It is. He was in Eternal and Red Robin tried to convert him. Lane's Suit of Sorrows is white and magical. New Valley's suit is red/yellow and tech-based.

Yeah. I saw him in Eternal. Great suit design. I wonder how they will handle him in Detective Comics. He's essentially superhuman in his physical traits. But they also have Clayface there, so I guess the team as a whole will get a lot more powerful.

 

[KonradLaw]

People liked Jean-Paul Valley? I mean I don't hate him I guess... but he always just felt like a walking plot device to move Knightfall along.

One of my favorite non-magical DC characters to be honest. Love the whole lore and really enjoyed his solo series..

so rebirth starts this month woah!

Here are some early pages of Red Hood: http://www.newsarama.com/29041-dc-r...tml#st_refDomain=t.co&st_refQuery=/BcIX7qetqW
It looks like Jason is going back to his pre-52 origin of how he met Batman.

I saw this earlier. It was criminal of them to change it to begin with (even though it's not Todd's original origin). Dismantleling a portion of the bat mobile is essential to establish Jason Todd's character. It's like Tim Drake doing detective work to figure Bruce and Dick are Batman and Nightwing/Robin.

People paying actual money on a phone poll to see him killed off is also part of his character, but DC are fine with overturning that and constantly trying to force him back in as the anti-Bat

You're opening Pandora's box. Jason Todd death was a part of Bruce's character development, not Jason's. But if we're going to discuss resurrections, Barry Allen is another one who's sacrifice was a major point for the character. And so is Hal's breakdown.

so rebirth starts this month woah!

Time moves pretty fast. I'm looking forward to the Rebirth special and the books that pop-up this summer.

This has stopped being true a while back.

The new RHatO may try to do this again, but he has been more of an Anti-Nightwing since battle for the cowl.

And I wish he was being forced in. Maybe then, Loeb would not be the one writing him.

DC has released some preview pages for Wonder Woman: Rebirth. They're everything I hoped for:

 

[weshes195]

Whoa, who is the artist on this book? That is beautiful.

 

[tim1138]

Whoa, who is the artist on this book? That is beautiful.

Those pages are from Liam Sharp. Nicola Scott is the other artist on it. Sharp's pages are current day and Scott is drawing the Year One story.

His art looks like a much better Ethan Van Sciver. Same amount of detail, less asymmetrical people.

God damn that's looking good. The shadows are great, and she looks a bit more mature than she's usually drawn.

God that is beautiful. Can't wait for this to drop.

 

[Bear Force One]

Liam Sharp is God. That is all.

 

[KOMANI]

Don't like it. That double page spread is meh.

 

[Bear Force One]

You mean glorious.

 

[KOMANI]

You mean glorious.

No... No I don't. It reminds me of Kaluta. I see the appeal for it, it's just not the style I dig.

 

[NumberTwo]

Loving the art. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

 

[Dead]

Woah, that looks great.

Also have to say the movie costume + cloak is the best WW design ever.

 

[Savitar]

Wow, that guy has seriously improved. He's always been a damn good artist but that's definitely better than what he has done before.

 

[TropicalFish]

I still wish the gold parts of her costume were silver.

Her costume in Darkseid War is still my favourite.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I still wish the gold parts of her costume were silver.

I think it works really well with the overall color palette on display here. Might change my opinion when it crops up in other books, but it's fantastic in those pages.

 

[shingi70]

Yo Poodle your back.

Jim Lee's cover to Sucicide Squad

Seems a bit rushed.

 

[MHWilliams]

The Deadshot design is way too busy.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Yo Poodle your back.

Jim Lee's cover to Sucicide Squad

Seems a bit rushed.

A lot of his stuff has been looking rushed lately, tbh. Compare the costumes he drew for the banner to the actual artist's work.

The Deadshot design is way too busy.

Agreed. I think he can pull it off, provisionally. Assuming the mask is gonna be either open or off most of the time.

 

[shingi70]

The Deadshot design is way too busy.

It's where they should have just used the film desgin. The transforming helmet is kinda dumb.

 

[MartyStu]

Wait, 'The Wall' is back?

 

[shingi70]

Wait, 'The Wall' is back?

Yeah she showed up in Last Month's Sucicide Squad looking different thanks to the power of retcons and corporate Synergy.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Wait, 'The Wall' is back?

Indeed she is, and in fine form. They actually released a thing from the Rebirth creative team, Harley Quinn and the Suicide Squad: April Fool's Special. It's pretty great, and if it's indicative of where they're taking the book, we're in for a great run.

 

[tim1138]

Enchantress looks like crap on that cover

 

[Dram]

I'm surprised they didn't try to make Deadshot look like Will Smith.

 

[KOMANI]

Respect Jim Lee, love Jim Lee... Can't stand any resigns he draws... Whether they be his own or someone else's.

 

[Schweinehund]

Didn't know that was the squad's lineup. I like enchantress and boomer, think I'll pick it up.

 

[LordRaptor]

The Deadshot design is way too busy.

It looks like he jacked Hardwares suit

 

[NumberTwo]

I never cared for Lee's interpretation of Killer Croc either.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I thought there was a new Deadshot. He's not in the book?

 

[Poodlestrike]

I thought there was a new Deadshot. He's not in the book?

First I'm hearing of a new Deadshot. Was the same old dude when he cropped up in Midnighter.

Flyod Goes off the reservation in his mini series book, and Waller replaced him with a new guy.

Ah, haven't been reading that. Any good?

 

[kmfdmpig]

The Deadshot design is way too busy.

It's very 90s/Wildstorm, which for me is not a good thing at all. Old Deadshot had a cool look that did not need to be changed.

Here's an interview with James Tynion about what 'Tec will be like if anyone's interested:

http://doomrocket.com/james-tynion-iv-interview/

All he says about Tim Drake gives me so much hope that the character's in good hands and will finally get some well needed development and focus in Rebirth.

 

[Penguin]

Not much new here, but the artist for WW wrote a little something for medium

Man, I don't really like any of these designs. Though it doesn't matter to me much, never been a huge Suicide Squad guy.

 

[Apt101]

Wow that Wonder Woman material looks great. Jim Lee's Suicide Squad cover, eh, a little 90's Mister Wayne.

I like how he talked about how WW means a lot to women and the LGBT but didn't call her a Feminist. Also LOL at the "Yo dudes you should totally buy this cuz it has action, monsters, science, and stuff." If this artist were Finch this would have been torn apart by comic sites.

He says some good stuff about Tim, but then references Batman and Robin Eternal which I felt was pretty horrible and almost nothing of note for Tim. That was basically the Dick and Harper story with support from everyone else.

Yeah...a comicbook having monsters, action, science and mythology sounds terrible. Definitely won't buy anything with those elements in it.

 

[SpaceWolf]

So is there like a list out there regarding all the continuity changes and character rewrites this event is going to bring to the DC Universe?
