I'm sold. All star batman looks great, as does wonder woman and cyborg. Will most likely pick those up alongside the justice league.

They didn't allow a gay marriage because DC and comics in general hate marriages(and characters being content or happy for any extended time)
See
Spiderman & MJ
Superman & Lois
Batman & Catwoman(even when she was basically a full hero, they kept trying to drive a wedge between them.)
His pose is weird, looks like he's putting his arms out to get arrested.

No idea who that is. Maybe Roy Harper since I don't see him mentioned anywhere else.
Maybe it's PG's new costume, they got rid of boob window a while back. I could see 90's kon el being earth 2 Superman's son as well.
I'm guessing it's M'gann (Miss Martian), Lee & Didio mentioned her being part of the event after last year's SDCC.
Yeah check his origin story because it undoubtedly emboldens the far right....

Why are they relaunching titles again? Tell me how much about the following is wrong:
Marvel has a major event every 12 to 16 months.
DC relaunches/reboots every 12 to 18 months.
As a fan of Grayson I'm pissed. Grayson is soooo damn good. Why are they bringing back Nightwing and constraining Dick to superhero rules again? Dick Grayson minus the bat moral code is a great character. His bat allegiance is more of an anchor at this point. How would this work anyway since everyone knows his identity?
Super Sons looks dope.
I'm pumped for Teen Titans. About time someone let Damian be great and wreck shit on a team. This series has to include Damian's pet dog and bat.
Where's Tim Drake-Wayne?
Where's Cassandra Cain?

Disappointed there's no mention at all of the Question. Worst thing about the New 52 was negating Renee Montoya as the character after having a brilliant character arc into taking the role. I'd take Charlie or her at this rate.
Also Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps is the worst title for a comic ever.

Tim Drake and Cass are both in Detective Comics.
I would have accepted Kyle and the GLC or even Hal Jordan is dead but here's the Green Lantern Corps. Last one is admittedly wordy but I'm sure they'd work something out.

Yeah, Lee kinda screwed the pooch on a couple of those.
Like, check out what the Super-Suit is actually going to look like:
Marvel relaunches more like every 6-12 months, fwiw
Grayson is pretty clearly wrapping up. Nothing wrong with letting a character arc conclude. And he's stuck to hero rules this whole time. Man keeps throwing his gun at people.
Not sure how/if they're going to do the identity thing, but they opened the door a couple of issues back for some global-scale Spyra memory alteringl shenanigans.
Tim Drake is on Detective. Ditto Cass. It's a Batfamily team book now.

I admit I find the idea of Hal being front and center boring and would prefer Kyle or Stewart myself. It just seems odd this book is going to be the Green Lantern centric with all member of the corps and yet has Hal's name plastered on it. The one called Green Lanterns focuses only on two members.
I actually likes Bazes reasoning for carrying a gun. The rings seem unreliable enough to warrant carrying a back up.
No one actually cares about Tim Drake do they.

Was I the only one that remembered Baz uses a gun?
I wouldn't be surprised tbh

Unless he's suddenly running the corps I think the name is pretty stupid as well. Honestly though I've been done with Hal since Blackest Night. Shame that they aren't capatilisng on the breadth of alien characters they could use or even create, it would certainly be interesting to get a character who isn't human front and centre. Maybe next relaunch we'll get something better and with a better writer even!
It's the only thing I remember about him. Dude might as well be a walking construct he's so lifeless.

I see no difference in terms of hidden ears from spandex strain.

Talking about the ears on her costume from when she was Batgirl. It just feels like it's missing something now. Kinda like how a lot of people felt about Tim's Red Robin costume before the reboot.
Even if they don't want two Batgirls running around, they could just call her Black Bat again!

Seriously, I know that they're getting another artist (because Karl Keschel bowed out a couple issues ago, before the Yearbook), but afaik that's the only change. Things proceed as per usual.

In the press event after the live stream yesterday, they said they will have more major announcements at ECCC in a couple weeks. Wonder if that's when we'll get the Super Sons creative team and the writer for JLA (Hitch has said on Twitter multiple times he's still drawing it).

Well, I would've, but, you know, he's not, so I didn't.

I like Superman's new suit. Batman's is growing on me. I hope that DC succeeds with whatever they are trying to do here.
Geoff Johns is not yet listed as a writer for any of the ongoings, is he? If not, I'd guess he'd be the JLA writer.

Come on guys, get hyped with me!
That wasn't the inspiration nor is that symbol the same.
Capullo explained each aspect in detail.
I think it looks great for something new and different.
No artist is going to remember the purple. Not one.
Come on guys, get hyped with me!
I want to. But, man...
We'll see. He's obviously CAPABLE of good writing, considering X-O Manowar.
I've got some good news for you:
Plus Stephanie Brown, Kate Kane, Bruce and Clayface.
This art just excites me so much. I love the look of it.

Hopefully. I'm not a fan of the purple.
Isnt that Roy Harper with the Titans. With his trucker hat.lol
I was wondering why Tim was wearing his old Robin costume and then I noticed the RR symbol. I'm so confused.

I'm super excited for so many of these books. Several of the pitches from the creators on the panel made me go from an initial pass (from reading the solicits) to a pull, like Nuperman.
Because every outfit he has ever had has been terrible besides the original Robin one. Yes, even and especially the pre-52 Red Robin one.

I will admit at first I didn't know what to think about the new 52. Then comes along Rebirth, and the jury is still out for me. A few points though:
I don't understand why, if they are bringing in pre-Flashpoint Lois and Clark (with a kid no less), and restoring Terry McGinnis as Batman Beyond, brought back Spoiler and Cassandra Cain as Batgirl, why in the hell they aren't touching / bringing back pre-Flashpoint Wally West (a.k.a. Best Wally). The entire idea of how they are 'fixing' the things people didn't like about the new 52 universe but won't fix that honestly bugs the ever loving crap out of me, especially considering that the Wally West the new 52 has wastes so much about Wally (this comment on r/DCcomics goes into the issues better than I ever could: Why the new Flash Run is bad) .
All of this wouldn't bother me nearly as much if they had introduced the new black Flash (which I actually like, its putting DCs strength having a large number of mantles multiple characters can inherit to good use) as anyone else.
One of Marvel's biggest strengths now was (ironically) losing access to their big 90s franchises, and having to build up B and C Tier franchises to the big leagues. Rebirth does little to address the biggest problem I have with DC, which is that they continue to be the company of the 'Trinity and those other people'. Omega Men has been great, the Starfire solo series has been amazing, and I've honestly liked Grayson. Instead of continuing to make more titles like that which would help diversify their lineup, Starfire is canceled and rolling back into the Titans, Grayson is canceled and going back to Nightwing, and Omega Men is finishing its run and ending (and seemingly not being replaced with anything).

I think I must be crazy but doesn't Marvel do more events and relaunches? 0.0

I don't think there has been a Marvel book over issue #8 in like 3 years. One of their books said something like "Only our second #1 this year."

That quote might have been from Howard the Duck or Squirrel Girl.
You can have Garth and Kaldur'ahm at the same time since, unlike Wally, they're two different people.
Holy shit, those creative teams.
King heading the Bat-Family now? Seeley on Nightwing? Rucka Wonder Woman? Jurgens Superman and Terry? Abnett on Aquaman? Manapul doing art for Trinity? Giffen on Blue Beetle?
Gonna drop a bunch of Marvel books I'm not in love with to try these out; I'm really excited for how great this all sounds.
