Asombrosoo💗 adoro tanto a Damian y JonđŸ„ș. Son dos kiddos tan inmaduros pero a la vez tan preciosos, aĂșn siguen explorando sus habilidades y es maravilloso como Ă©ste es el inicio para Ă©ste bonito equipo de dos.

Damian es sĂșper egocĂ©ntrico pero no me sorprende ni un poco, siempre ha sido asĂ­ y asĂ­ lo amo. JamĂĄs habĂ­a explorado nada sobre Jonathan y me ha dado tanta ternura, Ă©l aĂșn tiene mucho que aprender y espero que Damian lo ayude con eso.

La historia inicia muy bien, me encantan ambos y me encanta que Batman y Superman aparezcan, amo verlos siendo padres. Espero con el tiempo Robin y Superboy demuestren de lo que son capaces, los adoro muchoooo.

Me encantarĂ­a darle mĂĄs ⭐ pero detestĂ© tanto al villano, me pareciĂł tan uggh, pudieron haberles dado algo mejorđŸ„ș.

I’ve always liked DC in Comics more than Marvel and I’ve always favorited these comics: Batman (+the batfamily), Supersons and RedHood (but unfortunately the recent red hood comics are terrible and I couldn’t get through with it) so I’m re reading instead of reading new things bc the new comics don’t really click with me.

This one's cute and all, but I think it's meant to be an "all-ages" book. Which means it's appropriate for kids and adults can read it too because, you know, we do whatever we want. We're grown-ups. Eat Starburst Jellybeans to the point I get a stomachache? Even though I KNEW, before I hit the wall, that I was headed for ache-town? Yeah, damn straight.

I think I might be Damian Wayne-ed out. He's not my favorite character, and he's in a lotta books these days.

Also, Superman having a son really brings to light how stupid it is to have a story where Batman has a son. Superman having a son makes total sense, and it makes total sense why he'd sort of have to guide him to the super life. Because he's gonna have powers, so he might as well be responsible, use his freeze breath to stop a giant starfish or whatever. Also, Superman is a total dad type. The big blue boy scout. Batman doesn't really make sense as a dad. It kinda makes sense that Damian got all fucked up from being raised all fucked up, and Batman wants to try and shape him into someone useful. But for being such a badass, Batman is NOT good at teaching a kid to not have such a smarty pants smart mouth.

Summary: Batman is kind of a sucky dad, Superman is a good dad. And I guess that could make things interesting, but it doesn't seem to. It just seems to make Batman having a kid more wacky.

An absolute joy to read. Not once did I feel bored or that either kid was out of character. They’re adorable and seeing Damian interact with a boy his own age is a treat. He’s been surrounded by adults his whole life so this really enforces the idea that he doesn’t really know how to BE a kid.

The artwork is playful and colourful. It’s perfect for the series and hope the artist continues.

A new series I will have to add to my pull list!

Absolutely loved this! Totally biased because I am a huge fan of Damian, but the added addition of super boy was so great. Not to mention those Dustin Nguyen variant covers at the end, I am literally in heaven with this book!

Ba ba ba ba you’re watching treehouse!

Supersons: when I grow up... - during the new 52 the Amazon virus was released (justice league vol 6: injustice league) and a lot of families were infected and got powers but after they all lost them except for 3 percent which brings us to Reggie Meyers who used his powers but his body couldn’t handle it so he went mad i guess And superboy and robin have to save the day.

My thoughts (the good and bad) - I love these two together, I love the insults they throw at each other and how Damian always makes fun of Jon and his dad, I love the art by Jorge Jimenez, Lex Luthor was cool, I loved the fight in the bat cave but my problem was the main antagonist Reggie who I thought was really boring and everytime he’s on a page it’s really boring. Honestly I love Jon and Damian’s dialogue so much I’d watch them for an hour sitting in a coffee shop just talking.

Overall great book.
