How this didn’t last at least 10 years I’ll never know. The fans will never know. THIS is the golden era of Dc comics
Mostly because Geoff Johns decided to leave DC Comics to focus more on the TV side of things letting the old guard who were in charge of the New 52 to come back and destroy everything that Rebirth had created and set up.
after seeing the video five times, i still don't know what rebirth is
I'm scrolling through the comments to get a better idea.
+Richard Moran you basically read my mind
There not rebooting there going to do stories that we'll change things about the characters like making a new roster on the teen titans or relationships and adding in books that haven't got to comeback fully like the jsa and expand on the dcu and have something great for everyone
+Richard Moran yeah i dont ethier
Same here dude, same here. lol
I like how Dc is listening to their readers and fans
Yea that's amazing
Tips:
- DO NOT go and try to make Superman a more fresh, edgy, urban-looking character.
- Lobo we know and love is, and always will be, the Main Man.
- Nightwing's uniform is black and blue. Red is a way overused color by the bat pupils.
red and blue hell still be nightwing
+duffboy502 Why not blue AND Red? You know, since he is inspired by both Batman AND Superman in this guise...
SAy, have the Eagle thing have red lines in hte feathers or have some red lining on the costume. Basically make him look like some sort of Bird of Prey or draconic bird like the Krypton's Nightwing.
+duffboy502 YES. THANK YOU.
+duffboy502 yes, superman should NEVER be a fresh, or edgy or any current trends in the form of his overall character.. the character is called a boy scout for a reason, he's old fashioned. he's the ICON that every dc non anti-hero aspires to be. that means his costume should never change from the image we all know (red under wear and all). his values are old fashioned and his costume should reflect that. and red night wing costume just doesn't look right. yes the red does recall his robin days, but he's moved past that and is the one of the most respected dc heroes in his own right. and the blue shows that as he can stand on his own.
Are you in the writers' room?
Fix Green Arrow, fix Tim Drake, fix Superboy and Teen Titans... basically anything Scott Lobdell touched rebirth it!!!!!!!!
Green Arrow is great right now
Better yet, just fire Scott Lobdell so he can't ruin anyone else
*cough*fix wally*cough*
+Prince Lewis Wally just got his powers we might finally see him become a sidekick to the flash.
+FreeSkill Videos Exactly. I hope it's more different creators doing the books, and not just old creators doing different books.
In Geoff Johns I trust.
+Giovanni Alckmim Russo Remember that Geoff Johns supposedly oversaw the New 52 reboot as well.
Jim Dot Beep But I enjoyed the New 52, and his run on Justice League has been amazing. The things that I hated about New 52 were Teen Titans, Wally West, Cameron Stewart's Batgirl, Robocop Bugs Bunny (even though Scott Snyder insist in call it Batman) and Truth. The rest I enjoyed a lot.
+Giovanni Alckmim Russo Same here. Except, I seem to be the only one who liked Robo Bat bunny Gordon :P
IronSilverMan HAHAHAHA, it's all right
+IronSilverMan I wouldn't want Jim-Robo-Bats for a long stretch, but I thought it worked well for the Superheavy storyline itself. (And it wasn't too bad in the Batman Superman book, either.)
Excited...love my DC heroes...been a fan for 40 years and I am a better man, husband, father, and teacher because I have these heroes in my life. Thank you, DC!
DC Rebirth was a very good relaunch and one of the best comic book moments of all time but with Doomsday Clock ending the rebirth era and going by a new title campaign called DC Universe. Geoff Johns and The people at DC never disappoint their fans writing and telling incredible storylines to things entertaining.
Rebirth all of the teenage superheroes, the JSA, your magic characters, even your villians need a rebirth
Especially Mr Freeze, they completely screwed up his origin
This is true but I think a bunch of the villains are better in N52, namely Ocean Master, Black Manta, Count Vertigo (Jeff Lemire is a genius) to name a few. The Villains month Vertigo issue by Lemire might be one of the best issues in all of N52 ever.
Just fix red robin tbh
Red Robin's fine the way he is.
+Lemuel Delvalle No he isn't, he's been stripped of everything that made him a great character, now he's only a shell of his former self
Wait, didn't they just reboot their universe last week?
Nightwing needs to be Blue and Black and he needs his own gallery of rogues that have nothing to do with Batman
Did I get emotional? Yes, yes I did.
I realize that people will be skeptical, they've heard it before, they think they've read everything -- I totally get that and appreciate and understand it. They should be skeptical! It's up to all of us to make our respective books worth your time and money. That's on all of us as individual creators. Jay and I try our best to make "Justice League" a book worth the time and money. Everyone has the same goal. To earn it. To give you something that only DC Comics can give you. With "DC Universe: Rebirth", I absolutely will.
Geoff is that you!?
+Howard Baity It's from an interview with Geoff when this info got revealed last night
My problem with this is the rotating artists and titles coming out twice a month. I can't double my comics budget so I'm at least cutting my comic titles in half to stay on budget.
+Cesar “Isaac” Perez But they also lower the price of some titles to 2.99.And not all titles are bi-monthly.Still,we might choose more wisely on these new titles.
I don't spend more than $20 dollar a month on comics, except for Christmas and my birthday.
We want a Shazam solo book!!! Come on, he is on the Justice League but doesn't have a solo title?? Why??
And I also would like to see Static in the main DC universe again...He is such an awesome character with a very interesting mythology...the Static Shock animation was part of my childhood and he deserves more respect!!!
+Hue Hue Poor static his series only got eight issues and then like many other heroes he was forgotten I wish they would just put him with the titans.
I know I'll seem bias, considering my pic, but Static most definitely got the rawest of raw deals since this reboot started. The potential the character and his world had was vast, and they simply didn't have enough faith to give it proper treatment or to stick with it. Read interviews on it, and it's depressing. I gave the New 52 a fair chance, buying pretty much everything when I could. But after, what, five years? I can say it's been a failure in my eyes.
Yes, we need a Shazam comic. It's a shame that at one time he was more popular than Superman. But now he's just a member of The Justice League. 😕
+KON- EL Agreed since they are having the Titans and teen titans what they should do is put static and miss martain with the teen titans and replace beast boy and raven so that they can be with the titans at least I hope that happens
But why would beast boy and raven leave they been with the teen titans for a long time. And honestly I'd take someone else other then miss Martian she did so little with the titans before the reboot.
Oh how I miss the excitement I felt when rebirth started. Please DC, do SOMETHING with Manhattan.
Rebirth is that thing that Dan Didio, Brian Michael Bendis, Jim Lee, Tom King & Bob Harrass Destroyed.
Why Jim Lee?
I just finished death metal and i’m just trying to get over and realize that the rebirth era is completely gone. *Sadness*
NIGHTWING!!!! #bringbackthebutt!
titans hunt
Lol, for all the Grayson fans, they know the names of Nightwings cheeks.
+Aang Revan No he is Nightwing again in Titans Hunt. Butt and all. Look up the cover to issue 5.
Women who read comics:
Nightwing's Butt: His butt is so sexy! ❤️
Spiderwoman's Butt: THIS IS SEXISM!!!
PATRIARCHAL CAPITALISM IS RAPEING MY SOUL!!! #CHANGETHECOVER THESE NECKBEARD SHITLORDS WANT WOMEN OUT OF COMICS!!!!! 😭🔫
Rey's cute Boyfriend i think women's butt are sexy too even though i'm straight. not all women are those kind of people bro XD
All of this sound really good, but please put red hood and the outlaws with a good writer. I really think the outlaws have a good potential and can become a canon team like team titans or young justice. Just need a good writer.
+amakaqueru33 But scott lodbell basically created the team? Its like saying I like the idea but I don't like the person who made it?
+KON- EL lodbell is good when he doesn't try to make things too serious, or when he doesn't try to do time travel things.
Fair points.
+amakaqueru33 They are based on the Outsiders Vol.2 so Lodbell created nothing in the end... Red Hood deserves a good writer!
So they were inspired by the outsiders big deal.
So happy Nightwing is back and that DC is bringing the core Titans.
Even more excited that Aquaman will be bi-monthly. The wait for new stories cut in half is a godsend.
The rebirth move is so smart, giving the main titles 2x a month is much better, while giving lesser known books the regular schedule of once a month.
Looking forward to The Outlaws coming back as well, wondering if Duela is staying on the team...
+Rock Roche I hope not starfire should come back I cant look at starfire the same way after what Amanda conner tried to make her into.
+KON- EL
I think they cancelled Starfire for that very reason. She'll be back with The Outlaws, but will the team now be four members.
I was thinking maybe even 5 or 6... If you think about it they could add Essence and Crux into the mix for a nice little team led by Jason with Roy & Kori as co-captains.
+KON- EL Awe I liked that book. That and Prez were my only big reads in DC You.
Though I enjoyed what I saw in Gotham Academy
Rock Roche I hope that is the case many people hated scott lodbell for his version of starfire (mainly the people who only know starfire from the TV show) but honestly once he finished his run people actually really liked her character. And many like myself were so confused on the version Amanda conner was trying to make. But I digress if they are adding new members to the outlaws I nominate ravager we got an alien an archer a gun user lets add deadly assassin/sword expert to the mix.
+KON- EL
Lobdell's Starfire was amazing... People that got angry were older fans who wanted a bronze age Starfire. The changes made to her character fit and gave her some depth.
Conner's Starfire was played too safe and tried to please SJW. It wasn't bad, but for a solo book the character didn't have much to draw readers in. Conner is a great at female characters like HQ or WW who are more violent/aggressive. The Starfire in her ongoing was tame.
I hope Cassandra and Harper are present somewhere in the new line of books. Maybe on a team somewhere?
+HollyTellingStories Perhaps the new birds of prey book?
+HollyTellingStories I really do not care about harper, but I want to see cassandra in a good book.
+KON- EL I've been wanting that ever since Harper suited up. I think her, Cass, Stephanie, and Julia should all be part of it.
+HollyTellingStories I like Cassandra but Harper Row needs to be gone, kill her character off, she's a wannabe Tim Drake
+Ritesh N You said it brother
Wild that it’s been a whole 7 years since this initiative. While I got into DC with The New 52 and didn’t really have that much attachment to the Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint Universe, I understand the need for Rebirth at the time and I’d argue it was one of the best long-term initiatives DC has done.
I'm from 2020. Rebirth is amazing
I'm from 2021. Future state is trash
@@yagiz.20 nah FS was cool. It had some good stuff like Wonder Woman, Justice League and Swamp Thing.
@@yagiz.20 yeah it is really bad and infinite frontier is so mid except nightwing was an amazing run
Almost 5 years later, it sucks that Johns’s larger plans were discarded. Oh well, I guess that’s what happens when you leave for DC Films... 🤷🏻♂️
But the rebirth stories were amazing
Rip new 52
So is it over now?
Ultra. The movie series yes
Bro I miss this era. Infinite Frontier’s been nothing but a huge disappointment. They never should’ve discarded Rebirth.
3:39 right in the middle of my finals, how convenient
Geoff please return the J.S.A. to there roots. I have enjoy every version of them from the golden age, the J.L.A. team-ups, the 80's, 90's and your near perfect run I have read it all(thanks D.C. archives). but I have also read earth 2 & earth 2 society. and the new 52 run couldn't be more jarring and more removed form what J.S.A. is about it feels like an elseworlds tale and a bad one at that. I just miss the history and how it was all canon from the 40's - today
Seconded. JSA is my favorite team of all time.
I didn't read the JSA much, but I always, ALWAYS, felt comfortable with their presence in the DCU. It gave that universe a sense of heart, which is something that's been missing since the reboot.
+lordbritannic Maybe an All-Star Squadron book for the JSA?
+Shock Vox (Soldier K) This
Tom Leonard would be good. I know some of the higher up's don't like that there like 20 people that have been fighting crime since the 30's and are all over a 100 years old but only look there in there 40's. I would have the team form in 1940(there first issue) and disband in 1951 (there last issue) have them disband because of the House Un-American Activities Committee and give them a time jump to now. they could use The Last Days of the Justice Society story to do it. that way they would be in there 40's in modern times. keep the ww2 history and dump all those extra years and have a All-Star Squadron comic and a modern comic as well
Who wish that flash point never made the new 52.
Why it was opening for great stories like The button and DOOMS DAY CLOCK and DC UNIVERSE REBIRTH
hope they bring back superboy prime, the original lobo and resurrection man
+Beyond Imperiex Current lobo already got rid of old lobo.
This man speaks to me, he's a guy who knows what he's doing not just a guy who comes up with great ideas. Those words "something is missing" that sums up not just the comic but the entire 5 year continuity, it's the most perfect dislike and story ever read and published all in one single comic. How it was done I'll never know 👍👍👍
Just bring back the pre-New 52 universe.
they wont rebirth theyre bringing back old series and keeping some of the new 52 series
I know that they aren't, but I still want them to.
When did this happen?
Ok thanks for the info
That would be the hardest thing because now we're alienating the New 52 fans and whatever established storylines the New 52 brought.
As someone who has been away from comics for the last couple of years, I'm excited to come back now with a fresh start. Plus, I'm even more psyched to see Nightwing will be back!
+DC Entertaiment
What will happen to the other characters from WildStorm Universe?
Mister Majestic, WildC.A.T.s, Stormwatch, The Authority, The Monarchy, Paladins, Planetary and more are simply brushed aside by DC Comics in last year.
If DC Comics is like stepmother for this WS characters they should be also a part of family...
+Zaren69mk I have heard rumor that since midnighter is getting cancelled we may see a new authority book. But yeah other then midnighter and griffter all the other wildstorm characters are being ignored for the most part.
at 3:35 on the blue curtains they show 6 superheroes without faces but a man with a cool haircut a jacket and the superman symbol (Superboy??), Next to him A guy with a hat?, then a guy with a hood (Green Arrow), Then after the hood a guy with the Flash symbol but you can see the top of his hair, Next to him a girl with the Green Lantern symbol, and finally Supergirl I think??, are we getting a look at some new/old ( redone or new costumes) heroes is that a tease or just doodling/concept art?
I'm a lifelong DC fan, and till this day remain so through much of the dreck they sometimes produce. What Geoff Johns says in this video could have been said before each and any DC event. "......we've been working for months and months and months with all the creative teams and editorial......zeroing in.......what we love about it, what did we love about it, what do we love about it.......build a better book, a better universe." So, it appears they actually do discuss characters and storylines, and how best to employ their "skills". Yet, what they often produce is subpar, not "universe changing", and doesn't effect "the status quo." What worries me most about "Rebirth", is the afterbirth that spills out from what they finally deliver. Only then, a few short years later, probably to have another DC event called "Reincarnation", mixing old with the new, still trying to get it right.
+Louis Riehm Some people are on here saying New 52 changed everything. You're saying the New 52 (and DC You, I guessing) didn't really change things.
+Samuel Otten Yes, the New 52 did change things, and not for the better in many cases. Geoff Johns spoke of discussing what was loved about the DCU and how to make it better. Did they make it better? No. Was it universe changing? No, not really, perhaps superficially. Is the status quo still in tact? Yes. And that's OK. I think the main point I was trying to make was every few years DC attempts to reinvent itself, only to realize they, again, screwed it up. And when promoting the next "event" they proclaim it to be the be-all and end-all of the DCU. Look at the opportunities they had with "Convergence", decades of past, present, and future characters to draw from. What do we get? Sometimes bad art, even the cover artwork was uninspired. The variants were just a half image close up of a single person, rather than images from a multiverse of characters. Story wise it was pretty uneventful considering its potential. "Rebirth" will come and go, and we will soon be discussing the next result of "months and months and months with all the creative teams and editorial" on how to best employ their skills at $4 to $5 a shot to read 18 to 20 pages of superheroism. I'm a lifelong DC fan, even though I gripe about it, but many people do. Anyway, it's just my opinion.
Louis Riehm
Fair enough. (And I totally agree about the Convergence variant covers. What a waste.)
Louis Riehm that's why I'm just going to start collecting the classics, instead. Nothing new to worry about, not having to buy as much to catch up, and it's also not terrible.
Bravo having Geoff Johns do this video.
It reminded me of watching Joss Whedon intro Serenity. Moving!
Rebirth is restarting nightwing. As much as I want that, I have really been enjoying Grayson
+TheZephyrStorm Yeah, Grayson has been cool. And the sales were pretty decent (30,000+) but I'm willing to give Nightwing a try, too.
+TheZephyrStorm It would have been great if he is a spy and a super hero at the same time that would be awesome
+Samuel Otten Grayson genuinely improves each issue. Once someone starts reading it and sees the constant improvement, they'll be hooked
Geoff johns storming in with his superman cape and greenlantern ring saving the day
Bring back Static with an ACTUAL story! :P
They were but now those plans are probably cancelled because he isn't a "core character" which in other words means they don't care about him because they don't think he will make enough money.
Yeah...unfortunately...
+MAZZ0Murder Milestone is trying to get back. If things work out you'll have a Static Shock classic on your hands within a year or two.
+ChrisLandEverything sounds good. since DC barely utilized anyone from Milestone...only ones I can think of a re Static, Hardware, Icon, Rocket, and Holocaust.
yeah where's static i miss that black electricity guy
Johns best green lantern writer
Finally, the new 52 is over. I'm going back to DC.
But the New 52 are ending, right? So, I'm right.
+Miguel Garay If you didn't notice this is New 52 part two, where we get rid of what succeeded in New 52 and DCYou so we can fail at reviving what characters were like 10 years ago and need to do another "not a reboot" reboot next year.
Miguel Garay No, you're not. Its in the same continuity as New 52. But DC hasn't used the brand in awhile.
Goddamit! I was just starting to get into DC and now you're going to reboot again?! *re-reads all major new 52 titles*
While this is all good and al I do kind of hate how some series like darthstroke cyborg and batman beyond are starting from #1 again. Seriously none of those books have even made it to #20 cyborg and batman beyond haven't even reached #10 and now they have to start from scratch?
Giovanni Alckmim Russo Yeah at least DC waited 5 years to do this . Marvel though take captain marvel for example she has been relaunched at least 4 times.
KON- EL Wow, four?
Giovanni Alckmim Russo Yup and all those times she hasn't even made it past 20 issues.
Giovanni Alckmim Russo What exactly even happened to bruce banner he seems to have disappeared after secret wars.
+KON- EL Bruce absorbed too much radiational energy that could've killed millions, Tony Stark, T'challa and others couldn't save him, the dude was gonna go off, Amadeus Cho showed up and said he could help. Fast forward- Cho is the new hulk. That's all we know. It's being slowly revealed in flashbacks each issue.
Geoff Johns knows what he's doing so I'm not worried.
I thought this was about Young Justice season 3
How frigging awesome would that be? I miss having DC Animation of that quality.
+Lateef Lawal there will not be a third season we fans have pleaded for years but dc won't give us any young justice goodness I know it's hard but we all have to realize that unfortunately we won't get it due to CN and DC being deaf to our fan voices
I thought there was a Netflix deal in place with Warner Bros, but I maybe wrong.
+Lateef Lawal Same
+Lateef Lawal no some months ago they confirmed that it was just rumors
DC should bring out villain centric comics.I would read it.
"Epic storytelling" Marvel got triggered
2:25- I remembered that.
Basically Season 2 finale of YJ but with his uncle erasing his nephew (and his Asian family), Billy Batson's kindness, Cyborg as Teen Titans member, and hope and joy out is existence.
DC Comics: Listening to what fans want
Marvel Comics: We need more feminine heroes, don’t listen to the fans
This is good for people who want to jump right in to reading DC and for the people continuing to read it
Rebirth is the pointless effort to fix what is beyond fixing....since Flashpoint DC continuity oficially doesn't Matter anymore.It is just pne big alternative universe , or omivers or whaterver.
You can make up your own timeline because EVERYTHING happend, and nothing of it is relevant....so if anybody is asking you if Wonder Woman OR Black Canary were founding members of the Justice League ...you just say "uhh...yes"
One thing I think DC need to have is a non-dedicated monthly title like "Adventure Comics." Unlike "Action Comics" and "Detective Comics," "Adventure Comics" was always the title that could feature any character in the DC Universe. As an example, Aquaman, Dial "H" For Hero, Supergirl, and Legion Of Super-Heroes were all stars of the title for a time.
In the same way, a non-dedicated monthly title would provide a home for characters that are popular but not popular enough to maintain a monthly title. Rather than give them a miniseries, just give the character a starring slot for a time, tell a great story or two, then let another character take the lead for a time. They could even go back to the old lead/backup format (first two-thirds of the issue features the lead feature, and the last third features a backup story [Huntress {Helena Wayne} was a backup in "Wonder Woman" for a time in this way]).
God, DC is superior to Marvel imo
William Hartnell at least the comics are
In animated movies, series and comics
But in live action they still need a lot of catching up to do
@@rileygallagher5484 hahahahahahahahhahaha
im so pumped up for rebirth dc comics are my favorite i like seeing how the same characters can be interpreted i really wanna see paul dini writting stuff his my favorite writter
This aged poorly
so excited! legacy is a big part of why i love DC comics, and i'm so happy you're bringing that back.
also, Blue Beetles! loved seeing my baby Jaime with Ted.
#saveseasonsix
season 6 of what?
+Jeffrey Mboya Probably Teen Titans.
Jeffrey Mboya I personally liked Teen Titans more. Young Justice took itself a bit too seriously.
+TheComicCrafter was my comment deleted??
but anyway, yeah YJ is serious, thats why i liked it but TT is not for me.
Jeffrey Mboya I mainly hated Young Justice for it's total inaccuracy. They took the small and comical squad of inept and untrained young heroes from the comics and completely rewrote them as a highly trained Justice League-sanctioned fighting machine that rarely smiled. That was never what Young Justice was about.
Perfect opportunity to bring in McCulloch, Mercer and Jesse back into The Rogues.
So this is bringing back the parts of DC we love without it being a reboot? I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Now THIS is how you get back to the core of DC Comics. Can't wait!
Did you ever just stop and think about how original Green Lantern is. No other superhero is as creatively done. His entire concept is just crazy. A test pilot who is given a ring with the power to create anything using his imagination and all those things are green. Its just ridiculous and how did they come up with that.
That's was a cool way to explain this. I'm new to the comic book scene and I'm really excited to see what's in store.
I've enjoyed both volumes of Batman Earth One and the Darkseid War arc is pretty fun to read. Both written by Johns. Those stories actually feel like superhero adventures instead of the teenage soap operas that make up a large part of DC/Marvel books lately. So someone over at DC must be listening to all the criticism the New 52 is getting.
Rebirth is essentially streamlining all the popular comics and focusing the attention on the core audience. There will be an 80 page Rebirth event that tells people the what happened that led to this point, there will be still be some continuity from New 52 and pre-crisis( i think). No more 7 Batman comics, 5 Superman comics, off-shoot titles that aren’t selling well. The only thing that irritates me is Blue Beetle is getting his own comic, but shazam isn’t. Seriously that guy has so much potential but DC doesn’t want any of it.
I like how it looks like we might be getting the ACTUAL Wally West back.
+Michael Warrick Post crisis wally west is not coming back. And for your info current day wally has been acting a lot like post crisis wally.
@@Burning-Twilight 5 years later, post crisis Wally is here to stay
@@michaelrhett4958 I am aware.
Ive never really cared about JSA that much but a Legion of Superheroes book would be awesome!! and let their home base be the Fortress of Solitude on Earth, and also the Fortress could be a space ship too, thats just my opinion but either way a Legion of Superheroes book with a reboot would be nice
I feel like you predicted Apokolips War
Poor Johns He looks a little nervous/desperate. Wish he sounded a bit more confident. Can't blame him though. So many are just completely fed up.
It's about time for DC's comeback.
please bring in tim drake he was my all time best robin. I still have the original comics with his debut. It was so good.
If DC gets us a new Deathstroke comic with Marv Wolfman writing and Tony Daniels on art I would be so happy.
Geoff is a genius so I trust him in waht is he doing and is very important that he is working with all the other writters :) DC comics have an enomours future in comics, games, movies, tv show really proud to be a dc fan
Rebirth = searching to change nothing.
I wonder who the mysterious narrator is going to be. Pandora? Brainiac? The Life Entity? My guess is Superboy-Prime
Since Justice League Dark is long gone this is a perfect opportunity to Bring Back Shadowpact.
I sincerely hope DC reads these comments. I'll say this. I'll give Rebirth a try IF it erases the stench of New 52. I know they've said it's not a reboot, but New 52 took most of the elements I loved about the DCU and tossed them aside. What I got was unrecognizable. People have pointed out decent books, and praised things like Aquaman and Court of Owls, but not only could these stories be told without the wholesale abandonment of what made DC classic and fun to read, but they're not good enough that I'd be okay with keeping New 52. As an old fan (31), I know my dollars and opinions don't mean a lot, but as a lifelong DC fan, I was sorely disappointed with New 52, and thus haven't made a purchase, in a long time. Whatever Rebirth is, and this video did /somewhat/ explain it, if it's marginally better than New 52, or better yet, heals some of the damage, then I'll pick it up. If it's a rehash or reshuffle of New 52, keep it. I'll wait for a reboot.
that mysterious narrator, I bet it's Superboy Prime
at least they are keeping the new 52 continuity canon like they did after "convergence", i think i am the only one who liked the new 52 and dcyou (they had their flaws but they were very entertaining imo) and i am looking forward for "rebirth" in may, bring awesome comics as always DC :)
Please come back to green lantern Geoff Johns. Venditti's work is killing me.
Lol y'all can start with whom I consider to be the real blue beetle, TED CORD!
+dcucfanboy He is alive and is going to be working with Jaime.
Can you make comics from the old continuity, DCU the new 52? I love different aspects from all of them! (But keep Robin: Son of Batman. I need those books.)
Personally,I think that the ex-sidekick is Nightwing
I'm just happy I have nightwing back.
they should fix tim drake because he had a really good run with red robin and how it ended just left me and people who read it hanging .. you know some closure or continuation would relly be nice .
So basically "rebirth" is about going into more about the character for example green lantern. He was about fear and courage
i dont have a clue why everyone is so up in Arms about this. its a Really Great idea and coinciding With the Movies is understandable. im excited to see Dc get back zu the roots.
the new 52 had some problems but gave us the court of owls which is an epic addition to the batman lore, death of the family was good, barry alen's return was ok but i'd like more hal jordan and martian manhunter and please give us an epic nightwing story
Thanks Geoff.
This actually sounds pretty intriguing. If they manage to get back to the essence of characters and, for the love of god, cut down on the number of event comics and crossovers I will actually get back to buying DC comics. Good luck you guys!
OK... For the first time in YEARS... It sounds like DC really IS getting back on track. Oh, please, let it be true...
Still didn't answer the question for most people but I kind of get it...... so here it goes I might be wrong guys, 26 yrs of reading comics has it's ups and downs for most readers, if you started reading comic books because of the movies, or now that it is popular in this era of super hero movies I suggest you pick up some old books, (comixology or the comic book stores) don't download them for free, support comic books to keep them alive.....
So they way he talked about his first Rebirth with GL and Flash, he took the characters back to their roots, DC comics in the late 80's was decent, then the 90's came and by the half of the 90's it it was a total mess ( not all of it) but there was so much things that made sense but still not necessary by 2005 all was fixed returning those particular characters we love to the way they were, THAT'S what he MEANS, (thou I could be wrong, but they say it's no reboot) new 52 wasn't a total reboot, they stayed with Batman as it was left, sure some things changed, but almost everybody loves batman since the start of new 52, so what we can expect from this is that they're grabbing the good elements of pre- new 52 and new 52, returning the characters to what they were meant fixing everything that's wrong, not with just some characters but with all of them, no messing with some arcs that made the characters great, so in conclusion we just have to wait, remember there's always cynical people who just don't like anything and always complain, some people may like rebirth, some may don't but like I said new 52 wasn't good, but some books were, lets just hope that all the books you like, turn out fine.
This is exciting. I was a bit skeptical about the changes in New 52. You guys have a good mold for certain characters, and you guys have made mistakes. But this'll make up for it hopefully.
I too have had the vague feeling of "something missing" ever since new 52. I don't hate new 52 like many people, but it's difficult for me to get excited about DC in comics because I much prefer the way the universe was set up pre 52 (for the most part). I hope rebirth does what Geoff says here and gets back to the roots of the characters while telling new stories (which I realize is very difficult to do considering the rich histories that all these characters have).
It sounds like they're just going to move the characters back to who they were before Flashpoint. Not bringing back the old universe, but just having the characters act more like the post crisis era.
If Batgirl got fixed that'd be A+
But mostly I just want to see some more mystic/magic characters back. After JLD ended, I haven't seen them anywhere and I just need more Zatanna, Deadman, Frankenstein and Black Orchid in my life. That's all. :(
Geoff Johns is gonna kill this. Can't wait
Curiouser and curiouser...
Go for it, Geoff! we trust you and DCs decision for this. :D 🙌
Geoff run of GL is legendary
