To be frank, I wish Black Adam wouldn't be introduced for a good while. Johns' in particular is the reason why Black Adam's popularity sky-rocketed, usually at the expense of Captain Marvel himself. It's pretty messed up when your anti-hero/villainous antagonist becomes the face of your franchise/family of characters instead of the hero.
Don't get me wrong, I do like Teth, but really, Billy needs to shine on his own, without Teth, or Mary, or Freddy for a while.
I wish Freddy and Mary's introductions would be postponed for as long as possible. I feel they kind of dilute Billy/Captain Marvel, similar to how Superboy/Supergirl (especially her, and don't even get me started on Krypto) do to Superman, and that it works better as long as the core concept is not overburdened. It's fun at first with the "hey, here's the female version of me, I'm no longer alone!", but once past that point, the 'wonder' factor is watered down.
Heres the interview done by Newsarama talking about the New 52.

BTW what other #1 DCnU titels appear or appeared after the first 52? Is there a List somewhere?

👆 though after reading the first 52 Titels I'm kind of disappointed, it's not bad and all but it could have been really new, they could have for example wait some time before bringing Superboy and Supergirl into the game.
Well, we won't be seeing Adam for a while. Here are some new details on SHAZAM.

Yyyyeah kinda what I noticed is that DC are trying to make their characters more 'trendy'. It's kinda like they are selling out a bit. I know I've taken the piss out of DC and sometimes why it seems so silly is because some of there characters are very old, but in a way that makes them special. The reboot seems like a good idea but in some cases they seem to be updating what doesn't need to be.
I'm still pissed about JSA.
