What do you call a team-up between the sons of DC's two most iconic superheroes?.World's Smallest? The Boy Wonder and the Boy of Steel? How about...The Super Sons!Super Sons is a monthly comic series that began on February 15th, 2017 after months of delays and author changes. Written by Peter Tomasi, the brains behind Batman and Robin, and initially drawn by rising artist Jorge Jimenez, the comic stars Batman's youngest son Damian Wayne and Superman's son and the newest Superboy, Jonathan Kent. While their dads are off superheroing, the pair of "frenemies" will face harrowing perils of their own and might just save the day... if they don't kill each other first.The series was announced to be cancelled in May 2018 solicitations, with the final issue being released in that month. However, Tomasi revealed that a 12-issue maxi-series, entitled Adventures of the Super Sons, would be launched in August, continuing the adventures of the sons. Adventures was followed by the digital-first series Challenge of the Super Sons, which debuted in December 2020.An animated movie based off of this comic series, Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons, was announced at DC FanDome 2021.

The Call Knows Where You Live: A less than lethal example in that Damian sneaks into Jon's bedroom to talk to him just as the latter is about to head to bed.

Hero Antagonist: Lex Luthor, surprisingly enough, due to his attempts to apprehend the pair being perfectly justified as they 1) Refused to identify themselves. 2) Were breaking into his personal property. 3) Were compromising his company's internal systems. It helps that he underwent a Heel–Face Turn in previous comics.

 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_1705698
comment
Afraid of Their Own Strength: After using a Super Flare for the first time out of panic in Super Sons #11, Jon is stricken with grief and becomes terrified of the prospect that he could kill millions of innocent people if it happens again and begins thinking of isolating himself to prevent such an event from coming to pass. Thankfully, Damian talks him out of this for the most part.

Gone Horribly Wrong
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_19df659c
comment
Gone Horribly Wrong: Tim Drake, the Batman of Tomorrow, created a black slime to restrain Jon to dispose of him later. What he didn't account for was the fact that Jon is a ten-year old who is likely to panic when a black slime of unknown origin is seeping into his eyes, ears, and mouth after being told that he must die lest he cause millions of deaths in the future. His heat vision then bursts through the slime as Jon loses control of his solar energy levels, leading to a Super Flare like the one Tim saw in the future that takes a huge chunk of Titans Tower (while Future Tim is inside it) even after Jon tries to limit collateral damage by flying out of its vicinity.

Underestimating Badassery
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_1a8dc238
comment
Underestimating Badassery: Both Jon and Damian are on the receiving ends of this trope due to their young age and Damian's lack of powers. One standout example is Issue #14, when Jon gets dog-piled by a bunch of assassins, prompting a nearby Gothamite, who thought he was simply a little boy in a costume, to try and help him before the assassins turned on her. Cut to Jon catching the sword, snapping it in half with little effort, and delivering a Curb-Stomp Battle to the remaining assassins.

Conditioned to Accept Horror: As mentioned below, the fact that Damian is accustomed to scenes of murder while the younger, more innocent Jon isn't (and is therefore horrified at the sight) is a major point of contention between the two.

Fire-Forged Friends
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_2493b31d
comment
Fire-Forged Friends: Jon and Damian practically hate each other when they first met back in Superman #10, with Damian kidnapping and sedating Jon out of spite when Jon accidentally killed a red-tailed hawk and a cat with his Heat Vision. In the second issue, Damian outright says that he brought Jon along as a distraction for Lex Luthor instead of an actual crime-fighting partner, seeing the younger boy as a tool. But they warm up to each other as time goes on, with their vitriolic banter evolving into more playful dialogue as they begin to understand each other's quirks. By the twelfth issue, they're fully committed to being friends and crime-fighting partners even when outside forces try to drive them apart.

Headbutting Heroes
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_25dffed2
comment
Headbutting Heroes: In the initial arc, "When I Grow Up..." Unlike the comics starring their fathers, Jon and Damian can not get along. Jon is an innocent, inexperienced, good little kid who would rather not get into trouble with his loving parents, while Damian is a brilliant, manipulative, cruel punk who keeps charging into danger to prove that he's superior to his father. They could be an effective fighting force, except for the fact that 90% of their relationship is petty arguments, and the other 10% is them doing their own thing without including the other in the plan. This simmering conflict explodes into open fighting during the final issue of the arc, where Jon and Damian take out their mutual frustrations on each other in a showdown. Eventually it cools off, and Alfred remarks that their fighting each other-to-friends relationship isn't so different from that of their fathers. Character Development seems to be moving them past this, although Damian is showing signs of being a non-romantic Tsundere in denial of their budding friendship.

Mythology Gag
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Being a spinoff starring two Legacy Characters, this was inevitable. Jon's relationship with the local bullies' spitballs is much like his father's relationship with bullets. On the same note, Jon's Bully Hunter moment is a call back to his father's personality during the Golden Age as a Wife-Basher Basher. Issue #10 sets up Damian and Jon attending the West-Reeve School. In Issue #14, Jon proudly declares that he's "faster than a speeding bullet", a reference to the classic Superman cartoon tagline, "Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!"

Iron Butt Monkey: Damian rarely hesitates to use Jon as a distraction or human shield (including, but not limited to, throwing him off of a skyscraper before he learned how to fly) because his half-Kryptonian biology makes him liable to survive most perils.

Character Development: Jon becomes much more confident in himself as the series goes on, going from worrying about getting in trouble with his parents to snarking and taunting assassins to try and attack him. Damian in turn softens as the two start to get along, going so far as to defy the other Titans in order to keep Jon safe and generally toning down the vitriol on their conversations.

Conflict Ball: In Teen Titans #15, the Titans sans Damian argue about what to do with Jon's potentially lethal Super Flare. Raven and Beast Boy want to follow Savior's lead and hunt down Jon in order to strip him of his powers or otherwise neutralize him. They also have knowledge of the fact that Jon only lost control because he was being pushed to the emotional brink by the guy they want to help. That same guy also admitted to their faces that he's hellbent on murdering Jon and is fully willing to do the same to the Titans if they get in his way. Starfire, Aqualad, and Kid Flash want to find Jon first in order to protect him from them.

Sibling Team: Kid Amazo was once this with his siblings (and his parents), but his bad relationship with them led him to mistake Jon and Damian for one, which both boys quickly refute. It later becomes a Running Gag in the series, with Jon being mistaken for Damian's older brother simply because they have the same hair color and the fact that Jon is taller.

Power Incontinence: Jon's is particularly pronounced as he can't break out of ordinary metal chains despite tearing Kid Amazo's duplicates in half only a few hours earlier. He's mostly gotten over it by the tenth issue though. But falls right back into this trope when Future Tim Drake continues to push Jon to the emotional brink, losing control of his stored solar energy.

Kids Are Cruel
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_63389b0b
comment
Kids Are Cruel: There's of course, Damian and his hellraising approach to crime-fighting and investigation. On a more sinister note, Kid Amazo, who murders his whole family in cold blood. Though it's later revealed that these were robotic duplicates and that he's been doing this in front of them for weeks. Jon, being the son of Superman, is obviously an aversion, being an incredibly sweet, naive, and sympathetic young boy.

A battle with Dex-Starr of the Red Lantern Corps leads to the death of Clay Critter, which Streaky blamed Krypto for. A group of dog kidnappings convinces Krypto and Titus to start Putting the Band Back Together.

Babies Ever After: The ending of Issue #16 reveals that the boy's adventures are being narrated by an old man with bright blue eyes referred to as "Pop-Pop" by a boy who heavily resembles Damian and a girl who is floating off the ground. At the end of the "Intergalactic Showdown" arc, the old man is revealed to be Jon Kent, with an elderly Damian "helping" to keep the facts straight. However, with the arc being a massive Mind Screw and deliberate Continuity Snarl, it's not clear if Jon and Damian are the real ones or the grown-up versions created by the Hyper Cube's malfunctioning AI.

Covers Always Lie

Covers Always Lie: Issue 2 suggests Jon and Damian are going to fight Lex Luthor and his robotic minions. They don't throw any punches at Luthor and they promptly flee from him once they get what they want. The third issue is the first one in the series to accurately depict what happens in the comic book, and even then it's a stretch as they're fighting robot duplicates of their dads rather than the real thing. A version◊ of issue four's cover has Damian and Jon in Amazo suits. At no point does this happen in-story. Issue #6's cover features Jon making a Dynamic Entry as part of Damian introducing him to the Titans. The most he gets in terms of acknowledgement in the actual issue is being called "Superkid" and "Robin's assistant" by Beast Boy and Robin's "friend" by Starfire before getting sent home. Issue #14's cover shows Damian standing beside Talia over Jon's body, implying that Damian is brought back under Talia's influence and has killed or at least pretended to kill his friend to prove his loyalty. The story itself shows that Damian completely rejects Talia's attempts at winning him back to her side and gets angry at the notion that Jon will eventually die at his hands.

comment
Bullying a Dragon: The strength difference between the two young heroes is clearly shown whenever Jon is pushed too far, with the latter lifting Damian by the collar and shoving him to the side like a ragdoll in the same issue. In the finale of Super Sons of Tomorrow, Jon casually knocks out Damian with a single punch at Starfire's suggestion. The League of Assassins is also happy to pick a fight with Jon... who is invulnerable to all of their weapons, can fly, and can knock any of them out with one punch, only lasting a little while by dog-piling him all at once. You can guess how well the rest of the fight went for them.

Breather Episode
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_80a247a9
comment
Breather Episode: Jon and Damian going around Metropolis stopping small-time crooks, getting cats out of trees, and replacing tires is a quick break from the drama preceding Issue #6 and the action that immediately follows it. Issue #10 is another one of these, consisting almost entirely of Jon and Damian hanging out together, Jon getting the hang of his newfound strength, speed, and flight from the Black Dawn arc, getting a new base, and the reveal that the two of them will be going to school together. Aside from the intermezzo which features a future version of Damian rising from the flaming ruins of Gotham, it's probably the sappiest issue yet. Annual #1 is this in every sense of the word. Other than the first few and the last few pages, Jon and Damian aren't even in the issue. Instead, the bulk of the issue is one gigantic loving Shout-Out to the Silver Age, as we see Krypto and Titus the Bat-Hound team up with Flexi the Plastic Bird, Streaky the Super-Cat and Bat-Cow to take down a pet kidnapper. Who's an alien. And they even meet up with Detective. Freakin.' Chimp.

Evil Counterpart: Issue #8 reveals that the Kraklow of Eoroe was a well-known hero who worked wonders with his clay magic. This is a stark contrast to the Kraklow of the boys' world, a miserly old man desperate for attention and was willing to murder teenage heroes to get it and finally be acknowledged. Savior, an alternate future version of Tim Drake, is a Well-Intentioned Extremist who believes that the future is set in stone unless he kills off people in the past. In this case, he's after Jon for causing millions of deaths in the future with his Super Flare. Surprisingly enough subverted with Savior's allies, future versions of Connor Kent, Cassandra Sandsmark, and Bart Allen from the fascist Titans Tomorrow timeline, who quickly put aside their differences with the current Titans in order to save Jon's life.

Continuity Nod: Tons to other stories the duo have starred in as well as other stories for context. Lex Luthor confronts the boys in the same Super Armor he took up after the death of the New 52 Superman. Jon and Damian make multiple references to the Teen Titans, with Jon complaining that he wasn't invited to join. The Amazo Virus resurfaces as the reason for Kid Amazo's powers. The fact that Jon still can't fly despite being around for over a year along with the ending of Superman: Lois and Clark is gleefully lampshaded by Damian. Damian's mom and his past as the prince of the League of Assassins is mentioned in passing when Jon confronts Damian at school. This gets brought up again in Issue #13 when Damian's mom shows up to make him an assassin again. Damian reminisces about the time he had powers like Jon's while on the back of a pickup truck in Issue #10.

Adults Are Useless: Subverted. Both of the boys know that their dads are more experienced and are generally able to take on threats that they can't. But the two would like to avoid having to ask them for help in order to gain more crime-fighting experience and prove their own merits. Future Tim's knowledge of this leads him to shoot Batman and incapacitate Superman with Red Kryptonite in order to keep them from interfering with his plan to assassinate Jon.

Big Brother Mentor: Damian is trying to play this for Jon, giving him a lot of advice and occasionally even praising him when he thinks he's come up with a particuarly good idea. Jon is not having it.

Brains and Brawn: Most of the time, Damian is the Brains to Jon's Brawn, being the well-read and experienced Badass Normal to Jon's inexperienced Flying Brick Lightning Bruiser. But sometimes Jon proves to be the more level-headed and reasonable of the two, with Damian's recklessness and Control Freak tendencies leading him to "punch first and ask questions later" even when there's a simpler and less violent approach available.

Mistaken for Related: Kid Amazo sees how much Jon and Damian bicker and assume they must be a Sibling Team given Kid Amazo's own animosity with his own family. Jon and Damian quickly deny this, but it becomes a Running Gag that Jon is mistaken for Damian's older brother due to being taller than him and sharing his hair color despite Jon being younger than Damian.

Anti-Hero: Damian full-stop in the first few issues. While he is manipulating a younger, inexperienced superhero (to the point of dropping Jon off a building to distract Luthor) and is conducting his investigation for less than altruistic motives (mainly proving himself in the eyes of his father and out of spite for being left behind on patrol), he is investigating a murder that's leading to a much larger plot. He softens up over the course of the series, with his less heroic traits being played for laughs.

Good Cop/Bad Cop: Our heroes demonstrate this kind of relationship in Issue #6, with Damian haranguing a man walking his dog for jaywalking, calling it the first step towards becoming a petty crook. After letting Damian rant for a bit, Jon shoves him aside and tells the confused man to simply cross at the corners and be mindful of his dog. In the following issue, Damian name drops this dynamic with Raven, declaring her to be the good cop before he begins to terrorize Time Commander into surrendering.

Aesop Amnesia: The story tends to hit a reset button on Jon's and Damian's relationship whenever there needs to be conflict. Hence Damian can start warming up to Jon in one issue and go right back to being antagonistic and aloof in the next. This is most evident in #10 and #11, where the two are hanging out and testing the limits of Jon's powers in the former, and then have Damian lie to Jon about going on a mission with the Teen Titans for a grand total of three months without contact despite sharing a secret base and going to school together.

Shout-Out
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Two of the posters in Jon's room feature characters who heavily resemble Naruto and Goku, with the Japanese-style influences showing up in Jon's expressions and Damian's Anime Hair. Issue 3 references Toddler Titans, the derogatory nickname given to Teen Titans Go!. After Damian is revealed to have been reduced to an old man by the Time Commander, the next issue is titled Old Man Robin. The second story arc is called "Planet of the Capes". "Cape Shall Not Kill Cape." Readers have compared the thumbs up and beaming smile Jon gave to a child he saved in Issue #8 to Naruto's own inspirational thumbs ups. Compare that to this.◊ note The artist, Jorge Jimenez, is a noted fan of Naruto, so the similarity can't be a coincidence.

Continuity Snarl: Alfred and Lois find out about the boys' encounter with Kid Amazo not long before they get home and thus punish them for it. But in Superman #20, Jon asks Damian if his mom found out about the incident. Superman is also at the point where Jon has fully discovered his ability to fly. Within this comic, Jon is still just leaping tall buildings in a single bound. Oddly, both series are written by Peter Tomasi. Corrected by Issue #7, which shows Jon flying along with Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven, but once again gone by the next issue, since he's seen leaping around. Finally permanent by Issue #10.

Murder Is the Best Solution
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_f6b30338
comment
Murder Is the Best Solution: The opinion of Future Tim, who now goes by "Savior". By killing Jon, he'll save million of lives in the future, and he refuses to provide or look for any non-lethal alternatives. According to the other future heroes, the time travel is implied to be screwing with Tim's mind, making him believe this trope to be the case.

Insult Backfire: Jon gives one to Damian out of frustration.

Dude, Where's My Respect?
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_f818b637
comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Damian is frequently mocked for his lack of powers by friend and foe alike even when these people have knowledge of what he's capable of. In some cases, people who really should know who he is (like Lex Luthor) simply can't believe that he's actually Robin. Jon is also prone to this trope courtesy of Damian, who refuses to allow Jon onto the Teen Titans on account of Jon's age even though the young Superboy has repeatedly proven his mettle and is arguably more powerful than the entire team combined. On the other hand, the Titans themselves wholeheartedly respect and appreciate Jon's abilities, which adds more fuel to the fire when the boys butt heads. The events of Super Sons of Tomorrow ends up flipping their opinions, with Damian wholeheartedly advocating for Jon to be at least made a part-time member, but the rest of the Titans are too shaken and worried about their own teamwork to allow him to join.

Running Gag
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Damian is short. And he doesn't like that he's short. People keep confusing Jon and Damian for brothers. Primarily Jon as the older one. Damian refuses to give Jon top billing. So when they're announcing themselves, he always says "Robin" in big comic book title text first, while calling out "Superboy" second and sometimes in normal comic book text.

Well-Intentioned Extremist

comment
Savior, an alternate future version of Tim Drake, is a Well-Intentioned Extremist who believes that the future is set in stone unless he kills off people in the past. In this case, he's after Jon for causing millions of deaths in the future with his Super Flare.

Brick Joke: One in reverse: Damian refuses to take the easy route and simply piggy-back on Jon when they need to go somewhere. Chronologically later, we see Damian doing exactly this in the Batman Cold Open. Lampshaded in this fan comic.◊

Dark and Troubled Past
 Super Sons (Comic Book) / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Damian's is alluded to as early as the first issue when he offhandedly mentions that his mother killed his geology teacher and dumped the body into the ocean. It's also the focus of the "Mother's Day" arc, when Talia comes to bring her son back into the fold as Damian tries to preserve his friendship with Jon by continually downplaying and distancing himself the atrocities he committed as the prince of the League of Assassins while trying to stop Talia from doing more damage.
