I might be reading too much into this but I get the impression Dan Didio and Geoff Johns are trying to sabotage each other. The reason I think this is the change in approach to DC the last few years. Didio was gung ho about starting Nu52 several years ago and now it does not look like he is as excited about the Rebirth. I read years ago that Didio and Dan Jurgens disagreed about what to do with the Justice Society during Zero Hour. I understand Didio wanted to get rid of them and Jurgens originally was going to do something similar to The Last Days of the Justice Society by placing them in their own universe. I know Didio also wanted to kill Nightwing during Infinite Crisis. I have also heard some of the 52 series writers say that Didio believed Countdown was better than 52. Johns has said that Doomsday Clock is 1 year ahead of the regular DC comics and that by the time #12 comes out all the DC books will catch up with the events in Doomsday Clock. In an interview Brian Michael Bendis said one of the things that drew him to DC is the plans Didio has DC. Now he is doing a Superman story that is being compared to Man of Steel in the sense a new beginning. If this is true how will this fit into the plans being laid out by Johns with Doomsday Clock. Also Didio now has the new titles spinning out of Metal which is partially his idea and he is showing the same enthusiasm for them that he showed when 52 launched. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes so based on this are Didio and Johns fighting for the direction of DC or am I reading too much into all this?
