But DC is allergic to “simple,” so this is not what happened. If you pick up the current comics, you find out that Superman only looks old and has less powers due to exposure to extradimensional energies, and he met JFK in the ’60s after falling into a time vortex or something … meaning that he’s kind of a dick for not saying “Hey, uh, might wanna reconsider the convertible on that Dallas thing, Mr. President. Or wear a helmet.”

As for Superman’s son, he’s an adult already because he fell into a black hole while traveling in space. Apparently, the Kents are so clumsy that they can’t leave the house without tripping over some sort of cosmic phenomenon. Yes, there are currently two Supermen in the DC Universe, but there are also 7204 Green Lanterns, so we guess that’s not so bad.
Of course, the real reason for all this tripping across time and space (we haven’t even gotten into the fact that Superman and the Authority takes place in a parallel reality but with the same Superman) is that DC allegedly did plan to shake up their timeline so that every hero debuted on the actual year their first comics came out and aged in real-time, only to scrap the idea. Apparently, Morrison started working on their series while this was still the plan, and DC decided that making the other writers bend over backward while confusing the hell out of readers was easier than just asking a superstar creator to change their work.
