Not officially, no. I think his identity will be revealed soon.

On another note, I'm still not sure what the endgame is here. Like, where does DC go after this..? 😕

Just seems like a convoluted mess at this point. Hopefully it gets more cohesive as time goes on.

Yes it was.

Rebirth crushed Marvel in July.

And with a third fewer comics!

Nightwing did great! Everyone should be reading Detective. It's probably the best Batman run I have read in a while.

A really INTERESTING read about Rebirth and how it's all playing out with hints and whatnot.

I wonder if the Chinese Justice League turns out to be like Alpha Flight or enemy for the JL, like the squadron supreme.

Well deserved. Most of the Rebirth comics I've been reading have been quite good. It seems DC has finally righted the boat. Meanwhile, Marvel continues to descend further and further into mediocrity.

Which ones are you reading? I honestly thought the DCnU relaunch was a little bit better, because of diversity.

I have a lot to catch up on so far, they release them so often and there are so many titles its impossible to pick. So far I'm sort of caught up on Wonder Woman, but when I get paid I'll probably pick up the Superman, Justice League, and other Nightwing issues. Are the Batman Rebirth stories good?

Yes.

Batman is always good, but I'm biased 😄

Detective rocks!

Can't wait until the Young Animal line comes out (Doom Patrol, Cave Carson, etc...) and hopefully the Wildstorm line gets rebooted. Jim Lee hinted about WildCATS returning.

On top of Milestone getting it's own universe and line. Far down the road, but still.

All is good.

For the Batman related books i've mainly been reading/following Detective.

You don't think it's because of the reboot and new number ones, or the price reduction?

Deathstroke was pretty good this week. Highly recommend it.

Oh, I'm sure that their sales were because of those factors. However, by "righting the boat" I was referring to them creating quality comics rather than sales.

I haven't read a lot of the Rebirth issues but a few of them were actually quite interesting.

But I am concerned at the sheer number of copycat characters running around these days with DC getting even worse in Rebirth. Marvel is nearly as bad. It seems to be exploding geometrically - I mean can anyone actually recall off the top of their head how many goddamn Supermen/women/girls/boys/kids, Batmen/woman/girls/boys/wings, Green Lanterns, Flashes, Wonder Womans, Spidermen/women/girls, Powergirls etc are currently active now? Last I looked at some issues there were like four different Supermen running around in one issue, preboot Superman sneaking around in another, Luthor Superman, Obama Superman, Chinese Superman, Chinese Batman, Chinese Wonder Woman, yet another Green Lantern, two Lois's, two Wally West Flashes, and about 50 new Flashes. Does every damn character have superpowers now, even Lois and Lana?

I think the current editors and writers need to learn something about maintaining the power of brand recognition. These characters lasted so long because they were iconic and people knew them - not by being diluted to kingdom come so that people don't even know who is who. What's so special about a character when there are a dozen others who all do the same thing?
