Random thought: Stargirl is getting a show next year, is likely to get a new book, she's been in limbo for years now, 5G will be the big thing next year...will they re-introduce Stargirl as debuting with the fifth generation?

Well he was also RedBird and he can answer that question after he hits puberty.
Isn't that the same for pretty much majority of legacy characters aside from Nightwing and Redhood?
I think Luke is qualified to be Batman. He is Batwing and has all the skills necessary of course Dick makes more sense but after the Ric nonsense I'd rather Dc focus on building his brand Nightwing back up with him in the Blue and Black.
Why Jon Kent not Kara or Conner as Superman is what I don't get.

Stargirl has been seen in New 52, albeit stripped of her JSA ties.
Rogue wears rouge.
Angel knows all the angles.
I'm a very casual DC reader and I'm interested in this new "replacements" I tied to get into DC last 2 crisis started reading a few book's from issue 1 but somehow old continuity comes back or they team up with Superman *snore* or Batman even bigger *SNORE* etc
Its kinda ridiculous if fans are thinking these characters are getting slighted in Any way
lol nah comic book fans are ironically (sadly) VERY resistance to changes in the status quo and quick to judge
It's not true. O believe this is what that poster is trying to reference.....

The character that is meant to relpace superman is itself getting slighted and had gotten slighted. Jon shouldn't be an adult, right now. Let alone superman. Bendis basically erased the kid and replaced him with his own teen version.so clark getting shafted and legion being ripped from him is pretty big slight. Now, he is not even gonna be superman. That's gotta be hard.

I hope not. Johns has been rather inconsistent scheduling wise lately.
As for the change aspect, I'd agree that no matter what they did, many internet comic fans would riot. We have no way of knowing the overall consensus of how people feel about this new timeline and 5G. In the end of the day, I'll read the good books that come out and ignore the bad.
But big Jackson Hyde becomes Aquaman, I'll read that no matter what.
Right now, skipping years. Especially, Cause bendis did crap job at the execution. As for growing, dick, wally.. Etc grewup grew up. didn't they? Jon was getting established as a character. He was getting a cast like kathy, bizarroboy, Hamilton county.. Etc. He was getting popular(heck! Many claim him to be the best new thing out of rebirth) and could have been a mainstay. Instead now, he got butchered to be made into clark kent-wannabe standin as superboy of the legion and now superman. This isn't going to work with superman fans.
He(jon) will give back his title. When it happens the character will be hated and might be erased or put back as a kid. Come on, they hated morrison "in-essence goldenage" superman(imagine superman fans hating original superman ) . No way they will take jon kent superman . That essentially means the character will lose years of fans and real development that sticks. So yeah! Skipping years sucks.

The type of aging that gen 2 got just doesn't happen anymore. Comics have really gotten static with characters from gen 3 and onward mostly stuck in the same age range (some even getting YOUNGER).
That's why I'm not so annoyed that Jon got aged before being young was cemented. That's why I'm also hoping this new timeline corrects some other ages.
Sounds awesome.
Been waiting for the old guard to step aside for years.
Seems daft to just straight up replace Them tho. There's undoubtedly going to be the inevitable backlash.
Never understood why DC don't take more advantage of their Multiverse for stuff like this.
