Welcome to a new generation of DC superhero greatness.

Whoever thought that a super powered son of Superman would be embraced by fans?

But the youngest Kent is not the only second generation costumed champion swatting bad guys around the DC Universe.

Where Damien is dark and driven, Jonathan is bright and hopeful.

Where their fathers make up the Worlds Finest team, Superboy and Robin make up the Super Sons.

Den of Geek: Did you pitch forSuper Sons, or did DC come to you with the idea?

Peter Tomasi:They went through some original pitches, eventually, they just gave it me.

What drew you to Damien and Superboy?

Honestly, I love writing kids.

Its been a lot of fun to work on such young characters.

To add more muscle and bone to these characters has been great.

What do you think works when it comes to Jonathan Kent?

When they put a super son in a film, fans were like, Um, no.

The character of Chris Kent didnt last past Geoff Johns leaving Action Comics.

Hopefully, its my writing.

Dan Jurgens did a great job in Lois and Clark bringing Jon to life.

He doesnt fall far from the tree.

Hes a hopeful kid with a lot to learn.

Where are the kinds now and whats coming up?

Were coming to a crossover with Teen Titans and Superman in December called Super Sons of Tomorrow.

Me and Pat Gleason are writing.

The Super Sons might have the darkest relationship in the DCU.

I think Damien is the perfect Robin.

His legacy and history makes him fit in the Bat mythos perfectly.

Damien and Bruce are the perfect Batman and Robin.

Damien is a story machine.

His grandpa Ras Al Ghul, his mom Talia, and he rides around on a Man-Bat.

Hes all over the place.

Any villains or supporting character you would love to use?

Well, were looking into the aspect of a Mothers Day issue.

And were talking both moms- Lois and Talia.

That would be a great book, Lois and Talia, like Betty and Veronica.

I can see the Adam Hughes cover right now.

How does being fathers change the Bruce and Clark dynamic?

When the Worlds Finest get together, theyre two dads.

Its a strange dynamic to work with, but then it became not so strange.

It lends itself to drama and conflict.

The ages of the kids puts those two parents into new mindsets and situations that make you laugh.

Theres something joyous about it, its not just dark.

Being a parent is fun.

Whens the parent/teacher issue?

Which brings to mind, do they kids go to school?

Oh, were going to be doing stuff with school.

We can show that daily grind.

Talk about writing Lois now that shes a mom.

Its Sarah Conner meets Lois Lane.

She was recently in a Hellbat suit.

She takes no guff.

Shes one of the most important women in comics, and were not shying away from that.
