Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman teaming up with Flash ( Wally West), The Atom ( Ray Palmer), Black Lightning, and Star Sapphire this Thanksgiving. Darkseid is said to be dead (temporarily it being comics) to kick off the relaunch. Also, it's interesting that "anyone who wants to join" can. That's better than the three of them carefully selecting their teammates and then whoever worked with them on a sudden mission was the team like in Meltzer's run.

I have been anticipating with reservation The Last Halloween mini-series. One thing I noticed in the solicits had been confused. Is Loeb going with the idea that Barbara is the niece and adopted daughter of Commissioner Gordon? Why? The Long Halloween is so good why mess it up with Frank Miller's brain fart?

Absolute Batman details

Spoiler:
1. Jim Gordon is acting Mayor of Gotham

2. Babs is a police officer and a POC much like she is in Caped Crusader and the abandoned Batgirl movie

3. In another case of being all too frightfully similar to what Marvel is doing, Martha Wayne is still alive (just like Uncle Ben is alive in Ultimate Spider-Man)

Remember when comics were about punching bad guys and all the relationship stuff was background window dressing at best?

Dan Didio returns to pen a very special Nightwing story for DC's "I Know What You Did Last Crisis" halloween special and it's...something alright
Spoiler:

Thanks to a sudden heel turn from Conner Kent, Dick is thrown into a time trap where he is continually killed in an infinite number of realities. According to Conner, killing Dick actually leads to a golden age of heroes and all the sidekicks are allowed to move on and grow up. Tim Drake becomes Batman and Conner ends up staying in a relationship with Cassie, sharing a house with her. The two are content and happy together...provided Conner keeps the time trap hidden

Zdarsky leaving Batman in March or April of 2025. He was due to leave this November but the new team needed more time.

That team is the reunion of Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb

Latest relaunch/rebranding, restoring the Justice League and putting away Amanda Waller for a time, also some of the familiar DC heroes have new powers replacing their original skills (it's about as dumb as it sounds)

Meanwhile, Darksied tricks the League into banishing him to the 'Elseworld Universe' so he can reign over it as it's god and he ends up creating a world where being a hero is to be the underdog continually. This is a whole other line called DC Absolute which has their own versions of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman with their own creative teams.

I just read Green Lantern Civil Corps Special and for those of you also reading the Green Lantern title I have a couple of questions that left me confused. Who is this that looks like Guy Gardner with a cowlick? What is this about third and fourth dimensions that Alan Scott was talking about when acting as a distraction?


Also, whatever happened to the Guardians? It seems corrupt head of the Green Lantern Corps angle continues, but not with Tharros, but a pair of The Council of Elders who whoever they are. Its one of those plots that just need to not be repeated over and over. It seems like Jeremy Adams was told he had to change things up for All In, but did not want to lose the corrupt head of the Green Lantern Corps angle so that was his solution.

Vertigo is coming back to DC and it will run side by side Black Label

Conroy confirmed on Twitter that the return of Vertigo doesn’t mean that DC Black Label is going away. In fact, Conroy revealed that the two will continue, with both publishing their own specific types of comics.


Quote:
“DC Black Label continues, with some red-hot stories for DC’s superhero characters still on the way for years to come. Vertigo puts us back into the creator-owned business in a very big way. Yes, I’m running both; no, I haven’t lost my mind yet.”

Ram V is not done with Batman

And big spoiler for Tom Taylor's Detective Comics

Spoiler:
We're introduced to Joe Chill's daughter, who Thomas Wayne and Martha took in after the child's mother begged them to help her fake a miscarriage because Chill was abusive. Scarlett ended up in the Wayne orphanage system, and knows Bruce from childhood
