    As you all know by now, its been 5 years since the first season and everyone has aged( Miss Martian can shape-shift, so it doesn't really matter), but Superboy pratically looks the same.WTF? And not kryptonians start to age slowly when they reach adulthood. So Are they doing what they did back in the 90's with Superboy?(Sins of the Youth?)

    Well to be fair lets look at it this way:

    • Zatanna: Seems a bit taller and has a different hair cut
    • Rocket: The Same
    • Miss Martian: The Same

    THe only one that's really changed a lot is Dick Grayson, so I think its safe to say that there's really nothing wrong with Superboy, he's just like the other characters. Not to mention how weird it would be if Connor was really tall and old, it would just be awkward. Lastly, was only a couple months old, so his age is definitely screwed up, which means that there's definitely the possibility that there is a reasoning behind his difference, or lack of thereof.

    Well he is a clone, maybe he was genetically modified to age at a slower rate

    @Primmaster64: Dick is 18 and I doubt Wally is the Flash. From what we've seen, no one looks that old. Dick is the only one that's changed, and that's only because there's a robin there.

    @Primmaster64: That's true, but it didn't happen for anyone else. If the show doesn't want to portray big physical changes, then big changes aren't going to happen.

    While Superboy does look like he hasn't aged a day and I don't like the idea of him being stuck at the biological age of sixteen, I believe the outlier isn't Superboy, but rather Dick Grayson. He's supposedly eighteen, but he looks quite a bit older, though his voice seems to be stuck at thirteen. He even appears taller than Batman (even though Dick in the comics is significantly shorter than Bruce, even as an adult). The artists just messed up on him, rather than Superboy.

    @Primmaster64: That's irrelevant. With the information we have, all you can extrapolate is that he's being treated like everyone else in the series.

    @Primmaster64: I understand the concern of basically everyone having noticeable change but how exactly would Connor age without looking exactly like Clark? It would be far too confusing IMO.

    @Deranged Midget: Exactly!!!! 
     
    In the show Superman was in his mid to late 20s at the start. So now Superboy would have to be at least 6 ft tall and have an aged face something like Superman's. Thought I don't feel like it would be that confusing because there would be a few differences. But this does support the "he hasn't aged" thing.

    Maybe those patches he got from Lex that stopped his human DNA somehow affected the rate at which he ages.

    Wally's birthday was just a few episode's ago, he turned 16. It's been a 5 years time-skip so hes 21 now and should be the Flash.

    That's an assumption on your part though, there's nothing to suggest that Barry isn't the Flash.

    I think that is their plan, its gonna be a pretty long season and he needed a conflict/subplot so aside from his issues with ms martians "habits" he will probably search for a cure

    Everything will make sense in due time. Hopefully all of our questions will be answered as well. I don't think the creators just assumed we'd forget Artemis, Kid Flash and Aqualad. That being said I do wish they didn't take the 5 years later route. I think all of this would seem so much more interesting meaningful if we actually got to see it develop.
