According to
GWW (who have a solid track record when it comes to TV scoops), Clark Kent and Lois Lane's baby - who will first appear in
Crisis on Infinite Earths - will be aged up for the planned
Superman & Lois TV series on The CW. While there's no word on how that will happen, it would mean that we'll get to meet Jonathan Kent/Superboy in the show.
According to a casting breakdown, the network is looking to add "Matthew" (that's obviously a codename), a
"14-year old Caucasian boy, who is well on his way to becoming a physical specimen. Matthew is a clean cut, modest and kind-hearted, with an aw-shucks attitude that somehow doesn’t seem dated." Curiously, he's also described as a
"three-sport athlete."
The site also believes that Damian Wayne/Robin is set to appear, and for that hero, they're looking for another 14-year old Caucasian who this time "has a young Leonardo DiCaprio quality and an inherent darkness to him. Ethan is wildly intelligent, but his mercurial temperament and social anxiety limits his interactions with people. [He] spends most of his free time playing video games."
It's worth remembering that networks and studios sometimes try to hide the identities of big name characters with false details, so there's nothing to say Jon will definitley be an athlete or that Damian loves games.
What's more interesting is that Superman & Lois could end up including The Super Sons, and that's something you have to believe will lend this series a very different feel to previous adventures revolving around the Man of Steel and his wife, the intrepid Daily Planet reporter.
Still, it's hard not to wonder where Batman will be in all this. For now, we'll have to wait and see
