In 2021, DC doubled down on pushing its legacy characters a lot harder than it had since the start of the New 52 in 2011. Among the new crop of heroes, only three received a solo ongoing series. Jon Kent AKA Superman, Jace Fox AKA Batman, and Yara Flor AKA Wonder Girl were meant to be the new, and definitive, Legacy Trinity.Over the course of 2021, DC launched Superman: Son of Kal-El by Tom Taylor and John Timms, I Am Batman by John Ridley and Oliver Coipel, and Wonder Girl by Joëlle Jones. None of these books would last past issue #18. In 2023, none of these characters has the all-star status that DC hoped for but each member of this trinity has their own meta-narrative of highs and lows and a unique reason why readers as a whole didn’t take to them.Jon Kent isn’t exactly one of DC Comics’ greatest failures but everything is relative. When Jon Kent first debuted in 2015, he was the 10-year-old son of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, equal parts adorable and cool, and an instant fan-favorite. He quickly received a starring role in both Rebirth Superman and Rebirth Action Comics, as well as a leading role in Super Sons, which teamed him up with Batman’s son, Damian Wayne. The dynamic between Jon and Damian, and the silly, but heartfelt adventures he shared with Damian helped skyrocket his popularity even further.Related: DC Needs More Legacy Characters Like Jaime Reyes’ Blue Beetle
