EDIT: At the time of this writing I didn’t know they weren’t twins. I think the sister is older, but that just proves the point that nobody is talking about them. I’m writing this on 4/5/2024 and I still never see them mentioned. DC is not promoting them well. My other points still stand.

When I did this comic I had just stumbled upon images on Twitter. I thought this was some new revelation.

And yet there were no news stories on yet more Superkids. Going through the thread I found this.

It’s still telling though that going further through the thread so many people were asking that question. This may sound like a statement Eric “YoungRippa59” July would make but “DC” has stood for “Dead Continuity” for me since Future State if not sooner with Brian Michael Bendis re-eliminating the secret identity. However, as Superman is my favorite superhero and watching him being slowly destroyed by the comic company that once cheered him on every new story on how they’re screwing Kal-El and his cast hurts, starting with dropping the secret identity…TWICE IN THIS CONTINUITY…and aging up young Jon Kent so we don’t get to see Superman raise the next generation of Superman. It makes me sad. There is so much potential lost here, but DiDio’s Darker DC had to undo all the repair work of “Rebirth”, the last vestige of what drew me to DC Comics over Marvel so many decades ago.

So now we have Super TWINS, not Clark and Lois’s biological children…and given Lois’ track record of surviving pregnancy between Armageddon 2001 and the Injustice timeline it’s probably better for her we don’t see her pregnant, interesting as it would be to see her character go through and still be the Lois we love. However, I can’t gloss over this change because it represents what I was saying in that comic. DC Comics doesn’t understand why fans of young Jon want him back, and I’m not convinced they are even going to use the Super Twins as a proper replacement given their recent history.
