The tales of the Super-Sons were set in an unspecified future, involving the adventures of Superman Junior and his best friend Batman Junior. They were said to be the sons of the Superman and Batman of Earth-One, and of two unidentified women who were their mothers. At first struggling to live up to the heroic legacies of their fathers, the pair eventually came into their own. During one such case versus the evil Doctor Sivana, the pair discovered that their foe hadn't previously existed, and began investigating their nature of their own existence.
Using his own psuedo-science, Superman Junior was able to materialize himself and his pal into the physical universe from inside the Fortress of Solitude. In fact, he and Batman Junior were actually simulations within Superman's computer, which the World's Finest Team had used from 1973 until 1980 to view the potential lives of their virtual sons. This was an amusing diversion for the pair of Justice Leaguers, giving them a window into their lives once they finally settle down into domestic bliss and start their own families.
At the moment when Superman was disposing of atomic waste into his vast Fortress disintegrator, the computer simulations' artificial intelligence manipulated the discarded matter and formed new bodies for the pair of youths. Seeking out their fathers, the Juniors' inadvertently unleashed a series of natural disasters caused by the unstable natures of their own physical forms. Deducing that this was the cause for the recent chaos unleashed upon the world, Superman and Batman convinced the Juniors' to return to the disintegrator pit, thus destroying them from existence.
On Earth-Two, it was revealed that Clark and Lois Kent had a son of their own. Evidence points to their utilizing the bio-ray projector which animates comic strip characters, invented by the evil Funny Face, and revitalizing a clone of Superman's Flying Tiger disguise which the villain had previously used. It was revealed that eventually this son turned evil, and as he had never been mentioned by the 1970s, it seems likely that this Superman Junior likewise ceased to exist, returning to his two-dimensional existence once more.
As for a Batman Junior, a time-displaced daughter of named Helena “Huntress” Wayne briefly appeared during a case in 1942 involving the Justice Society, Justice League and All-Star Squadron versus evil analogues of the World’s Finest Team… Ultraman and Owlman.
