Official : Bendis gets both books

[Yoda]

I'm not sure how that's going track with Rucka's Rebirth run unless the Gen 1 Wonder Woman was Hippolyta.

It sounds like they are going to incorporate the reboots into it with Crisis on Infinite Earths and Flashpoint being part of the timeline.

Oh, if we're counting the reboots then....

So year 18 where Clark stops being Superman, are we assuming that’s when Lois becomes pregnant and he has to hide? Or is that just when he does after doomsday?

None of this works as a straight timeline. Oz Effect is listed as happening in Generation 4. This has to incorporate the Metaverse in some fashion. BC's speculation that Doomsday Clock was out of continuity seems to have been off, because I think even Doomsday Clock is on that timeline somehow.

Where is everyone seeing all of this?! Is there a clear version I'm not aware of, or has hitting the ripe old age of 26 gotten to me? Can someone break it down for me?

It's blurry as hell given the low resolution photo, but you can make out various words and phrase. Superman's timeline is the Blue one second from the top.

But this also gave us the new DC Continuity Timeline that Dan DiDio has been promising since San Diego Comic Con – that includes Doomsday Clock, JSA and Legion… and everything. And they promise that this is happening. In full. And they are sticking to it.

Okay so then am I to understand that more than just generation 1 has been shown? Are we seeing 2-4 on that chart, or has it just been confirmed somewhere? Like, where does it say Oz Effect on the chart?

Edit: never mind. I see the link. I just assumed it was going back to the same image we've already seen. Thanks, Yoda.

He's transcripting most of the timeline.

The giant chart shows Generations 1-4. Oz Effect is under what I think is "Rebirth" next to the Metal emblem.

Some new Legion stuff

[Pohzee]

"Jon" returns from the future "/aged." De-aged? More aged?

[Superlad93]

"Aged"

They seem to be talking about his time in space/Earth-3, but I guess they abbreviated it, the whole Unity Saga, and gearing up for the Legion as what we see there.

I guess internally that's what it's known as right now because upon signing Bendis made a manifesto that encompassed the Unity Saga as a map to the Legion. The major point of the doc being to age Jon, set up the Legion, and send him there.

Alternatively, there's the theory I had that originally Bendis may have wanted Jon to have spent those years in the future before the formation of the Legion (possibly getting the idea for the UP there), but early on he decided not to, and shifted to what we have.

I don't really have much of anything backing this, but it seems possible early on.

From Bleeding Cool:

"Bleeding Cool understands from comic professional gossip at New York Comic Con this past weekend, spinning out of our reports on the new DC timeline, that it is planned by DC Comics editorial that Jonathan Kent will now return from the 31st Century and the Legion of Super-Heroes to the present day (whenever that is now meant to be) as a young adult.

At that point, I understand that Jonathan Kent will replace his father, and be the new Superman.

And this will be the new status for the Superman comic book titles at DC Comics, Superman, Superman/Batman, Action Comics, Lois Lane, Supergirl, Jimmy Olsen, Justice League and more going forward.

The Superman books are currently written by Brian Bendis, and it looks likely that this is part of his plan going forward. Previously at Marvel Comics, Bendis saw the Ultimate version of Peter Parker, Spider-Man, die and replaced in the role by his creation Miles Morales. Could we be getting a similar story here?

More on this story and other DC Comics plans from Bleeding Cool today."
