warning! Batman/Superman revealed before #11! How well Superman protects the Earth is that he is actually inferior to Batman in protecting his family and the children in his care. While Batman was rightly criticized for the deaths of Robbins Jason Todd and Damian Wayne, Superman did not receive the same scrutiny because of the injuries his young allies suffered.
Readers get to witness the miserable plight of Superman’s newest lost child Batman/Superman #11 Mark Wade and Dan Mora. Recently, Superman almost received a new companion from another dimension named Thunder Boy. Boy Thunder has the ability to project energy and is very powerful, but he is also untrained and traumatized by his past. Like Superman, Thunderboy was sent off by his parents from a dying planet and he felt extremely guilty for not being able to save them. Unfortunately, Boy Thunder accidentally let villain The Key know he was from another dimension, which set off a chain of events that resulted in Boy Thunder being dragged into another dimension while Superman watched helplessly. With this traumatic loss, Kid Thunder has truly become Superman’s own Red Hood. However, he’s not the only young sub-superhero lost.
Superman lost three kids
Over the years, Superman has had as many adopted and biological children as Batman. The first Prime Universe child Clark gave birth to was Lozod, also known as Chris Kent, who was officially adopted by Clark. The second child is Jon Kent, his only biological child. His third and fourth are Osul-Ra and Otho-Ra, and the latest is Boy Thunder. Although Superman never directly considers Boy Thunder as his son, he does so most of the time in the comics, implying that he considers the boy as his own son. He sheltered Boy Thunder under his protection and was supposed to take care of him. While Batman’s crime-fighting crusade resulted in the deaths of Jason Todd and Damian, Superman has an even worse track record when it comes to keeping kids safe.
When Batman lost Jason Todd to the Joker, nearly every superhero in DC Comics called for him. Bruce has been criticized for endangering children by putting them in fire, and even members of his Batman family, such as Alfred and Barbara Gordon, have called Batman. Knights of Gotham #44 Scott Beatty and Roger Robinson said that if Batman brought another kid into the fight, Alfred would give up on the spot. But it seems that being a Superboy is just as damned, if not worse, than Robin. The two Robins lost by Batman were eventually brought back to life, but Superman lost his three children. Chris Kent is pulled back into the Ghost Zone and Superman can’t stop it; Jon Kent is allowed to go into space, but because of Superman’s improper upbringing, he ends up being tortured by Ultraman; and now Thunderboy has been dragged into an extra-dimensional space, and Superman is completely unable to save him. While this trend goes back decades, both in space and in outer space, no one calls Superman the same as Batman in this respect.
Superman is one of the most powerful beings on Earth and it’s his duty to protect everyone he can, but despite that, Superman seems completely unable to protect his children from dangers. of the world.
