Didn't see it at the time. But it's cool dude. I didn't think there was any bad blood between us, we're just sort of on opposite sides of this reboot. Didn't anticipate the last page or so getting darker. For what it's worth, I hope you enjoy the hell out of the umpteen titles you're looking forward to.
I'm kinda excited, but at the same time, I don't want to get too excited. When I was an X-Men fan, there was a bunch of times when I was TOO excited. One time being when Grant Morrison and Jose Casey jumped on the big books. Another time was when Chris Claremont and Austen was on the big books as well. I've been VERY dissapointed with those creators, for the exception of Morrison. So, I'm not getting my hopes up.
If the books that I'm excited for are good (Mainly the Wildstorm books), then I'll be a happy man. ✅
Hey, Q, how is she stronger than ever? Did you read the interview?

Based on the art, i'd say it's definitely Fatality.
Some tidbits on some characters in the future of DC.
His Atom back ups in Adventure Comics will tie in to his new Frankenstein series as Ray Palmer becomes a member of the S.H.A.D.E. science team. Lemire sees S.H.A.D.E. as the big spy agency for DC new Universe and has talked with Paul Cornell about how it will all fit together with Stormwatch in Year Two.Dan DiDio pretty much comfirmed Wally West won’t be around for a while as Wayy’s origins derive from Barry’s and the timeline is too concise. They will have Bart for the teenage set however.
On Shade.
We know that Von Hammer will be appearing in the first two issues, Robinson also let the audience know that vampire La Sangre will return for issue five to seven. And in issue eleven, Egyptian gods will be attacking London, with Knight And Squire on hand. If they exist. He’s not quite sure if they exist in the New 52. He’s going to find out. He wants to write new Congorilla and new Starman stories – but not using Jack Knight…
Atom as an member of SHADE is perfect.
and Azzarello telling the crowd, to a warm reception, "Shazam's coming, alright?"
New from Higgens Twitter...
First story arc is six issues long.
Eddy Barrows is on the book for the long haul.
Red color isn’t a call back to his time as Robin, this is just a new era for Nightwing.
“Not right away†on old Nightwing villains, as new onces will be the primary focus
Saiko is the first new villain.
Dick’s history with Starfire still stands.
He was still Batman, now he’s not.
The change back to Nightwing is because Bruce came back to Gotham.
Damian will show up in Nightwing.
Blüdhaven still happened.
Wally West won’t be appearing in the book (man, Wally West fans sure are grasping for straws at this point, sucks.)
Dick was still the original Robin.
Slade could come in at some point, as Higgins is also writing Deathstroke, but it’s only a possibility at this point.
Interactions with the other Robins, confirmed.
The “grim†pages we’ve seen are just that, pages, doesn’t mean Dick or the series is grim.
No Tarantula.
Dick’s time as Batman is a big influence to the series.
When asked if there will be a Dick/Babs/Starfire deal, there are “no plans for Starfire.â€
Going to be interactions with Babs.
Age is 21 years old.
History with the Teen Titans will not be erased.
Will be some flashbacks to his time as Robin.
JSA is official confirmed as a series taking place on Earth 2.
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/08/27/james-robinson-confirms-nicola-scott-on-jsa-and-earth-2/
I'd say you should expect Captain Marvel to be there too, as their 'Superman'.
Great news, I'd say.
Meh, I wish they weren't going to do that. I like JSA on New Earth. Like one big family! 🙂
I guess it could make things neater in a sense. I mean, if they merged Milestone's earth with DC's, making them DC proper, they should do the JSA as well.
I guess this is their 2nd wave of books next year. Earth 2 line. Should be fun.
Writer: James Robinson
Artist: Nicola Scott
“Should we tease?” asked O.M.A.C. co-writer and DC co-publisher DiDio. The rest agreed, and James Robinson confirmed that he is working on a new Justice Society project with artist Nicola Scott, and that the parallel world Earth-2 will make a return. The crowd erupted into thunderous applause."We don't want them to just be cameos and then forgotten," DiDio said. "We've waited on JSA because we really wanted to get the details right. We were hammering out the characters as late as yesterday."
More from the panel:
The rundown of DC's premier titles continued fast and furiously as Edwin's reading. DiDio spoke about Grant Morrison's Action Comics, and how Morrison always wanted his own take on Superman's early years. “So much of the DCU is built around Superman,” explains DiDio. “If Justice League is Year One, Action Comics is almost Year Zero.” Clark Kent starts of very much alone, after the death of his adopted parents and his move to a big new city. It will also cover how this incarnation of Clark gets his costume, and why it matters so much to him.
