Yep, that and to avoid bad optics I suppose. Because if they did remove Cyborg from the JL now that John Stewart is there, they would've basically proven critics right that Cyborg was only there for his ethnicity and not because they thought he had value as an actual character. Besides it would've put both characters in a bad spot, since it would've looked like John was only added to replace another black character. They don't need any of that. So I would probably boil it down to Snyder not being interested in writing the character and/or the higher-ups not wanting bad press. In any event, Vic deserves better and I hope JLO does him justice.

I found the exclusion of Cyborg's own room in JL weird but his absence in drowned earth is even more apparent. Hawkwoman, MM and GL have all been written out due to plot details but cyborg doesn't even get alluded to. I don't think DC care about him being in JLO as he was also meant to be in both regardless of delays. I wish they would at least make an offhand comment to explain his absence.

Really going to miss Sejic drawing Cyborg. He’s looked so damn cool in the first two issues of Odyssey.
I wish someone would just ask Snyder on twitter about Cyborg's status in his book. It comes off as very disingenuous to keep putting him on covers or give him one-page cameos and then not even acknowledge him for awhile. Is he still a core JL member or not. If not, they should stop pretending otherwise.
So I'm looking at the variant for this week's issue #3 with Vic as the cover. What's the deal with him wearing clothes? Is this still happening?
Issue #1 had him in pants. Sketches showed him in a tank top. In-story he's still..."naked". Would it be beneficial to the character to start wearing some clothes?
First look at Cyborg
Not great but I’m gonna wait to see what he looks like in action. A lot of the tv show costumes look bad in stills but work for the actual show. The Flash costume looks kinda bad in pictures but works when we see Grant Gustin in motion.
