That's the weird part. First of all, chronologically, Superboy is imprisoned in the Source Wall, then it explodes and he survives and escapes it, then he goes and meets Perpetua. Now, this by itself makes no sense with the Shazam issues [where he was trapped under the red sun]. And then I read this interview by Snyder:https://www.cbr.com/scott-snyder-dark-nights-death-metal-4-interview/
And he makes it clear that Prime is this way because he has matured [they even pondered calling him Superman Prime]. Which again, doesn't jibe at all with the characterization aforementioned appearance.
Maybe future issues will clarify this, given the Johns contributes explicitly to all of this.
Almost seems like Snyder effectively retconned Prime's appearance in the Shazam series, tbh.
