Better yet, he's going to romance Midnighter!

Is that Jenny in the cover? I had just started to like River 🙁

I think it is....Jenny.

Really? We are going to see a mainstream gay courtship.... 😬

Yep, thats what the writer said.

I'm really looking forward to Demon Knights in November. I wonder how Paul Cornell will represent Mordru. Should be fun.

I'm looking forward to all of them. I will give each one of the 52 a try and stay with the best.

Btw what happens to JSA and Superman/Batman when the new era begins?

Whilst very liberal, I'm not sure I want to see that in a comic.

Superman/Batman is gone for good, apparently. JSA will have a new #1 in one of the following months, from what I've seen, and James Robinson will likely be the writer.

Why not?

Afraid it might stir up some confused feelings?

I hope James Gordon Jr remains the same post reboot, because wow Snyder destroyed it in Detective. Scary scary character, Dick's Joker. I hope the developments carry over, but I'm a little worried since Babs isn't paralyzed in the new continuity.

James will make a (brief) appearance in Batman #1. As for his presence in Gotham, he's someone I have some fun (dark and twisted) long-term plans for 🙂

Don't worry so much.

Oh Thanks. A pity, I really liked the Superman/Batman stories, not all but enough^^.

Nah, I think the amount of homosexuality in the media is generally disproportionate anyway, it's a form of social engineering forcng an issue that shouldn't really be an issue down peoples throats. Generally in comics gay male characters are lisping sissies, in other forms of media the camp homosexual is far more common. Gays in comics is something that has been done to death, do we really want the kind of shock value dialoge the Authority has always used revamped. Midnighter and Apollo have always been a bit carry on, as have the plots they are involved in. They badly even did the confused feelings plot with that Captain America analogue using Apollo as a punch bag years ago.

Sometimes gays in comics work, Hellblazer has had some success and so did the Sandman for example. however the dialogue was still shitty and over the top. You don't get this with heterosexual relationship portrayals in comics.

I'm gonna have to drop some Marvel titles. Got to get in on this because this is history in the making. So they're rebooting GL stuff? I bet alot of those titles are going to get cancelled, and not because they suck.

GL is just about the only franchise DC's not rebooting explicitly.

It's going to be epic, and by far the title I'm most excited for.

Same here, I'm actually going to start picking up single issues again. I can't wait to get my hands on the first issue. I already saw on the Dc boards where Clark walks in on Lois 😄

[B]Batman preview covers.

Nightwing's cover is by far my favorite. I'm sure its going to be a far better read than Batman. 😉 ... I'm looking forward to reading this aswell as Batgirl, Huntress and Birds of Prey.

Nightwing, Stormwatch and the New Guardians are going to be my opening set I think. Maybe I'll read some Action Comics or Supes, not convinced by the info said so far.
