DC Comics Will Show Jon Kent A Zack Snyder Superman (Spoilers)

Once upon a time, the Superman-analogue from Earth-3, Ultraman, held Jon Kent, son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, hostage for five years.

Once upon a time, the Superman-analogue from Earth-3, Ultraman, held Jon Kent, son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, hostage for five years – though it passed for her parents in the blink of an eye, ageing him up to seventeen years old.

Zack Snyder is, after all, a man who knows what his audience wants. And that happens to be a neck-snapping Superman.

Back in Justice League #37 nine years ago, Geoff Johns had Superman dealing with Amazo who also had superpowers and heat vision, chose to do the other trick of Superman putting his hand over Amazo's eyes. It's easy when you know how.
