Tom Taylor has been keeping a secret from you. When the critically acclaimed writer announced that he would be continuing Jonathan Kent’s story in Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent, he didn’t tell you why. Not only will the miniseries see a rematch between Jon and Ultraman, but it will also take DC’s younger Superman to a place he’s never been before. The battle with Ultraman will force Jon to explore the multiverse, and one of the places he’ll end up will be greatly familiar to fans of Taylor and his work for DC. It’s a place of war, a place of betrayal, and a place of…Injustice.

Yes, we can finally reveal that Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent not only continues Jon’s story that Taylor began in Superman: Son of Kal-El, but also builds on the legacy of storytelling he crafted for the popular DC video game franchise, which hasn’t been seen in a DC comic book since the Injustice 2 series concluded in 2018. But how exactly will Jon find himself in Injustice’s harrowing world, in which Batman finds himself fighting for survival against a tyrant Superman? We were as curious as you, so we sat down with Taylor for an exclusive interview about the upcoming series and its newly revealed twist.

Adventures of Superman Jon Kent #2 A

You have been teasing for some time that there is a deeper reason for Jonathan Kent to be getting a new title.

Yeah, we’ve kept something hidden from the fans for a very long time. We have a sort of secret subtitle which we’re very happy to be announcing today. This is Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent…Injustice.

Wow! Okay!

Okay, indeed. A lot of people know the premise of this series: Ultraman, the man who kept Jon Kent, who enslaved him for so long, who essentially took his childhood from him, he’s out there in the multiverse murdering Kal-Els. Val-Zod, and someone who we won’t give away just yet, come to Jon Kent and let him know that they believe he’s the only one who could stop him.

So, that’s what everybody knows, but what they don’t know is where in the multiverse that’s going to lead Jon. One of those places—and a very important part—is the world of Injustice…
