I’m not going to pretend that this crossover with the Teen Titans was good, because it was okay at best. Even so, this is still a very important piece of why I think Jon left the Legion of Super Heroes. It’s clear the Legion didn’t want Damian around, Saturn Girl more specifically, and it feels as if Jon just up and quit without a rhyme or reason. This very storyline the reason why I think he did.
This is the first time Damian is exposed to his own possible future. Despite this, his entire focus is protecting Jon. He knows that soul flare isn’t entirely Jon’s fault. During the entire story, Damian never once blames Jon for the doomed future. Thankfully, Clark seems to agree and that the soul flare happened due to Jon’s friendship with Damian.
Damian’s response is his promise to protect Jon and never push him to the point of having to choose between him and the world. Jon also makes the promise to always stay with Damian and protect him. This is the opposite response expected and impressed Clark. Jon knows what future Tim showed, but never once blames Damian. He sees it as a possible future that they can both prevent by sticking together, never splitting apart no matter how bad things get. Their loyalty is what saves that future.
The Teen Titans don’t vote Jon in after that future, proving further how flimsy their loyalty actually is. It shows how easy it is to push people away out of fear of a what-if future. Their loyalty throughout the story is clear from who they had been siding with the entire time: Tim. No wonder Damian’s Titans disbanded. With friends like them, who needs enemies, right?
This goes into why Jon left the Legion of Super Heroes. Right before leaving, Jon had seen what could lead to a foggy future for Damian. He likely saw a crossroad that could lead to the incident of Jon unleashing his solar flare. Suddenly, everything begins making sense. The choices are ultimately up to Damian, but it’s this moment Jon realizes is a true test to his loyalty. He could choose to watch Damian’s doomed future unfold or leave the Legion to save his best friend. By leaving the Legion of Super Heroes, Jon chooses to stay by Damian’s side during the worst of times.
These scenes here speaks volumes. It could be seen as Jon fearing of losing a friend or it could be seen as him contemplating leaving the Legion to unknown territory. While I’m not going to ignore Jon’s fear of losing his dad, I do think this is proof that he no longer is with the Legion. When it was Damian’s future, there were many roads to Damian’s future, but only one road Jon knew of his father’s possible death. The reason he couldn’t see pass a possible death for his dad is because he no longer could see any possible futures.
I truly believe that Jon left the Legion of Super Heroes to save Damian and keep his promise to always protect him no matter how bad things get. I have no doubt this was the hardest decision for Jon. He clearly loves the Legion and found interest in Saturn Girl. However, it was a sacrifice Jon had to make for the sake of a friend.

Name something in DC comics that got fucked up because of the New 52.
It could be story lines, characters, etc
Nothing has recovered since.
Everyone give me one thing you think the New 52 ruined

Dc x dp idea 34
Danny gets sent back in time often to fix disasters. This causes problems.
Danny is a member of the teen titans in this. Amity has been handled portal shut down by the league. The minute the anti ecto acts were suggested they acted and nipped it in the bud. As Danny is a teen in this that’s we’re he goes.
Now Danny never really stated his status as a halfa. Just indirectly said his parents caused him to have the second form.
One day there is a huge threat. Now there are rumors the ghost king is kind and protective of earth. In the past there are records of him helping. At the same time warnings he will bring destruction. Two very distinct personalities.
Danny tries to stop them but it’s too late. As he is the one who sealed pariah not the ancients. The summoning worked as it had no magic backing it.
Cue pariah instantly attacking Danny raving about how he took away his victory. Now they have two threats at once. Danny takes down pariah and becomes king.
Now the split personalities makes sense especially when Danny actually discloses some information. Like the fact he had time traveled and clockwork likes to make him fix things.
