So does he shout "Transmute!" or "Bird ON!" as the wings pop out. (And I wonder who will be the first to remember where those terms came from)



Y'know, I think I like that look without the strap'n'crap of the full costume... Just throw in a utility belt and the R symbol and I could learn to like it a lot, alas, we're not going down that road...

But who is this?



Dramatic, if nothing else. Interesting that she now seems to have a transformation effect, does she slam her gauntlets together like Rick Jones/Mar-vell (or indeed, the Masterforce Headmaster Jr.'s ) or might she have some sort of illusion ability in her arsenal now?

And apparently the "Four Robin's in five years" won't actually the case (Sorry, but Steph as Robin is still out of continuity), as Batman and Robin(s) will have been operating covertly in Gotham for some years before Superman becomes the first superhuman to "go public" five years ago.

I'm thinking we're going to have something similar to the Young Justice cartoon, where instead of meeting this isolated clone Superboy for the first time, Tim, Cassie, and Bart are having to deal with a traumatized, possibly mind-controlled Conner.

That is a nie theory, but the thing is this whole superboy going evil plot is something that actually has been hinted at in the recent Superboy issues. Not only with him being part luthor dna,but in thay dream sequence where conner and his friend valentine basically destroy the world. Maybe I am giving them to much credit, but if they really wanted to use that SB goes evil plot in a big way this would be the time.

I don't think it's that crazy--as I recall, Lobdell has said that he first wrote his first issue like it could have easily been "Teen Titans #101," but his editors gave him permission to go a little crazy if he wanted. So, maybe he did look at where things were going for Conner and decided to go that route.

Or maybe it was just blind luck.

I call shenanigans on the whole 'nothing's changed' about Conner bit. The hinting about future evil wasn't Conner, but Simon, as revealed in the most recent issue, and how can Conner's series be in continuity if the Kents died before Clark became Superman? Who's Conner living with? Granny Goodness and a Dog of War? (Though, come to think of it, that might be a cool twist.)

[darkknightjrk]

True, that would be a difference, but I think what they mean is that the fact that there was a Kon El/Conner Kent, who had a relationship with Cassie, Tim, and Bart, is still intact, but something's happened to him to make that relationship more complicated.

Kon lived by himself for a good long time before Supes decided that it was okay that Kon even knew about the Kents, much less that it was okay for him to live with them. Heck, he ran his own apartment complex for awhile. He should be fine.

actually, Lobdell stated that Superboy would be a villain because he has had his memory wiped.
