Cause Pa Kent’s wisdom still overrides Jor-El’s “muh science” and he’s fine with say, John Henry being Steel and being his bro……. but he’s never gonna lead the League or be on the pedestal of Superman. It’s the same reason when Wally invites Clark to League DnD, Pa Kent’s wisdom kicks in and suddenly Clark is ten years old asking to go play DnD with Lex
“IT’S DEMONIC CLARK, NO SON OF MINE NO MATTER HOW STRONG IS SUMMONING HELLSPAWN.”
He just awkwardly tells Wally no and flies away.
Afterwards, a series of very funny chats occur with Zatanna, Dr. Fate, Zauriel, Constantine, and Shazam about the chances of DnD actually causing something like that.
Zee is a pal and says "unlikely". Fate turns full creepy Nabu stare and just says "no. . ."
Zauriel asks what's a DnD and then laughs.
Constantine messes with Supes, but then admits that the chances aren't zero, but unlikely.
The Wizard Shazam is about to say "yes" but Captain Marvel's wisdom of solomon says "unlikely"
Spectre looks at him and gives a definitive answer that the readers never see.
Pa Kent probably approves of Steel after they talk about tools for 6 hours. I can just see both of them just sitting in that fucking barn while Steel admires a set of century old tools. Pa Kent accidentally slips up with "boy" and Steel just laughs and says the family of the greatest hero on Earth can call him a nigger any day. .
Clark undoubtedly has a gay gun, he just hasn’t figured out how to make a straight gun, it’s his new version of Kandor, a problem he can’t solve. The gay gun was made when Bruce made a crack at Jon and Clark laughed it off but seethed for months and shot Tim with it. You know Silver Age Supes would do that.
The idea of Clark keeping Chris in one of the Fortress’s cells just to collect blood is honestly the best ending for the little guy.
He keeps Batman in line by threatening to use it on the Joker.
Tim got clipped by it after a party in the Fortress of Solitude gone wrong. Bruce has been trying to find a cure. There's emails in the superhero circle about finding the "cure" for the "gay" and it's not what people think it is. Amanda Waller finds out and uses it to blackmail the superheroes.
