The Super-Sons were a pair of fictional characters in an alternate version of the DC Comics universe. The Super-Sons were Superman Jr. (Clark Kent Jr.) and Batman Jr. (Bruce Wayne Jr.), college-aged versions of their superhero fathers. Their mothers were Lois Lane and Batwoman, respectively. The Super-Sons, tired of living in their fathers' shadows, were apparently intended by writer Bob Haney to represent the youth culture versions of Superman and Batman, not unlike his take on the Teen Titans. The Super-Sons debuted in World's Finest #215 (1973), and had a sparse and unremarkable run in that title through #242 (1976). Although the very first Super-Sons Story insisted that the stories of the Super-Sons were actual stories in the lives of Superman and Batman, their final appearance (World's Finest #263) revealed that the Sons had never existed - they were merely computer simulations of what might have been. Two decades later, a Super-Sons story was scheduled for the Elseworlds 80-Page Giant (1999), which was never published.
