[QUOTE=CaptCleghorn;4408832]Bringing Ted back after a decade plus absence only to have him killed in a big-@$$ "event" when he had a much more dramatic death scene back in Robinson's Starman series is truly sad and pathetic.[/QUOTE]
Hopefully that’s not the case.

I certainly agree with you. But for this situation a cynical pessimism is unfortunately supported by past behavior.

I wonder how many JSAers will be killed this time.[/QUOTE]

I would think they'd have to prevent that since I imagine Ted dying before he should have would have consequences for the timeline.

Agreed. I believe this is a red herring.

It worries me that it looks like the League will have no memory of ever knowing the JSA. I hope they don't erase all pre-FP JSA appearances. Losing Johns' JSA and Robinson's Starmann would be sad.

I mean, I have no idea what the Doomsday Clock connection to anything is anymore but I assume the heroes will regain their memories of each other by the end of the story.
It would be kind of a waste just to see everything start from scratch.

That's been DC's go-to move for more than 1/3 of their history.

DC just doesn't seem to like the JSA. Apparently Didio's original plan for Infinite Crisis had them a few of them dying in it as well. And giving the book to Willingham and Guggenheim after Johns has to be some of the worst decisions made especially when there were better candidates to succeed him.

Judging by how they tell the stories of bringing back old characters or continuity in Rebirth, from Wally to Superman to Kon-El, that's how the story's going to start. No one will remember a thing. Then there will be some drama and conflict, but after the big climax... or the aftermath... the memory will return... or some version of it. A combination of what fans familiar from the past but modernized to fit with the current vision.

Yes, I cannot help but expect the worst.

After so many years of absence, i don't want to see Ted killed in a big-@$$ "event" and don't want another dramatic death either.

Hopefully we'll see Wildcat soon as well.

Well...
They've been lost for almost ten years now...

Unfortunately, I can't argue that :p.

I think right now the viability of any DC property depends on whether the architects care to use them, so the Legion have Bendis and the JSA now have Snyder.
It's unfortunate that Wally couldn't get the same kind of momentum but I think DC Editorial is super-strong when it comes to The Flashes otherwise Snyder would be writing Wally in [I]Justice League. [/I]
