Superman: Son of Kal-El #5 is a new comic series telling us the storyline of Jon Kent after succeeding his father, Clark, as Superman.
DC Comics writer Tom Taylor expressed the excitement with the development in a statement, saying “I’ve always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes and I’m very grateful DC and Warner Bros. share this idea.”
Our #Superman comes out.

Clark Kent (the original Superman) still loves Lois (not Louis) Lane. DC comics (not Hollywood) have revealed Clark & Lois’ son Jon (the current Superman) is bisexual (not gay). Current Superman’s love interest isn’t Lois Lane because she is his mother & that would be messed up. https://t.co/erZBdwNuhM

I try not to judge people. But the way some people have reacted to Jon Kent #Superman coming out as bisexual makes me sincerely believe that some people don’t deserve this character.
