Sure, but I always got the impression that people mostly read it for Jessica. Baz is an interesting character, sure, but he hasn't seemed to have gained the same status as Jess. He's also in limbo right now so that says something.
Where is Boomerang currently anyways? When last has he interested with Barry?
I definitely think Jessica came out more as a highlight of the book, although Humphries wrote them both fairly equally in my opinion.
Jessica's status as the first prominent female human Lantern and relatable anxiety issues probably helped her stand out more.
If we're talking Boomerang 2, I don't think he's been seen since before the New 52.Where is Boomerang currently anyways? When last has he interested with Barry?
I don't think he ever interacted with Barry, he was dead by the time he came back, and that was part of Harkness' character arc in Johns' second run.
Superman focuses on his president of Earth duties
Batman will still be a mentor apparently and will also raise his daughter with selina
I bet Aquaman focuses on being king and raising his kid with Mera. Though with the timeskip, it's possible the kid is now a teen or adult so who knows.
Flash probably gets stuck in time or something.
Will DC even care to give Cyborg and Martian Manhunter replacements?
My bad, I somehow got my dates mixed up.
Cyborg is not really a person I can see HAVING a replacement. It's less of a superhero name, honestly. Also, with the new timeline he's not a founder anymore, I don't believe.
Manhunter... Probably not? They're doing interesting stuff with him in JL but what's the point of replacing someone that doesn't even have an ongoing. He's not exactly his own franchise. More likely than cyborg though. If only a little.
Also, I could see Flash going to the future cause of Bart or something.
I just heard that Boomerang 2 is going to be the Flash and this whole 5G thing gives me a similar feeling of WTF when I saw Scott Snyder's No Justice where he throws random characters in different teams because it looks fun. Except unlike No Justice where pairing Beast Boy with Lobo does sound like it could be fun because of the possible funny interaction, this one is just WTF.
Wait I just remembered...wasn’t there a recent-ish Suicide Squad issue that focused on Captain Boomerang where he met an existing adult Owen, so doesn’t he currently exist?
Edit: Issue 47 of Suicide Squad where Captain Boomerang ends up working with Australian secret service, Owen makes a return but nothing like he was pre-Blackest Night.

Completely agree I just remembered that he is indeed existing. But yeah so far it is the most far out there idea that confuses me, like at least the other characters could have good reasons for taking the mantle but Owen Mercer seems an odd choice. However who knows maybe someone will have a good story to tell with him, I’ll wait to hear who the creative team is.

When did they say Batman was having a daughter with Catwoman??
"Mark my words! This drill will open a hole in the universe. And that hole will become a path for those that follow after us. The dreams of those who have fallen. The hopes of those who will follow. Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, drilling a path towards tomorrow. THAT's Tengen Toppa! THAT'S Gurren Lagann! MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT CREATES THE HEAVENS!" - The Digger
We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.
