Warning ! plunderer out front forSuperman : Son of Kal - El # 9
While Jon Kent’sSupermanmay be struggling to fill his dad ’s shoes , he ’s just learned he ’s not the only hoagie who ’s ever experience this way thanks toNightwingand his own similar experience . During their current squad - up , Dick Grayson has become Jon ’s official superhero wise man , and there ’s no one well the novel Man of Steel could have instead . While they have a sight in common , the biggest affair is their shared feelings about becoming their fathers given the time of year of time Nightwing spent as Batman ’s successor .
When Bruce Wayne was believed to have been obliterate by Darkseid duringFinal Crisis , Dick Grayson eventually took over as the new Batman withBruce ’s son Damian becoming Robin . As a result , the two of them were DC ’s new Dynamic Duo for about two eld before Bruce Wayne render , allowing Dick to eventually summarise his role as Nightwing with DC’sNew 52reboot . Now , late comics have seen Jon Kent in a standardized place where he ’s take over his father ’s role with Clark Kent having left Earth indefinitely .

InSuperman : Son of Kal - El # 9from Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo , Superman and Nightwing have teamed up to investigate The Rising , a develop army of governable metahumans under the bid of corrupt Gamorran President Henry Bendix . In the face of this threat , Jon has also been fight on a personal level , feel as though he ca n’t measure up or adequately live up to the role his father left for him . However , this is exactly what makes Nightwing such a perfect mentor for Jon with the reveal thathis own experience as Batman was the same , experience as though he had n’t earned or belong to in the role of the Dark Knight . As such , Dick apply the raw Man of Steel some great advice for how to positively reconcile those feelings .
Rather than focusing so much on strain to perfectly emulate the original Superman , Dick ’s recommendation is for Jon to be his own zep . It in truth seems like the dear course of military action , and it ’s sure as shooting something Grayson has accept to spirit himself even after he went back to being Nightwing . Being just like Batman ( or in Jon ’s case Superman ) is n’t the way to go . Having his own style and methods as a champion is far honest . That uniqueness is a huge cause why Nightwing has become just as popular as the Dark Knight himself .
Jon Kent ’s Superman has already display some new methodslike being more proactive in man social function than Clark was , and Nightwing ’s advice will hopefully promote him further . It ’s proficient for Jon to take the air his own way rather than occupy so much about being on the button the same form of superhero his dad was . While there ’s still more ofNightwingand the newSuperman’scurrent team - up to come , it ’s readable that the New iteration of the World ’s Finest needs to have many more partnerships beyond this now . They could even star in their own series together just like the original Batman and Man of Steel have had from DC Comics .
