Is the DCU ready for two Jon Kents?

The Planet Naltor has been taken over by the Witch Queen. Green Lanterns have fallen in attempts to stop her.

BIZARRO: YEAR NONE #1 (DC COMICS)
In all of comics, it is tough to be one of a kind.
For one Superman rogue, he is the exception to the rule. A polarizing version of the Man of Tomorrow. What he lacks in smarts, he more than makes up in brute strength. An unconventional soul to say the least.
