The Flamebird and the Nightwing. The actual Kryptonian gods.

I'd have them drawn to earth because this is where the last bits of Kryptonian culture and science are found. But once they get here they discover two mortals who have usurped the names (Dick and Bette, obvs) and the gods decide that those two would make excellent hosts. And suddenly Dick would find himself stuck in a "X-Men Phoenix" type of situation. The gods want to be worshiped and they're not going to be shy about pushing the earth pantheons out of the way. They're not going to be too damn pleased with Superman or Supergirl either, for failing to keep Krypton's culture alive. Can Dick keep himself and Bette one step ahead of beings who can bend reality and one-shot Superman? And if Dick can't, can he and Bette retain enough of themselves once they're bonded to prevent the gods from burning the whole world to ash?
This sounds very interesting—a REAL new direction.
