DC Universe Rebirth Begins This May

Which two books?


I'm saying what because I can't believe it.

Ah yeah.

He's gonna be in Flash and Teen Titans for sure.

I think DC's major mistake was bringing back the silver age, and not progressing forward. I loved Hal and Barry, but we already had Wally and Kyle (and I despise Kyle)... And we then had Bart. The whole purpose of the Multiversity was to have your cake and eat it. Now we're having the same dish over and over again. What happened to lineage, passing down the mantle?

But anyway, Titans is a book all about legacy characters. Imagine it'll be examined there.

It worked for Cap

The classic Superman suit has too much red in it, I've always wanted the cape to pop more. I like the cuffs idea.
Cap's costume breaks up the Blue with the red and white abdomen. Supernan looks more like an Eartling trying to be an Alien than an Alien being an Alien.
I still think you need more red, than what is done present. They basically New 52's his boots like they did with WW's new 52 boots.

In an amusing reversal, apparently Jim Lee can't draw the current Supersuit well.

(As opposed to the current N52 suit, where he's the only one who can)
 
Rafa cover on Batgirl:

From creating controversy to being the book's artist. Rafa knew what he was doing.

I didn't draw that shit, brah.

They've really disrespected Aquaman, Teen Titans, Cyborg with these creative teams. Where is Shazam, Bluebird, Zatana, Hawkman and a decent Titans lineup?

Abnett on Aquaman is fine. Cyborg is Cyborg, he comes predisrespected.

Idk about the missing people, though I'd say that Kyle is a much bigger question mark than Hawkma. And the Titans lineup (both of them) is fine, though I do wish they'd dug up Kaldur for Teen.

Perhaps it's starting to grow on me (except for those sleeves), but I like how it looks here.

You'll notice that there's no weird not-trunks here, that the belt is more prominent, and that the sleeves end differently. I think Lee might have just messed up.

Is the belt supposed to be red or yellow? Because in some of the images shown in the conference Superman is shown having a yellow belt while one shown him with fully red boots.

Jesus, man. All because I don't like Kyle? I already said they shouldn't have given him the boot for Hal. I just got tired of all these white Super Heroes, and Kyle really came off as a Peter Parker clone.

Red, I think.

Chill, just ribbing ya :p

Kyle is latino tho. Or half latino at any rate.

Yea... It looks better. The Huge red S makes up for everything. The Blue really reminds me of Xmen blue, where the highlights are blue, and everything else is black.
No worries mate... I mean, I love that Kyle has a fanbase. I think what DC did to Kyle and Bart, wasn't fair. I understood why they put Bruce back under the mantle after Dick was Batman (best Dynamic Duo btw), but there was no reason to have Kyle play second fiddle to Hal and Guy... And to shit on Bart.
 
Ok, I'm a bit out of the loop on Superman here, but... who the fuck is Clark White?

Clark White is the alias of Pre-Flashpoint Superman now that he's ended up in the New 52 universe. He and his wife (Lois White) and his son (John White) try to keep their heads down, while also being a down-low Superman and an investigative writer.

Kyle is doing pretty well actually. He's a White Lantern. Like space-jesus. Or he was before the Omega Men arc, now he's something different but also awesome.

He's the Superman of Pre 52 who survived flashpoint through the DC mega event convergence, and now he's in hiding with his family (Lois and their son Jon Kent) in the new 52 universe. And he has a beard.
If DC really wanted people to love Superman over Batman, just give him a beard. Bearded Superman is a sexy mofo.

I am genuinely confused as to why they're getting rid of it. Its an easy visual distinction between him and 'current' Superman, so if they really are having him shave it off to become Superman again... what happens to the current one?

Ok, so, there's two Supermen?

There is so much info coming out, but does anyone know which Helena they are using in the art work? I don't want to lose my newfound love of Helena B from Grayson.

Also, Luthor has decleared himself Superman. And then there's the Chinese one.

Oh, and I'm not sure what's going on with New 52 superman, so he might not count. So somewhere between 3 and 4.

So is this considered an alternate dimension to the current storylines in the comics, or some villain happened to destroy the DC multiverse (again)?

Neither, as far as we know. It's not a reboot, it's not an alternate dimension, it's just a shift in the status quo.

She certainly looks like Matron. Can't imagine she's Helena W.

At this point, they should just get rid of continuity altogether, and have it only exist in stand alone graphic novels, like the earth 1 series.
I know, I know... That's a terrible idea, right? Then how do you fix the mess that's the DCU without a COMPLETE reboot?

They tried that with the DCYou. Maybe not to the extent you're thinking of, but they sort of did away with tight canon for a bit there. People stopped buying the books.

Just embrace the mess, imo.

Roy's hat & tattoos are here to stay... Barf

Trucker Hat x Roy 4 lyfe.

On one hand I'm happy. On the other it's also a downgrade imo to go from that to being stuck with Babsgirl.

Spyral is pretty clearly gonna be dismantled, seems like as good a place as any.
 
So, I'm bored, so what the hell, I'm gonna put together an OT.

Title suggestions! If I don't get anything good it's gonna be

DC Rebirth |OT| It's Not a Reboot, and it Never Was

Is there a high res version of this floating around anywhere?

Slightly higher. Not desktop worthy tho.

Be sure to make a topical and snarky remark about BVS' RT score somewhere in the title.

Wonder Woman new design is straight up ripped from her movie looks. Not that it's a bad thing, her movie costume is amazing.

"How many Supermen are there again?"

Alternatively

"Trying To Bring Sales Back To Life"

Admittedly, not my most inspired area.

It's pretty similar to how Jason Fabok has been drawing her in Justice League as well. His first issue a couple years ago had her with the battle skirt look.

I can't believe Red Hood is still stuck with Lobdell. At least it looks like Tim Drake is being saved though.
