely opposite personalities of these two youngsters that very less often matches, it seems very unlikely for them to accomplish anything at all but they still manage to get their differences aside and accomplish great wonders.

Trials of the Super Sons
Believing Superboy to be a threat to humanity because of lack of control over his immense power inherited from his super-powered father, Robin deems him as a threat and sends assassin Maya Ducard aka Nobody to pick Jon up from school. She approaches Jon as a civilian before her cover is finally blown.

She still took the boy bearing a lot of trouble with some help from Damian's pet dragon bat Goliath. When Jon finally woke up in the Batcave, Batman came to release him followed by the Man of Steel. Before they could start a fight over him, Jon explained what really happened to stop both parties.

Leaving their fathers discussing Jon's power, Robin took Superboy to show his pets and his never-ending remarks towards the latter about accidentally incinerating his cat. This made Jon lose his temper and he got into a fight with Damian over this almost immediately by landing a punch to his gut.

When Alfred Pennyworth came to stop the boys, Robin ducked and Superboy accidentally froze the butler with his newly developed arctic breath. Because of their constant reckless behavior, both Damian and Jon are sent to Batman's boot camp.

The whole idea behind this boot camp was to discipline them and the plan was to make them go through a series of obstacles to teach them just that. However, the boys did get out of those challenges individually but not as a team, which disappoints The Dark Knight.

Upon finding their gear, Robin declares this is a game as Nobody sneak attacks on them from behind. After getting past Maya, Damian is faced by Goliath on a train while Jon rushes to his aid. Finally, the boys managed to work together and work things out seeing their fathers in trouble; not knowing of it was a ruse.

Kid Amazo
To recruit Superboy for an investigation he's been working on for some time, Damian shows up at Jon's school in the guise of bus driver and stuck around some more as his substitute teacher. That night, these two goes out looking for clues at Lexcorp but the sudden arrival of Lex Luthor complicates things for them.

By dropping Superboy off for Lex to catch as he cannot fly, Robin manages to identify one Reggie Meyer from copied security footage in the mean time, one of the very few who still retains his powers and was exposed to Amazo Virus.

With frequent use of his power, Reggie goes totally nuts and starts calling himself Kid Amazo. He even steals the Amazo Armor from Lexcorp and keeps replicating himself with a plan to take down the Justice League. Damian and Jon find his technopath sister Sara who confirms of her brother's irrational actions.

However, they were attacked by synthezoid versions of their fathers followed by dozens of doppelganger of themselves during her rescue. The Super Sons are overwhelmed by the duplicates and got captured but in the end, are both saved by Damian's back-up plans before being grounded by Alfred and Lois back at home.

Black Dawn
Batman and Robin paid a surprise visit to Kent Farm one night to inform Clark of their analysis on Superboy's DNA, which suggest that he should be at his peak as his molecular transformation is completed. The Dark Knight then visits the neighboring Cobb Family Dairy Farm to get a sample of their cow's milk but never returns back.

Robin, Superboy and Superman go looking for him next morning to no avail. When big blue goes away to continue his search, Damian is subdued with psychic powers by Jon's neighbor, Kathy Branden before she took Jon with her.

Turns out, an arch-nemesis of his father, Manchester Black has returned in town and he's been keeping Jon from accessing his full power. Kathy and her grandfather were survivors from an alien race that Black recruited earlier to do his bidding. Batman, Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Bride, Robin and many others were captured by them.

After emotionally manipulated by certain events Jon is controlled by the powerful telepath to fight his father using all of his powers. With a little help from his friend Kathy, Jon successfully defeated Black with the cost of his powers in a psychic feedback.

One of the best things happened following the post-DC Rebirth event is the brand-new team up of the Super Sons; Robin and Superboy, which has become official. Damian Wayne has been operating as Robin for quite some time even before Jonathan Kent and his parents came to Prime Earth of DC Universe.

On the other hand, the concept of Jonathan Kent was conceived by Dan Jurgens (Metamorpho – Year One, Superman/Doomsday – Hunter/Prey) and artist Lee Weeks (Hulk Smash Avengers, Superman – Lois & Clark) during "Convergence".

The World’s Smallest

Not only have these two boys had a lot to achieve yet, from the very beginning of DC Rebirth, writers has been suggesting that the new Superboy is going to become stronger than his father. When that happens, we are pretty sure that there will be consequences and a lot of potential for some great stories.

Jon also showing promises to be worthy of the title of Superboy, since Kon-El is not out there to claim the name. Besides, it is always fun to see the boys constantly bantering with each other and how their super-dads wonder if they will ever get along.

He had given up his Clark Kent persona into a firefighter of Metropolis, "Johnny Clark" due to his accidental revelation of identity. Johnny Clark would continue on his own but Batman helped him out to resurrect the “Clark Kent” persona again for him.

He and reporter Lois Lane may have cross paths and will not come in same terms with each other but they both have a respect for each other. He also has Superboy; a clone of himself and his cousin from Krypton; Supergirl at his side in many adventures in time to time as well. With them at his side as well as the Justice League, Superman was successful in halting H’El’s plan to destroy Earth (H'El on Earth) and nearly killing Superboy.

He battles villains like Darkseid, Biomass, Vyndktvx, Lex Luthor, Helspont and a deadly infection of the ultimate Kryptonian killing machine Doomsday (Superman – Doomed) while playing his role as reporter Clark as well. Then he met another super-power being Ulysses (The Men of Tomorrow) from Dimension Four.

"Infinite Crisis" is a major crossover comic-book event from DC Comics that took place in 2005 and is a follow up to 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths. This event was plotted by writer Geoff Johns (Blackest Night, Brightest Day) along with some of industry's talented artists like Phil Jimenez, George Pérez (Final Crisis – Legion of 3 Worlds, Infinity Gauntlet) and Ivan Reis (Green Lantern, Sinestro Corps War). The core plot was formed with a seven issue limited series following "Countdown to Infinite Crisis" limited series. Artist extraordinaire Jim Lee (All-Star Batman and Robin, Superman Unchained) draws the seven alternate covers of the limited series for this comic event. Infinite Crisis brought major historical change to DC's timeline and later it led to the "Final Crisis" event which was the main reason for all the Crisis themed events.
