Rumours and news about DC Titles: 2022 edition

[Hypo]

Presumably we'll get the Future State JL for a few months at least then.

Umm...so how the heck does this effect the Action Comics run, Williamson's Batman, Aquamen, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman if you are literally killing all but one of these characters?

[Dr. Poison]

I hope there won't be a long stretch without the League since they were absent during Death Metal for a bit. I'm all in favor of a new roster though I hope Black Canary & Green Arrow stick around but Black Adam, Hippolyta, and Naomi get the boot. Once the team reforms, I hope Black Lightning and Vixen are there full-time.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm assuming staggered timelines. If they were taking all the characters off the board they wouldn't have bothered including Arthur in Aquamen to begin with - just delay it to post-Justice League #75 and do a Jackson book.

That has been done already and would be a little too predictable. I could see using some of these characters but not all of them(mostly because most of them are too young to be on the team just yet). I'd prefer interim line-up of:


Batwoman
Steel
Mera
Donna Troy
Green Lantern(Hal)
Flash(Wally)
Black Lightning
Dr. Light
Vixen
Constantine

Are they saying the characters themselves actually "die"?

Isn't it more likely the concept of the (Bendis) "Justice League" that "dies' / ends and the characters themselves are still alive?

The interview makes it sound like the heroes get wiped out harshly by whatever Crisis Williamson's doing, except for one lone survivor.

I don't care about this at all, i'm just hoping this "event" doesn't bleed into other titles. Hopefully is contained only to the JL book.

There is a cover with their caskets.
But who cares, if DC had the balls to kill all their main characters they would have done it with their 5g plan.

I forgot there's a game called "Kill The Justice League" coming out this year. Of course.

[Digifiend]

That HAS to be a fakeout.

The art is incorrect. If Clark's in space, he'd no longer be on the team - either it should be Jon (who is called in in the Legion team-up), or Superman shouldn't be there at all. Also John Stewart doesn't currently have his Green Lantern powers.

And you forgot about Naomi's solo book.

That's impossible. Jess Quick is AU and hasn't yet been brought over to Earth-0, and Aquawoman is currently an Aquababy!

Oh my god...WE killed the Justice League!

Jackson, Jo and Yara might take over for a while.
With Batman it's interesting, because it's the main book, and it doesn't seem like they're going to let Jace headline it, otherwise Ridley would get the book instead of Williamson. Maybe Bruce is the one who survives.
And I have no idea about Action Comics, I hope Warworld Saga wasn't cut short.

[DragonPiece]

I guess it’s possible this takes place after the warworld saga to explain why Clark is there..

I like it, in concept. The League has been kind of "blah" under Snyder and Bendis. Which is not a typical message board attack on either, I've enjoyed a lot of work from both of them. I just don't feel they ever really made the JL feel "big and important" to the readers. Just my opinion.

So, this can act as a palate cleanser, clearing the concept off for a few months. And then come back with a clean(-ish) slate in the late summer/fall. Hopefully, with a mix of traditional members and some new blood.

[Morgoth]

Let me guess - JL disappears, new generation takes over for a while, when during Crisis they get their asses kicked by Darkseid/Empty Hand/whoever is going to be antagonist of this ****, and original JL returns to save the day.
