Synopsis:
Superman and Batman each have teenage sons. Batman's son is a success. He has performed admirably and will take over when Batman retires. However, Superman's son is a failure. He frequently misuses his powers. Superman constructs a robot to help train his son, but Clark, Jr. mistakes the robot as his replacement. He destroys it. Superman eventually decides that his son will not overcome his mistakes and is too dangerous, so he exposes his own son to Gold Kryptonite which permanently strips the teenager of his powers.
