I'm hoping that the entire foster family will be back. Billy on his own never really interested me as much as Billy, Mary, and Freddy together did; and I'm willing to allow Eugene, Darla, and Pedro to grow on me.

I feel like they kind of takeaway from Billy that there's so many. Like, Mary and Freddy is one thing, but a whole team of six from the get-go? And Billy still has to be the main character in it all.

Not that I dislike the other kids.

7 issues in one month with Waid and Yang writing it? Hot damn I’m actually excited for an event!

[sifighter]

So the new announcement is Lazarus Planet, spinning out of Batman vs Robin and written by Mark Waid. It will be multiple one-shots beginning in January and ending in February.

It will star Batman, Damian, Powergirl, Monkey Prince, Cyborg, Poison Ivy, and etc.

Looks interesting, a bunch of one shots seems a little odd though.

(edit: big spoilers in the dc blog that is linked)

Waid and Yang writing a story together seems like a recipe for success.

Other thoughts:

- Power Girl ends up possessed by Lilith/Omen?

- Raven has siblings now? I guess that saves her from dealing with Trigon for the umpteenth time. Maybe.

- Dreamer is now in an event, to emphasize she's becoming a bigger deal.

- Mercy is getting her cybernetic upgrade, I assume.

- Batman becomes Dr. Fate? Jon becomes Superman Blue?

- Red Canary is there for...reasons. Even though we know barely anything about her.

- I hope Cyborg gets a redesign out of this. He desperately needs one.

- Which Question is in Gotham? Probably Montoya I guess. It feels like DC keeps forgetting Vic Sage is alive.

- New hero named City Boy and we're getting a new Firestorm?

Didn’t Raven have siblings pre-Flashpoint and in the New 52?

[Morgoth]

Batman becomes Dr. Fate?

He's getting his helmet in Batman vs Robin, judging by one of covers. It seems like he's going to use it for a while, maybe to protect himself from being transformed.

Seems interesting. Glad to see some characters that fell in limbo back (like Omen).

[Digifiend]

Yes, Raven does have siblings. Six pre-Flashpoint and three different ones in New 52, so this is presumably the latter set returning.

I guess, Justice League, Titans and Green Lantern titles will be revealed by Lee tomorrow.
And Superman/Batman plans will be revealed this weekend at their panels, obviously.

So where's Damian in all of this? He is front and centre on the cover but not part of heroes transformed and I can't help but notice that City boy is mentioned in connection to Gotham.

Imagine if that's Damian's new identity.

I miss Williamson's Robin.
