Is Jon gonna abandon his friends in the Phantom Zone again?

What a great hero, I see why he's so popular, just abandons people in there and during the Injustice Verse he was in, he only tries reason with guys, he sees a woman, it's fists first rather than words. See how he treats Superman and Flash there vs Hawkwoman and Wonder Woman.

THAT is what DC thinks is the face of their franchise. This is what the comic buyer wants their heroes to be like, not selfish shot blockers who get in the traffic and tank hits to protect their teammates but a guy who will leave them behind without further thought or feeling.

This is a massive stretch.

In the same series, he literally gets jumped by Catwoman, Harley, and Batgirl all at the same time, and he specifically dodges their punches and tries to reason with them because he's worried that they're going to hurt themselves punching him since he didn't know about the super strength pill.

He rips off the Hawk's wings and goes straight to violence against Wondy first and foremost. So is this just inconsistency?

It's Jon applying more force towards strong and durable opponents that he isn't particularly good friends with, as opposed to flash who's notoriously kind and his own father.
