But if they want a Mister Miracle story that takes advantage of the character's lore and they think that for some reason the original Scott Free isn't marketable enough to new fans, they would just apply the predictable tactic to him instead. Don't get me wrong, to me Mister Miracle isn't the kind of hill worth dying on, but the more they make this kind of decisions even with characters that have little to no mainstream recognition, I think it's just more indication of how creatively bankrupt they appear to be.
    Yeah, this is the kind of race-bending that just seems really disingenuous to me. Especially when there's another character in the actual mythos who has the same race you're racebending the lead into.

    Maybe X-tract will be revealed to be . . . Hank Hall!

    Or maybe, now that you’ve blown his cover, they’ll change him to Captain Atom.

    I’d thought Williamson was talking about a surprise hero/member of the IF team, so I wasn’t talking about another villain, I was talking about a multiversal hero. I know people here are sick of Batman and don’t like the Flashpoint Batman, but I’m not and I do.

    Or this. This sounds cool too and makes a lot of sense.

    And then in Williamson’s big event next year Atom blows up and in his place Breach returns and we go full circle.

    So instead of Rebirth we'll transition to . . . Breach-Birth?

    Alright spoilers for a book that just came out today and read the spoilers if you want because I’m pretty sure it announced two books.

    spoilers:
    At the end of the Stargirl spring break one-shot it announced a Stargirl #1 with Emiko and Courtney going to go look for Wing of the Seven Soldiers of Victory who may still be alive, but after that we get a preview with Degaton getting clock king about hurting the JSA and I’m pretty sure the final page is a line-up shot for a brand new JSA series.
    end of spoilers

    Red Arrow can appear in both books. There is no reason why she should quit the Titans only because she is gonna appear in other series.

    Unless they give an official announcement, I'll consider this as another empty tease from DC.
