Right now, the comics of DC they are making their way in directions few expected and that represent a greater openness in the midst of ‘sequential art’. Just as we reported Robin’s story as an LGBT + character, we can also point to Superman.
Now, you have to be clear and very specific with this story, as it is a detail that must be explained. Right now there is a comic called Superman: Son of Kal-El. This cartoon focuses on the son of the marriage of Clark and Lois, Jonathan Kent.
If you happen to be watching the series HBO Max, you know what Superman He has 2 children and one of them is named Jonathan in honor of his earthly father. To that he adds that his son has powers and, apparently, they are greater than those of the last son of Krypton because his mother is from Earth.
Likewise, the story of Superman: Son of Kal-El poses a story where ‘Sups’ is on a mission in space from which he will not return for a long time and Jonathan Kent stop being Superboy to transform into what we know the new version of ‘The man of tomorrow’.

In this Superman story, Jonathan Ken is the one who is openly bisexual
As we mentioned it to you, Clark Kent He’s on a mission and he can’t be seen to be back for a while. Jonathan Ken is currently 17 years old and the only difference from his father’s outfit is that his suit has red color on his shoulders. To continue defending the Earth, stop – for a while – being Superboy And now it’s Superman
From number 3 of the comic Superman: Son of Kal-El it shows that Jonathan has something with his friend Jay and in the issue to be published on November 9, readers will see how the son of the last son of Krypton She kisses him and thus confirms the love affair and, incidentally, that she is now openly bisexual.
At the moment, there are no further details about this new editorial direction for the character. Technically Jonathan Kent he will have to put on his father’s boots to face the threats that are on earth and it is clear that it will not be an easy path.
On the other hand, this is not the first DC story that takes this direction, remember that Tim Drake, one of the many iterations of the ‘Wonder Boy’, is now gay, in addition to the treatment of his character has been very careful.
It remains to be seen what will happen to Aqualad, but that is another story.
