There was a Damian fan account on twitter that posted a graphic that had all the books the super sons appears in, including the issue of Bendis' Superman where he """"reunited"""" them. I tweeted that issue does count and they immediately blocked me. I still laugh about it
Haha, that's incredibly funny XD. I can definitely say for sure that the fact that they blocked you says more about them.
But in all seriousness, I and @wesavegotham were actually talking about this recently. And I actually discussed this @bardicious too awhile back. So I will summarize all our conclusions into this post.
The question that if you still consider the Super Sons, the same dynamic dual they were after Jon was aged up?
All of us had the same conclusion that the answer was obviously no.
Think about it, one factor why Tomasi’s Super Sons worked and was received so well was because Damian was older (obviously this isn’t the only reason). Damian being older not only benefited the development of Damian but also of Jon’s:
Damian has a darker past (raised by the league since birth), very intelligent for his age, and believe it or not, Damian is, for the most part, really wise. Jon, on the other hand, is more naive, he was new to being a superhero and didn’t yet know of how dark the world could be, and the person mentoring him...was Damian, the person you least expect to mentor anybody.
But Damian was perfect for the job, he also started his superhero career at 10. Although he is young, Damian is absolutely NOT naive. Damian has experienced the worse the world can throw at you. What better person to mentor you?
Damian learned a lot from mentoring and training Jon. Now Damian was not being mentored or watched over, he was mentoring and watching over Jon instead. Working with Jon helped Damian learn how to better work with someone who was difficult to handle as he is.
And it gave Damian the opportunity to be the older sibling for once for someone else that needed an older brother figure in their life like Dick is to him.
On the other hand, Jon being younger and naive isn’t a bad thing. Him being child-like helped Damian finally experience the childhood he was neglected. It helped Damian not take everything too seriously and enjoy life for once. Put a little bit of his trust into someone else besides Dick and gain a new friend who understood living under the burden of a legacy that was so heavy. As Damian was mentoring Jon in the superhero world, Jon was mentoring Damian in their personal world outside of patroling.
Under Damian, Jon was getting development, learning to be his own entity, and not overshadowed by his father. Plus Damian wasn’t gonna let Jon just be all muscle, he was teaching him to be analytical-like and do detective work as well. Under Damian, Jon would learn how to be different from his father.
Now that Jon is older, it disrupts that dynamic. I don’t think even Bendis even knows how he messed this up. And no amount of cats, hugs, or whatever he showed us in his version of Super Sons in Superman issue 16 can fix that.
And even if he ages down Jon down, I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for leaving Damian alone during one of the darkest times of his life after leaving the league (with Alfred dead) and as @wesavegotham said for even implying that Damian was comparable to a ‘baby Hitler.’ I don’t know if that is even worse than Glass destroying Damian’s development.
It is not only insulting to fans of Damian like myself who have watched Damian grow and develop. But it also is an insult to writers like Tomasi and Gleason who worked so hard to develop Damian in the first place.
This is made exclusively to punish Alexander Hamilton for getting this song stuck in my head.

THE GAANG x
What so many of you guys fail to realize is that nothing within canon ever states that Sadie is milky pale or blonde, Sadie is explicitly described as having light brown hair.
She is lighter than Carter and Julius to the point where people are visibly surprised to find out that they are related; but she is also known as “the mixed race girl” in school and that is something that makes her stand out. This could obviously be something that she told her classmates, and I think that she did, but it’s highly unlikely that she would be racialized if she didn’t look vaguely like she could be part black.
She can be light enough that people can assume her to be white and still be perceived as a poc by some. Colouring is incredibly persuasive and the combo of light hair and eyes undoubtedly contributes people making baseless assumptions about her heritage.
"You're alone," said his step-mother, a wicked smile on her lips.
"They will come." But Nico wasn't sure.
He walked in, Hazel was in the living room, reading a book, Frank was at his side, sitting straight, in a different chair than Hazel, too nervous.
"Leo and Jason?"
"They will come."
Hazel sighed, patting at his side, where Nico sat, burying his fingers on his tights.
Being in a polyamory relationship was hard, especially when his family mocked him about that, even Hazel, sweet and caring, looked at him weirdly.
"Nico, dad is expecting you, he's in his office."
Bianca was standing, avoiding his eyes, walking away when Nico passed at her side, his heart still aching.
"None of your boys came."
"They're late, Leo is working, soon he will get a patent, the youngest boy getting one."
Nico's voice was angry, the teasing in his father's tone infuriating him, the words dripping venom.
"And Jason, his father still spoiling him? at least Valdez has his own money"
"The scholarship of Jason isn't a gift"
Mr. di Angelo waved, standing from his desk, walking to the dining room, where the rest of the family was waiting.
Thanks to god, only his sisters, father, and step-mother were there, but he was expecting Jason and Leo, the family wouldn't be so mean in their presence.
He could fake an emergency, though, Leo burning something, Jason injured, an imaginary pet dying.
While he considered causing an accident, the doorbell rang, the heart of Nico pumping, he almost ran to open the door, Leo and Jason on the door.
"Sorry, babe, Superman got stuck at the laundry."
Nico hugged Leo, breathing deeply, kissing his jaw, barely crying, feeling safe with his boys.
"Hi, Neeks, I'm really sorry."
Jason was holding a bouquet, a shy smile, bitting the little scar on his face, reaching Nico's hand, interweaving their fingers, kissing them.
"At least you're here."
