That better be Dick. I know the truth but... that better be Dick Grayson.

I have a feeling that this retcon will only go for about a year or so - DC will realize soon enough that 'Tec will be reaching issue #900 about then and they'll go back to original numbering starting there - including retconning the retcon.

I hope this brings Jean Paul Valley back from the grave, I'm sure it won't and this retcon probably won't last, but I hope it at least brings him back.

A bunch more covers and titles revealed:
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dc-r...es-110602.html No idea who the chick in black and yellow trim on the JLI cover is supposed to be. Gypsy? Donna Troy? Hawkman's new costume looks pretty terrible. Mr. Terrific's new costume actually might be cool. |

Hawk Man doesn't look too different.
It seems Wonder Woman's streetwise stint was a prototype for this costume. I'm alright with it, but I rather have more gold. There's a Batman in JLI. Is that Dick, because there's a Batman in JL... Maybe things didn't change that much? |

Seems strange that they'd have Bruce headline two teams, and he wouldn't even be front and center in a team full of B-listers.

He is now. But with everything being rebooted, who knows what the hell is going to happen.
Pretty much all of the Bat-Family characters rely on previous history for them existing as they do today. |

So I just spent the last 6 years finally getting into DC and learning it's ridiculous history, only for them to do this. I don't understand why this is necessary.

I didn't read DC comics weekly, but I kept up for ages. Who lives, who dies, what the year's big event is.
Now I probably won't give a shit unless they do this wisely and reboot things softly. This may not be the case because you can't have Dick-Batman if you're de-aging Bruce. You can't have Supergirl or Connor if you're essentially importing Earth One 'Twilight' Clark. You can't have Cassie if Diana's reverted to her early twenties. This reboot potentially shits on DC's entire 'youth' generation which, ironically, should have been the ones to lead DC's push for new readers in the first place. |

I'm actually into Flashpoint more than Fear Itself. I'm happy because now I can just get like 2 or 3 books from DC and be good and not really care about whats going on, if I'm curious I'll go online.
Gonna cut down on Marvel as well.. gonna try to limit myself to 10-12 books a month,... I'll see in a few months for sure. I just hope this doesn't get in the way of Morison's Batman stories... unless he gets involved and co-writes or some shit. |

Green Lantern titles revealed: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dcnu...rn-110603.html
Looks like all four Earth Green Lanterns are still around, along with all the other colors of the rainbow. Red Lanterns still getting their own series too. Pretty much the same writers handling the various series as well. Really confused about this now, though. How much of the GL history is intact? Hal being Paralax? Sinestro Corps War? Blackest Night? War of the Green Lanterns? WHAAAT IS GOING ON?! |

This is what DC said yesterday in terms of "reboot": "And by the way, let me just reiterate this point: this is the launch of the New DCU. It is not a “reboot.” I think you will soon discover why that is."

Yeah, but it does seem like a reboot for some characters at least.
I guess it is just wait and see with this thing now. |

Cover to Nightwing #1. So apparently, Dick is back to being Nightwing. Unless, of course, this is Jason Todd. |

....I would actually be cool with that. I always thought 'Red Robin' was kind of a dumb name anyway. It'd make a lot of sense, if Dick got bumped up to Batman and Damian is Robin, then Tim could be Nightwing.

They've been revealing Batman book all day: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dcnu...es-110606.html
No idea what the hell is going on with this "reboot". Good news is Damian is still around. Who knows how that works with the altered history. Barbara Gordon is back as Batgirl, no sign of Stephanie Brown (which is a shame because I loved her as Batgirl). No sign of Tim Drake yet. Dick back as Nightwing, but apparently his stint as Batman is still "in continuity". Birds of Prey with no sign of the regular cast except for a badly redesigned Black Canary. Some Red Hood and The Outlaws series that has Red Hood, a two-armed Aresnal/Red Arrow, and Starfire on the cover. Who knows if Red Hood is Jason, or Tim, or someone new... Some new series called "Batwing" that seems to have a black Batman dude for sake of diversity. I really don't know what is happening. |

I really don't get what DC are trying to achieve with this now. If you're rebooting something, do you really want to have 4 Batman books on the go right from the start?
And can the continuity reboot really be that extreme if Morrison is still going to be able to finish his overall arc on Batman? This makes less sense with every new detail that emerges. |

THANK GOD Damien is still Robin, and he'll work with Bruce for the first time as a father/son Dynamic Duo. This is the best news I heard about this reboot/revamp/whatever. Sorry for Stephanie, though, maybe she'll be the spoiler again?

Today they are revealing various "supernatural"-type comics: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dcnu...es-110607.html
No idea why they put Animal Man in with this bunch, though. I bet more than half of these books get canceled. |

Looks like they have completely screwed over/changed Red Robin, Wonder Girl, Superboy, and Kid Flash. No solo series for Tim Drake either, apparently. |
