The New Superman Gets Perfect 'Revenge' Against The Team That Rejected Him
Spoiler warning for Dark Crisis #2
Years after the Teen Titans rejected DC's new Superman from membership, Superman finally gets his revenge—even if it is unintentional.

Before he was Superman, the ten-year-old Superboy starred—along with Damian Wayne as Robin—in Super Sons, a beloved 2017 series that began shortly after the beginning of DC's Rebirth era.

Tomasi, Tyler Kirkham, Tomeu Morey, and Rob Leigh, Robin nominated Superboy to be a part-time member of the Teen Titans, to be promoted to full-time once he reached thirteen. Jon was eager to join them, but the team denied him membership.
