    Default Characters you expected to see in Rebirth, but didn't

    Just to get it out of the way, this was one awesome comic. It was wonderful to see some characters appear again or to see hints at future appearances. But it was a little surprising for me to see no mention of Ralph and Sue Dibny. Who were you surprised to NOT see?

    Conner Kent/Superboy. Especially considering how important that character is to Johns.

    Zatanna.

    Unless she was there. I haven't read it yet, haha.

    And of course, Kon-El. I miss him lots.

    No Booster Gold? No Rip Hunter? Considering the whole "time stolen" thing, one would think they'd be right in the middle of this. In fact, between the Legends of Tomorrow show, the rumored Booster Gold movie, and the fact that Geoff Johns is a fan of Booster, I am shocked that they were nowhere to be seen.

    And there is Bart Allen, of course, who I miss a lot, but I was not at all surprised by his absence.

    He wasn't even in the spread. Is he at all a part of any book coming up?

    Yeah, seconding no Booster Gold. With as much as the New 52 has been founded on time travel shenanigans, I'm surprised at his diminished role.

    I was hoping for the return of classic Lobo.

    This is not really expected more like I wanted to see him, but Midnighter would have been awesome to see.

    Also honestly surprised by lack of Duke Thomas and Kyle Rayner.

    Booster Gold, Kyle Rayner.
    Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)

    Not so much a character, but I actually expected the lost history (or at least memories thereof) to be returned. I didn't WANT it, but I was expecting it. I was surprised the very concept of "pre-Flashpoint" was and continues to be (other than as it was explained to Barry) limited to Wally's memories, and even those are fading.

    The real Alan Scott, (father of Jade and Obsidian), and Lightning Lad (father of Graym and Validus) one of the coolest selling points for Rebirth for me was talking about bringing back the JSA and LSH. However both were hinted at so hopefully they are in the pipeline for soon.

    They were technically in the big group shot at the end, but I would've liked to have seen glimpses of what the rest of the new Detective Comics team was up to during the actual story.
