Bleeding Cool Says DC Will Try To Remove Marriages After Next Crisis Event

[Rod G]

Everything in the rumor mill (and announcements like the price hikes) makes it sound like the DiDio/Lee group is ready to throw away all the goodwill of Rebirth and get back to their kewl modern New 52-ish state of things.

If we go back to pretending Superboy is Superman, I'm done.

What goodwill?

All Rebirth did was muddy things.

For you, maybe.

For a lot of us, it's been a welcome return to form with a familiar tone and feel to many characters that has strengthened the foundation for future stories.

[adrikito]

WTF? NO.. I can´t believe this.. Something is wrong here..

Or they will use something for erase Superman memory about Lois and the kid during certain months using Mister Mxyzptlk again(Bendis fault) and then... He will find them and remember everything or I can´t understand this.


With Superman son popularity, DC can´t erase him.

With Batman, I am not surprised. We know that this marriage is doomed.

[thanatoskun]

I really hope this happens.

[JAK]

There's no way they're that stupid. Marvel has taken nothing but flack when they tried to get rid of their marriages. There's no way DC can think that this would be any better received. Especially not since they've built up so much goodwill with the fans for bringing BACK so many classic elements through Rebirth.

LOL! The first sentence is, word for word, the first thing that popped into my brain! LOL

[superduperman]

Aaaaahhhh . . . who cares at this point?

That's kind of where I'm at. What's that hypothesis that says that if you replace enough parts of something it's no longer the same thing?

[JAK]

What goodwill?

All Rebirth did was muddy things.

Pleanty of goodwill. And Rebirth, while more muddy than it needed to be, led to Reborn - which has presented us with as unified as Superman as we could ever hope to get. There's no real way to make a 15-year timeline and get it better, incorporating as many elements from the various versions as will fit.

I'll be very surprised if this turns out to be true, but Bleeding Cool does have a fairly decent track record with rumors. They were originally the ones to break the news about the New 52 years ago. But this would be pretty extreme, even by Crisis standards. DC went to such great lengths to undo the New 52 and re-establish the classic DC dynamics. I don't see why they would just throw that all away, given how well-received it has been. Then again, we've seen shake-ups like this before so there's no telling what they'll do, especially with Bendis on staff. He did a lot of universe-shaking events with Marvel. Maybe this is part of that effort. Only time will tell.

I hate to give this any credit, even though Bleeding Cool has an eerie tendency to be right on the money with this kind of stuff, but if it does happen...DC will have really not learned anything from the New 52.

[Restingvoice]

That sounds too stupid to be true, but it will explain why Super Sons have to be out of continuity

"The Next DC Crisis May Remove Batman and Superman Marriages"
Ok I giggled a bit

Yeah, if this happens... there's no getting the readers back who leave at that point.

[Kuwagaton]

I think it's a troll job from somewhere but sadly I can't say it's impossible. I wouldn't drop Superman over a simple idea but that has to be the worst possible one. Unless the showrunners are secretly planning to run to Marvel after.

[superduperman]

It sounds like Didio REALLY wants a hard reboot and felt cheated by Johns not playing along with New 52. That having been said, I can't see how they can justify this with a financial argument like they could New 52. Johns is more or less out of the picture now with the exception of Doomsday Clock so if they are going to go through with this, it will probably be after that's done. Assuming Doomsday Clock isn't a part of it. The only way I'd support something like this is if it's a return to the pre-Crisis universe with an admission by DC that reboots are a bad idea. I don't see that happening either. At this point, all I'm really following are out of continuity stuff anyway. It looks like I made the right call.

[Frontier]

I do kind of wonder if this is partially why Bendis is moving Jon and Lois out of the Super-Books.

[JasonTodd428]

Didio and Lee have done some boneheaded things in the past so as long as they remain at DC the possibility does exist. All I can say is this IF this is more than a rumor I will be done with DC and with Big Two comics. I will take more of my money to smaller publishers like Lion Forge or Aftershock instead where this nonsense doesn't happen.

I do kind of wonder if this is partially why Bendis is moving Jon and Lois out of the Super-Books.

And separating Lois and Jon from Superman as well. Now things are starting to sound really sketchy on that front again.
