Anybody else hope they completely do away with Robin and replace him with Nightwing with this reboot?

I hope they do something crazy and bring a new Robin in that isn't Dick or Tim.

Tim is so great as Red Robin, Dick as Batman, and Damian as Robin that it's gonna suck if the first two go back and Damian is just gone.

It'll start off hot and easy to follow like Marvel's Ultimate Universe did. In 5 years it will be full of min-series pointless crossovers and attempts to move away from the traditional characters and then slowly DC will work toward a Crisis like event to de-clutter things. And you know this how? As said it has happened before and will likely happen again. I know a few DC employees thought this wasn't going to be a full reboot but with the news hitting I am surprised. Years spent fixing the problems from the first Crisis, and then getting so many good stories rolling to phase them out and just restart? I am all for this so long as the overly wonky stuff from the Ultimate Marvel "modernizing" is left out.

lol, how is marvel overrated? they have some of the best books going right now. They do, but they're not as good as DC. punisher max tops any current dc title. you can quote me on it.

I like Kyle a lot. I felt like he kind of got shoved aside a good bit. Glad to see he might get featured a little more.

I think the idea of rebooting the books is OK , I just think its terrible Action Comic will get a new #1 after 900 issues and might now see 1000 in any of out lifetimes.

Apparently its exactly like what Marvel did with the Ultimate collection. Yeah, the more info that gets released, it sounds like the same old DCU just streamlined into a shiny new packaging. A few thoughts after looking around a few comic news sites: 1. I am laughing at how many people fan-boys are throwing around the phrase "Heroes Reborn" to describe the change. They don't seem that dramatic. 2. I hope the Comic Shops bitching don't mess this up at all. Digital comics are the future. The pricing changes do suck. $2.99 for the digital format is good (with the price dropping to $1.99 after a period of time), but the $3.99 in print cost and the $4.99 in print with digital download code is getting a bit steep. Comic shops could be going the way of book stores. 3. The JSA better have a damn place in the new DCU. 4. 52 new books sounds like a huge jumping on point, if the idea is to attract new fans, 52 new books seems a bit to many.

Bamtan #1 cover: Greg Capullo is going to draw it, no word on who's writing it yet.

That would mean Marvel lost the Capullo bidding war. DC is putting alot of effort and money into making this work.

Couple new covers: Swamp Thing by Yannick Paquette Catwoman by Guillem March Dective Comics by Tony Daniel and the most terrible cover so far: Nightwing by Eddy Barrows and Rod Reis.

Happy to see that Catwoman is definitely getting a reboot too. These all look amazing.
