Welcome to the Superboy Discussion Thread!
So, week 52, the last week of the year (well, at least full week). Also the week of Christmas, so Merry Christmas for those who celebrate it.
Also, have you seen the Superman Legacy trailer? No Superboy, but it definitively has a very super good boy.
And I'll add Superman if we get a cameo.
