DC 2017

Nigga', you better provide source, or nobody cares.

>we already know the next big crossover is about Dr. Manhattan
>OP claims it's Red Lanterns
lol

>>85449363
Implying Greg Rucka won't throw a hissy fit and quit in 6 months.

>DC may eventually have to cave to Rucka

Why? Harley sells more than Diana does, currently.

>>85449363
>*Another reason people are hating Rucka's guts: he's openly politicking to steal Harley Quinn from Amanda Connors. DC may eventually have to cave to Rucka, so they are basically trying to offset things by offering Connors a Justice League International ongoing, under the notion that Connors could make the book a commercial success and allow them a means to boost Blue Beetle's Hitch's JLA's sales

Will we see Milestone again ?

I just want the Legion back. Just don't give it to Levitz or Hickman. Also Shazam and JSA

>>85449439
Who cares?. Conner & Palmiotti off Harley is good news

>>85449484
Supposedly were gonna have Wildstorm and Milestone announcements at NYCC

The next big crossover is going to be about Harley Quinn. She is going to be the one to kill Dr. Manhattan and steal his powers.

*"John Stewart: Yellow Lantern" would be one of the books launched out of Red Dawn if it gets approved, along with a new Omega Men book and a new Starman book that would feature Will Peyton as the Golden Age Starman's illegitimate son and basically turn Will into a replacement for Jack Knight, as far as outright replacing Jack in DC canon since they can't use him.

*Superboy Prime is going to be the "powerless" Clark Kent. He's still an asshole but is now on a leash due to him knowing about Dr Manhattan (who freed him and believes that he succeeded to kill him when he realized that Prime is a jerk) and pretending to be powerless so that Manhattan doesn't try and kill him. He's going to be pretending to be Clark for the evilulz but quickly fall in with Lex when Lex learns the truth about Post-Crisis Superman to mess with Clark's head.

*New 52 Lois's big revelation before her death hasn't been decided upon yet. It was tossed in as a red herring by Bob Harras (who has a history of doing similar stuff with Spider-Man and X-Men) but nothing has been decided yet for what it was Lois realized.

*Jonathan Hickman submitted a pitch for DC for a Legion ongoing, which was rejected when Paul Levitz was allowed to read it and basically shat bricks at some of the stuff Hickman wanted to do. Hickman made the pitch with DC having an eye towards relaunching Legion as a "Young Animals" book (mainly as the centerpiece of a second wave of Young Animals titles) but since Levitz has friends at DC and considers Legion his baby, Hickman's grim and gritty Legion is a no-go.

*The pitch, in particular, had among other things: Brainiac 5 going evil, several major Legion members dying (including the founding three), some risky sex stuff, and Mon-El's entire backstory getting the "Anatomy Lesson" treatment as far as revealing he was never from the 20th Century and was created by Brainy.

*There are talks about reviving Brave and the Bold, as a Nightwing/Wally West team-up book

>>85449363
Dogfucker is gonna headline a DC event

This is Amamzon Attacks all over again.

>>85449439
Yeah and they made Conner and Timms exclusive because Harley is DC's fourth pillar lol

>>85449411
We were always going to get something before that. The Manhattan thing is in two years not one year. But I don't believe the red lanterns part. That seems dumb and even Green Lanterns itself doesn't seem to be building toward it and it's the only book with them.

>>85449579
>but quickly fall in with Lex
At first I read this as "quickly fall in love with Lex"

It's the fact that this might be true that makes me sad.

Is Rucka always an insufferable cunt?

>>85449579
>Superboy Prime is going to be the "powerless" Clark Kent. He's still an asshole but is now on a leash due to him knowing about Dr Manhattan (who freed him and believes that he succeeded to kill him when he realized that Prime is a jerk) and pretending to be powerless so that Manhattan doesn't try and kill him. He's going to be pretending to be Clark for the evilulz but quickly fall in with Lex when Lex learns the truth about Post-Crisis Superman to mess with Clark's head.

This is how I know it's a lie

It will never be Prime Time again ;_;

>>85449411
Red Dawn is a stop-gap event tossed into existence when DC decided to drag out the confrontation with Manhattan. Also, in a bid to recapture the lightning in the bottle that was Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night with the Green Lantern books, who's sales collapse has been a major issue within DC.

The Manhattan arc will be advanced with the return of the JSA during Red Dawn, since they and the Titans were the only active super-hero teams on Earth at the time Flashpoint happened. There is a reason WHY the Titans got fucked hard by Manhattan and why the JSA were flat out purged from the timeline and why Wally in particular was singled out for unperson status. They were the ones who stood against Manhattan when he put time in the blender and were singled out for special retribution as a result.

>>85449579
>a new Omega Men book

Yeah, I doubt this is real.

That said, I'm surprised of how much of a control freak Rucka is. Is he really that good that DC will cater to him?

>>85449363
>*There is also talks about rebranding John Stewart as "Yellow Lantern"; giving him a yellow power ring to ensure fans stop hating on him for upstaging Hal and giving him his own book to try and relaunch a new space theme subline.
What the fuck? That doesn't make a goddamn bit of sense

>>85449753
because op didn't think this out very well

>>85449579
>along with a new Omega Men book and a new Starman book that would feature Will Peyton as the Golden Age Starman's illegitimate son and basically turn Will into a replacement for Jack Knight
clearly both of OP's posts are entirely lies

>>85449753
Yeah. You'd think John would go Blue or Indigo.

>>85449579
I like the idea of superboy prime having an important part to play, but this really sounds like that gentry pasta that was going around a few weeks before rebirth first came out.

Rucka must have some very incriminating pictures of DC top brass.

>>85449439
Rucka wants to do something new and since Harley is the newest superstar at DC, as well as being one of the main Batman characters he hasn't done much with, that he feels "entitled" to her. Especially since he's still bitter at DC for the Earth One debacle and made it clear that his return to DC hinges entirely on him getting the Bendis treatment, where basically he is NEVER told no and all of the other writers have to do as he says/that he can veto them or outright ignore them if he feels like it.

>>85449753
Because the Sinestro book sold for 2 years

>>85449363
>plans to decipher Donna Troy and her backstory are now off-limits

lol yessss

why the hell would Rucka want Harley?

and Red Dawn is like literally happening right now

>>85449822

>his return to DC hinges entirely on him getting the Bendis treatment, where basically he is NEVER told no and all of the other writers have to do as he says/that he can veto them or outright ignore them if he feels like it

That seems like a recipe for favoritism and bad writing.

It's supposed to be all the writers being on an equal field, with the editor in charge making final calls.

>>85449579
>*Jonathan Hickman submitted a pitch for DC for a Legion ongoing, which was rejected when Paul Levitz was allowed to read it and basically shat bricks at some of the stuff Hickman wanted to do. Hickman made the pitch with DC having an eye towards relaunching Legion as a "Young Animals" book (mainly as the centerpiece of a second wave of Young Animals titles) but since Levitz has friends at DC and considers Legion his baby, Hickman's grim and gritty Legion is a no-go.
I know all of this is bullshit, but I hope this is true. The world doesn't need another shitty, dark, Legion run.

>>85449792
While I think one of the lanterns should spend some time in another corps from crowding like when Guy went Red.
John going Yellow makes little sense unless it's a "Let's go undercover plot!"
John going blue would be most preferable.

>>85449363
> In particular, all of the other writers must now get his approval for anything Wonder Woman related

Considering how shit Wonder Woman has been in everything outside the Azzarello run, i'm okay with this.

Most of this sounds like the the bullshit "Wally will come back with the JSA in Jay's role" fanfic that was posted a few months ago.

>>85449579
>The pitch, in particular, had among other things: Brainiac 5 going evil, several major Legion members dying (including the founding three), some risky sex stuff, and Mon-El's entire backstory getting the "Anatomy Lesson" treatment as far as revealing he was never from the 20th Century and was created by Brainy.

And this is really and not really believable even from Hickman. I can't imagine anyone who is a Legion fan actually suggesting any of this.

>>85449579
>it's another anon doesn't get that Hickman was joking post
Why is OP so stupid? The man's recent talk about creator-owned work made it quite clear that's all he wants to do right now.

>>85449484
In the works but plans have taken a hit due to Christopher Priest (who was hired back with the intent to secretly manipulate him into writing the characters full-time) refusing to have anything to do with them and actively threatening to kill/rape/maim them in Deathstroke if they try and force him to write any of them. Which he can do, as like Rucka, Priest made damn sure to get rather large scale creative freedom to come back to the company.

Which means if DC doesn't play the situation correct, Static Shock, Icon, and co might only come back to be killed off for good.

>>85449822
Yes, YES! Rucka, take Harley away from those two, you have my support

>>85449883

Yeah, optimism is part of the appeal.

Tho Legion being wild and in the Young Animal line sounds rad af

I don't think he'd kill a bunch of people and make Brainy evil either.

>*There are talks about reviving Brave and the Bold, as a Nightwing/Wally West team-up book

This tho! *chief kisses fingers*

>>85449897
>John going Yellow makes little sense unless it's a "Let's go undercover plot!"
which was what Guy was doing with the Reds initially, that would be dumb to rehash it with John

John as a yellow makes zero sense, Hal and Simon are most closely associated with Yellow anyway and Guy is the one that used to use the yellow Qwardian ring. making John yellow isn't getting him out of anybody else's shadow or doing anything unique with him

>>85449933
The last part would be fucking hilarious

>>85449933
And OP just reached too far and revealed that he's full of shit. From an interview with Priest:

>As a Milestone fan, I want the back catalogue readily available. I know that is something you guys have said will happen. But I think the bigger concern is growing new talent, like Milestone originally did with John Rozum, J.H. Williams, John Paul Leon, ChrisCross. What kind of processes are you guys implementing to try and bring up the next generation? Because if we still continue to feel under-represented it 25 years later, how do you guys feel like you can personally tackle that?

>Priest: I don’t know. What I’m doing with Milestone is I’m kind of playing a Geoff Johns [creative executive] role. I’m not specifically writing a comic book. I am doing some writing that I can’t announce yet because you got creative and you got business. The creative is solid. We’re good. Jim Lee, Reginald Hudlin, Denys Cowan… we all love each other. It’s this pesky business stuff that I have no idea what that is or what’s going on with that.

>But what I understand is Reginald probably has a closet full of submissions in. People who are trying to work with us and things like that, that are going on. He’s very interested in new talent and that’s basically the impetus that brings him into this.

Yessiree, he sure does want nothing to do with Milestone!

>>85449599
It's his swan song. After Red Dawn, there is going to be a new Green Lantern writer.

>>85449727

Prime coming back as a Superdick version of Clark Kent was one of Geoff's ideas he came up with on his way out the door. Basically "redeem" Prime by forcing him to pretend to be Clark and slowly grow into the role of a hero dealing with Lex and his schemes.

>>85449916

I'm trying to figure out the point of Anatomy Lessoning Mon-El. Like Brainy made a Computo that worked before Computo?? And never told anyone?? and sent him back in time to be a hero???? and it removes all of his loner/man out of time stuff. it's like turning Captain America into a robot Tony made

>>85449363
>Greg Rucka's throwing a lot of weight around, quickly making everyone hate his guts. In particular, all of the other writers must now get his approval for anything Wonder Woman related

Not likely. The WW book is being run by the batbook editors. So in other words, the other editors aren't going to go to their rivals to get approval on anything. OP doesn't know what he is talking about.

>>85450001

Can your opening act also be your swan song?!??

>>85449363
Humorless Cunt Greg Rucka to write Harley Quinn

I'd believe Mark Waid coming back first before I believed this.

>fan-fiction: the thread

everyone go home.
none of this is real

>>85449788
DC has wanted to capitalize on Starman for ages but have been handcuffed due to the agreement made with Robinson to not let anyone touch Jack Knight after the series ended. Rebirth is going to let them basically say Jack was erased from canon/retcon Will Peyton as Ted's kid, and basically redo the series with a character they can actively use.

>>85449792
The Yellow ring is more iconic and Indigo/Blue are support rings not offensive weapon rings.

>Red Dawn is the title of the current Green Lanterns arc
Come on OP

>>85449933
Well now we know this whole thread is a lie because Priest himself has proven you wrong. He sounds like he's pretty involved editorially rather than "refusing to have anything to do with them". From SDCC:

>I have to ask about Milestone Media, which was announced as coming back last year.

Priest: Yes. I’m meeting with the guys on Sunday.

>Who are the guys?

Priest: Oh. Reginald and Denys.

>As a Milestone fan, I want the back catalog readily available. I know that is something you guys have said will happen. But I think the bigger concern is growing new talent, like Milestone originally did with John Rozum, J.H. Williams, John Paul Leon, ChrisCross. What kind of processes are you guys implementing to try and bring up the next generation? Because if we still continue to feel under-represented it 25 years later, how do you guys feel like you can personally tackle that?

Priest: I don’t know. What I’m doing with Milestone is I’m kind of playing a Geoff Johns [creative executive] role. I’m not specifically writing a comic book. I am doing some writing that I can’t announce yet because you got creative and you got business. The creative is solid. We’re good. Jim Lee, Reginald Hudlin, Denys Cowan… we all love each other. It’s this pesky business stuff that I have no idea what that is or what’s going on with that.

But what I understand is Reginald probably has a closet full of submissions in. People who are trying to work with us and things like that, that are going on. He’s very interested in new talent and that’s basically the impetus that brings him into this.

>>85450060
No!, Let me believe! I want Palmiotti off Harley

At least Hickman was finally gonna embrace the 31st Century sexual options that Legion should have

>>85450060

but then you don't get to make fun of it

>>85450001
So Dogfucker is going to write a single 2 year long arc?

That book sales is going to go in the shitter faster than a prom night baby.

JUST MOTHERFUCKING BRING BACK DARKSTARS OR SOMETHING, JESUS!

John Stewart as a Yellow Lantern is fucking stupid. He never messed with the ring before and fear doesn't suit him.

The whole deal with John is that he's a believer. He'll delve into things and immerse himself too much into what he's doing. It would made much more sense if he was a Blue Lantern or something.

>>85450037
Waid coming back might actually happen. Why else would he tweet they were having dinner? Something is up.

>>85450199
Begging Waid to write Man of Steel 2

>>85449897
The plan is that John gets the ring because of the whole "Blowing up Xanishi" stuff. IE the rest of the universe fears and hates his guts because of how he arrogantly trapped Martian Manhunter into a cage because he thought he was better than MM and ended up getting an entire planet full of people killed.

The idea is that DC knows only social justice warrior types likes John but they can't sell him to casual white fans. So they are going to try and embrace the hate angle, but in outer space so that they don't have to worry about the social justice "hate whitey" angle driving away fans like it does in the Marvel books.

>>85449916
When Hickman was asked to pitch Legion, he was told he could create his very own version of the group, not bound by previous incarnations. Hence him wanting test tube Mon-El and Evil Brainy and dead Imra, Garth, and Rok.

And evil Brainy is because Hickman is a huge fan of the infamous Legion storyline were Brainy went evil and he wants to bring the character back to that period characteristic-wise.

>>85450246
Stop this. Nobody fucking believes you, dude.

>>85450246
What are Rucka plans for Harley if DC gave in?

>>85450000
>>85450097

Priest is spinning and playing the PR game. He doesn't want to alienate the black community/SJW types (who can ruin him with accusations of being an "Uncle Tom") by telling them he wants nothing to do with black super-heroes/being pigeonholed once again as only writing black characters.

Priest is pretty red pill. He finds social justice warriors and their ilk a cancer on comics and hates their guts.

>>85450246

>Brainy went evil

that's not even the story line

and why would he want his own version? all the fun of Legion is the history. and he's on record as a huge fan of the Levitz run. otherwise you can do a creator owned sci fi book.

also i demand more details this is great.

>>85450246
Brainy didn't go evil though. Try not making shit up for franchises you're not familiar with famalam.

>>85450246

DCAU fans are all SJWs now, are they

>>85450321
Enough.

>>85450321
Holy shit you're insane.

>>85450246

>can't sell him to casual white fans

what is jlu

what the hell are you talking about "in outer space so they don't have to worry about sjws"

tho it all being going back to "Blowing up Xanishi" stuff is pretty credible and believable of DC

>>85450321
you already fucked up m8, just stop posting

>>85450012
Basically Mon-El was created in a 30th Century lab by Brainy as a new member of the Legion and that Brainy fucked with everyone's memories to "insert" Mon-El onto the team with his (now) fake backstory about being stuck in the Phantom Zone for 1000 years by Superman.

Basically recycling the fan theory about Laura Gand from the 90s (where she was a Brainiac 5 created clone of Supergirl who he created on the downlow) the same way other Legion fans turned writer have recycled similar theories in the book (like Garth being Proty, Element Lad being gay).

>>85450246

But i'm white and i love John Stewart. Hal Jordan is obnoxious, especially after Johns. It's always THE GREATEST GREEN LANTERN OF ALL TIME with him.

DC trying to get Priest to secretly be in charge of all their black books but him not wanting to is a hilarious image tho OP

>telling them he wants nothing to do with black super-heroes/being pigeonholed once again as only writing black characters.

this is great, like he's not openly said that shit as recent as SDCC

>>85449363
90% of that actually sound awesome, too bad its fanfiction bullshit...

>>85450321
Anon Priest doesn't care about those people

He straight up said he said yes to writing Deathstroke because Slade isn't black.

>>85450405

How is there a 21st century record of the dude?!
Why even do this? What's the point!??!
What about Phantom Zone people?

>>85450317
Crime noir. Harley as a shrink to the super-villain community who makes money treating Batman's villains for their mental disorders. Her and Joker interacting a lot, with sexual tension galore and Poison Ivy as a morally ambiguous figure who you don't know if she truly loves Harley or is only with her because she wants to torment the Joker and prove she's a superior villain by stealing his moll.

>>85450326
Brainy went insane evil and the whole storyline was so widely reviled by Legion fans that they spent years trying to undo it with several retcons in order to reset the status quo and make Brainy good again/blame everything on Pulsar Stargrave.

It's one of the reasons why DC has been dragging their asses on the DC Archive series, as they are fast approaching that period (#244-280) where that arc played out and are afraid the die-hards won't buy the overpriced hardcovers containing that arc.

>>85450576

The Legion line has long been dead. They drug their feet mightly on getting the last volume out

>>85450389
A lot of JLU fans are SJW types who use that to justify wanting John pushed and the white Lanterns done away with.

>>85450471

>*Greg Rucka's throwing a lot of weight around, quickly making everyone hate his guts. In particular, all of the other writers must now get his approval for anything Wonder Woman related and that as such, plans to decipher Donna Troy and her backstory are now off-limits. The only compromise DC could squeak out between Abnett and Rucka is that Rucka can ignore what the Finches wrote regarding Donna but he can't really establish a new origin for Donna until Rucka is gone, creates one himself, or gives Abnett permission to do so. This is the main reason WHY they had to change the plot of the next couple of Titans issues, as Abnett was going to lay the groundwork for retconning Donna back to her Titans of Myth origins and lead to a storyline where the Titans of Myth come back with more Star Children to try and conquer Earth.

eh, i'm okay with this

>>85451187
That doesn't make sense. Why would he do Flintstones if he was mad instead of just going back to his own stuff?

>>85451187
he's writing flintstones

so what are the chances we can get rich johnston to report this on bleeding cool?

>>85451193
Atom and Shazam will be part of the Red Dawn storyline.

There is talk about Johns letting Ordway write Shazam, since they are friends and Johns knows that his version of Cap Marvel was not well received. He thinks Ordway, who's run Geoff used extensively for his portrayal of Black Adam and Captain Marvel, could revitalize the character and make fans happier than if he wrote the book.

>>85451281
Hey everybody start pretending you believe OP's shit so Rich reports on this

>>85451227
Russell is playing the game, not wanting to burn his bridges with DC in hopes that they might some day let him continue with Prez, which is his passion project.

>>85449579
>New 52 Lois's big revelation before her death hasn't been decided upon yet. I

Why would they kill Lois that's she just got her powers?

>>85451281
OP needs to post a fake ID from WB or DC offices.
Also, somebody needs to directly report this to Rich. He's probably asleep, being British.

>>85451295

Now I want this bullshit to be true. Don't play with my feelings, OP.

>>85449363
Please fire Cucka. Preferably with actual fire.

>>85450974
Harley making a bunch of money for DC allows them to publish smaller books

>>85449727
Ok no way this is true I thought DC was done with that physcotic little bastard

>>85451329
>passion project

He literally didn't even come up with the idea and had never heard about Prez until DC pitched the reboot to him. Come on man, at least make sense when you're bullshitting here. This is easily researchable.

>>85451195
Nobody fucking liked the 00s Quinn book.

And Cucka waged a one man crusade against the concept on males in the Batfamily.

This the faggot who got rid of Alfred and gave Batman a female bodyguard.

The backlash against Cucka's Batman run is pretty much the reason Hush sold so well.

>>85451295
>Atom and Shazam will be part of the Red Dawn storyline.
How does that make sense? Rebirth clearly setup Ryan going into the Microverse to save Ray. Any rumors on if/when we'll actually get an Atom on-going and who'll be writing?

>>85451329
he has a story arc written and two issues already submitted to DC but they shelved it because sales were shit

>>85451429

Wrong.

>>85451353
Fake out for a big surprise.

>>85451425
Russell got a big head when the book was one of the most critically acclaimed of the DC You relaunch.

Fun fact: he had written scripts for two additional years of Prez, when he was under the assumption that the book would have been renewed past the first year, before the book was prematurely canceled.

>>85450867
The presidential race is so retarded on its own that it has successfully killed all political humor.

New 52 Legion was on Earth 2 and then it wasn't (JLU)

It's a mess

What harley is now js complete trash. She less of a character than Lady Death, she is an accepted cheesecake only cause she is insane.

Lady death has a more conplex character than her

>>85451483
Pretty sure it was just the adult Legion stuff from Morrison's run that got erased because of Universo's election causing armageddon got changed.

>>85451650
Lemire pretty much just ignored the last 5-10 issues of new 52 LoSH and added in some Zero Hour Legion characters which was smart and probably the best decision. Would expect whatever comes in Rebirth to be similar.

(also OP is full of shit obviously)

>>85449363
>*There is also talks about rebranding John Stewart as "Yellow Lantern"; giving him a yellow power ring to ensure fans stop hating on him for upstaging Hal and giving him his own book to try and relaunch a new space theme subline.

Will Desh kill himself?

>>85451478
He had more scripts than that. Scripts that have been passed around the office, which got favorable enough reaction internally, that DC offered him the Flintstones gig.

>>85451383
How is the Power of Shazam?

>>85451662
Cho's said nothing about GG. Nigga just wants to draw some tig ole biddies, nothing wrong with that.

Also, Rucka identifies as a woman. He's a bit of a SJW.

>>85451785
Well he started that webcomic after the Rebirth announcements didn't give John top billing. I think this might tip the scales

But will Batgirl and Nightwing fuck?

>>85451856
I don't think Desh could resist posting about John and I haven't seen any new Johnfags on CBR so probably not

>>85452025
>Also, Rucka identifies as a woman. He's a bit of a SJW.
wut

Note to OP.

Just fucking stop it.

I know you are pissed Ed decided to end things with you, but he's a married man for fuck's sake. Also, fuck anyone who thinks that dried up Crypt Taker says about Trump blowing up the world would lead to a Socialist paradise being built on the ashes. Thinking we can survive four years of that Nazi scum is reasonable grounds for a break-up, even if you give the best head this side of the Appalachian Mountains.

>>85452022
It's pretty good, worth a read.

I think it started the older Billy trend though if that bootyblasts you, he was like 14 in it.

>>85449363
Does Rucka think he owns Wonder Woman or what?

>>85452062
No, Nightwing and Huntress will. And Nightwing will probably stop by Teen Titans for a quickie with Starfire

>>85452022
The Graphic Novel that launched the series is shit but the ongoing is pretty good. Ordway basically brought all of the insane Marvel family shit back to the DC Universe after DC banned Mary and CM Jr and their ilk from canon following Crisis.

He also created the concept of Black Adam as a misunderstood anti-hero and created the concept of Sivana as Lex Luthor's business rival and Mr Mind being part of a hive mind of worms.

>>85452205
Too good to be true, much like the Wally teamup book.

>>85452115
He said somewhere that he "feels like a woman trapped in a man's body", or something along those lines.

Oh come on.....

Maggie had no clue Ed was married and quite frankly, Ed led her on.

And who cares about politics. For fuck's sake, it's bad enough all of our friends are actively shitting and pissing over the election as it is. I can't wait for the election season to be over with so I don't have to fucking walk around eggshells because our friends who support Trump keep getting into flamewars with our friends who support Hillary or who support Bernie!!!!

oh for fuck's sake just wait a month for Jurgen's to get to his Clark Kent storytime and then we can say OP is shit.

>>85449363
>*The plot of Red Dawn is still being worked out, but it will be similar to Forever Evil in that the Big Guns will be taken out by the Red Lanterns early on. The plan currently, is that the book will feature a slew of "lost" heroes reappearing to stop the Red Lanterns. In particular, the JSA will make their triumphant return in this arc.

Fucking bullshit, they wouldn't be setting up all these Lanterns just to get them out of the picture.

>>85449579
>Levitz said no to Hickman's LoSH
GODDAMMIT LEVITZ.

>>85449363
>*Another reason people are hating Rucka's guts: he's openly politicking to steal Harley Quinn from Amanda Connors. DC may eventually have to cave to Rucka, so they are basically trying to offset things by offering Connors a Justice League International ongoing, under the notion that Connors could make the book a commercial success and allow them a means to boost Blue Beetle's Hitch's JLA's sales
I'm not sure I'm willing to sacrifice the JLI to Connors/Palmiotti just so we can have Rucka try to fix Harley.

>*Jonathan Hickman submitted a pitch for DC for a Legion ongoing, which was rejected when Paul Levitz was allowed to read it and basically shat bricks at some of the stuff Hickman wanted to do. Hickman made the pitch with DC having an eye towards relaunching Legion as a "Young Animals" book (mainly as the centerpiece of a second wave of Young Animals titles) but since Levitz has friends at DC and considers Legion his baby, Hickman's grim and gritty Legion is a no-go.

It's time to let it go, Levitz. You're not writing the Legion anymore.

>>85452321
Or we can say OP is shit because his stuff contradicts things we've already heard or are just against common sense

>>85452445

>>85449579
>*There are talks about reviving Brave and the Bold, as a Nightwing/Wally West team-up book

Make this happen, please.

>>85452447
Except Ed's got the most to lose if Trump gets elected. You can't expect a man in his position to stand idly by when people he has casual affairs with (and his marriage? it's an open one!) tell him point blank to stop being a crybaby about the possible election of a man who's policies would do him harm?

Maggie's not the only ex-lover who Ed has blocked for spouting garbage about Trump Presidency not being that big of a nightmare.

>>85452481
>Also Rucka has the right to choose whether his book's art resembles softcore porn

And he chose to allow it based on the Scott and Sharp stuff.

Johns isn't writing any books so he can't stop it anon
It all makes sense

>>85449822
Honestly now that DC has lost Johns for the time being, we could use a "main" universe writer.

I'm not sure he's the right guy, though.

>>85452692
Ed's bisexual and Hispanic. He would fall prey to Trump's anti-Hispanic policies and whatever anti-gay legislation Pence pushes to be made into law in Congress under Trump's watch.

>>85452790
Johns is basically head editor for all the books and it sounded like it would go on for a while rather than just at launch.

>>85452703
I think OP means the JLA will disappear and the JSA and other "lost" heroes will make their return to hold the line while Hal gathers the rest of the Lanterns together to be the cavalry that actually fights the final battle.

>>85452804
DC hasn't lost Johns, he's still apparently steering the ship with weekly meetings with every writer. He's just not writing a book himself at the moment.

Okay so this major event is a crossover with The Watchmen?

My apologies, I've not been following it.

That has me genuinely wondering:

Are they going to bring The Endless into this?

They used to be directly connected to the fabric of DC/Vertigo's Reality, then a bunch of reboots happened.

>>85449579
>>85449363
Okay OP I'm gonna bite and play along with you.

Do you know any of this?

Do you happen to know what it is that Tom King pitched to DC?

What is the new JLA book about? Who is writing? What is the line-up?

How are they fixing Superman's continuity?

Is Booster Gold coming back?

What is happening with Tim's generation? Conner, Cassie and Bart. Are they coming back?

Rumored writers for Shazam? Atom? LoSH?

Is anything with The Question coming up?

What could be writing next the guys that currently are writing just one title?

I didn't know facts were sexist. Actually, I wasn't too sure if you were baiting or not until you replied.

>>85452965
The idea of Rebirth is that SOMEONE, presumably Dr. Manhattan, fucked with the universe during Flashpoint. He stole 10 years worth of moments- first meetings, key relationship moments, turning points for character development.

There was Pandora(from Trinity War and Trinity of Sin) that got killed in the same way as Rorschach.
There's some guy calling himself Mr. Oz in the Superman books, generally being suspicious, but not outright sinister.

Just read DC Universe Rebirth.

>>85452965
Johns intended the Trinity of Sin to be the replacement Endless but dropped it once Neil came back to write Sandman Overture.

>>85452969
Grant Morrison has first dibs on anything Question related and as far as he is concerned, the only Question that is allowed to exist is the Earth 4 version. We pray Rucka never tries to dust off Renee as Question, since that would mean another Earth One debacle but this time, us potentially losing Grant Morrison's services for another five plus years.

Cassie was supposed to show up in Titans in the Titans of Myth storyline which Rucka vetoed. She would have been picked by Thia to replace Donna as leader of the Star Children that the Titans kidnapped and raised.

Bart is MIA for good, especially since there has been talks about giving the Impulse name to Wally.

Ordway is up for Shazam but no contract has been signed yet.

Brad Meltzer has made a pitch towards writing Atom but his pitch had nothing to do with the set-up from Rebirth so it will be a no-go.

>>85453307
This is probably the biggest indication for me that they'll put with Bart with LoSH soon, he didn't need to be in the issue at all but he was there and the books sort of use continuity at the time of their writing like how they had the DCYou costumes in the first one

>>85453250
Okay but DickBabs, DickFire, or DickHunt?

Fake spoiler man why did Waid and Johns have dinner together?

>>85453718
They fucked

>>85453561
None of the above.

Current plan is Dick/Donna, partly to give justification for why Dick is in the Titans and because Abnett only agreed to write the book if he could dictate storyline direction not be a slave to the whims of the Batman editors.

So Dick/Babs and Dick/Huntress is dead and buried until further notice, no matter how much furniture breaking and crying the Batfamily writers and editors engage in.

And Dick/Starfire, while it is being restored to canon, isn't going to happen again anytime soon due to them on different teams.

>>85453842
>Dick/babs
>ever dying
This is how we know you're a fake.

>>85453718
For Geoff to gloat about how better DC is doing than Marvel.

Also, for Waid to get reassurance DC didn't lie to him about canceling the Flash by Mark Waid book just so they could "resolicit it".

>>85453842
Fail, Titans is already moving with Donna/Roy

>>85453859
It's going away. They want Nightwing on the Titans and Abnett wants Donna as Dick's OTL.

The editors on the Batman books were livid when they were told that Dick/Babs was dead.

But they have to suffer the death of the 'ship since Nightwing became sales poison when the editors used the reboot to reclaim Dick and make discontinuity all of Dick's Titans adventures. Nightwing sells far better when he's getting his dick sucked by a Titan, not one of Batman's female sidekicks.

>>85453842
>Dick/Donna

But this is gross and incestuous. And her and Roy were being lewd last issue.

>>85452922
This sounds good. Too bad it's going to be written by Humphries if true.

>>85453979
Donna/Roy isn't happening, because they are going to bring Cheshire and Lian back to cockblock the reunion, causing Roy to want to back away from relationships so he can concentrate on raising his kid.

Donna and Dick will then hook up on the rebound.

>>85452851
How can Eddie be gay when he's known throughout fandom as the creepy sexual harassing douchebag DC won't fire?

>>85453250
>>85453250

>Trinity of Sin
>Replacements for the Endless

Well shit. I kinda hope that this is a near full Vertigo crossover.

If the Endless were to come back they'd be pissed. Death and Destiny especially but Destruction may be pissed enough over someone undoing his siblings to take up the mantle again (especially for dearest Delirium).

Hm. I hope Neil lets that happen.

>>85453018
>He thinks he's woman, therefore he is SJW

keep on shitpostin

>>85453998
But you said Rucka has control over Donna, and he works with the Bat editors.

Explain that.

Leaker tell someone in charge to get Linsner on a Zatanna monthly Black Book #3 was so great.

>>85453896
So, Waid isn't coming back to DC at all?

DC could use some real talent, and Waid does WAY better in DC than Marvel.

>>85454101
I've heard that rumor before, that part of his behavior was because he was closeted or something. But they might have been mixing it up with the Dark Horse (I think) guy who would harass men.

>>85454113
The Endless won't reference all of the shit going on in the DC Universe when they come back. Neil made it conditional of him letting DC do more spin-offs of the Endless/Sandman universe, that they exist in their own little bubble world where the New 52 and Rebirth never happened.

>>85454177
He was pretty bad in his last DC years. I don't want him back unless it's editorial.

What's Jason Fabok and Ivan Reis working on?

>>85454307
This. I need to know.

Reis better be working on Rise of the Seven Seas. Nobody can draw Aquaman like the fucker.

Does Johns actually ship Hal/Sinestro or did he accidentally write them as gay soulmates?

Is Grant Morrison involved in any of DC's future plans?

>>85454149

Part of the compromise between Abnett and Rucka over Abnett using Donna, who Rucka doesn't give a fuck about (he's a Cassie fan).

Rucka has to let Dick/Babs die so Donna/Dick can live as the OTP, in exchange for being allowed to cockblock Abnett from being allowed to touch Donna's convoluted origin outside allowing Abnett pretend the Finch run never happened.

Rucka hates doing this, but a pissing match with Abnett (one of the few guys who made Bendis back down when Bendis tried to fuck with Abnett at Marvel) would make things harder for him succeed with Operation Steal Harley from Amanda Connors.

Rucka has considerable power, but Abnett won't take his shit and Titans is considered a higher profile book than WW in the grand scheme of things in Rebirth in terms of priority.

And if Rucka made a scene and forced Donna/Dick to not happen/pull Dick from Titans, then certain editors who already don't want to make Amanda leave Harley Quinn, would tell him to write a Donna Troy ongoing and cockblock him from touching Harley, since he wasted too much valuable capital trying to pull a Byrne and yank Donna from a book where she's a commercially viable character in.

>>85454190

>They exist in their own little bubble world where the New 52 and Rebirth never happened

Doesn't that mean they're technically MORE likely to reference everything going on if they show up? It's way more believable that the Endless are watching all this shit going on with some sort of Reality TV in Death or Delirium's domain.

Watching, waiting, but not interacting with at all.

>>85454307
they're both on Suicide Squad

>>85454528
Will Tim die? Will Jason be revealed as gay?

>>85454551
The plan as it is, is to basically just have whoever writes the Endless spin-offs ignore the DCU in general.

Neil and other people at DC don't like the idea of having the Endless as part of the DCU and regret allowing it to happen in the first place in the late 80s. Especially since it has created all sorts of issues with pitching Sandman as a movie/tv show, since the Infinity Inc/Doctor Destiny stuff has to be omitted and creates holes in the plot that they fear fans would not accept being rewritten.

>>85454528

wait he hates Donna but doesn't want anyone else to give her backstory??

>>85454688
>since the Infinity Inc/Doctor Destiny stuff has to be omitted and creates holes in the plot that they fear fans would not accept being rewritten

Where can i read more to get the background on this please?

>>85454752

??? that first arc has Sandman meeting a bunch of DC Characters to get his shit back is what he's talking about

>>85454551
Well I feel dumb.

For some reason it had never occurred to me that the whole DC Universe thing would be a problem.

And I've been following the whole Spiderman/Fantastic Four/X-men/Rest of the Marvel Universe Movie Multiverse debacle.

Bluh, okay, I understand why the Endless haven't been in anything.

Also why the Endless haven't been referenced in Lucifer (the TV Show).

Also why the Endless may not appear in American Gods (the TV Show) but it'd be so cool if they could.

All because part 4 of The Sandman ties it in with the DC Universe proper.

Neil would have to genuinely re-write that part of his story somehow in order to let some of his most interesting characters appear in his more expansive works.

I have sadness now.

>>85454635
>Will Jason be revealed as gay?

As if Scott "I'm not Bendis" Lobdell would do such a thing

>>85454752
Dr Destiny was the final act villain in the first Sandman trade (his magic ruby is one of Morpheus's talismans). Issue #6 of Sandman is the infamous "24 Hour" story where Destiny terrorizes and murders a group of innocent people and #7 has Sandman beat him up to get the talisman back.

Also, in Infinity Inc, Fury got knocked up by Silver Scarab, who dies and has his brain put into the body of the Jack Kirby 70s Sandman. They go into the Dreaming at the end of Infinity Inc since Silver Scarab can't live in the real world in his new body.

Neil had Morpheus kill Silver Scarab while mocking him as a fake replacement for the "Real Sandman" and then starts scheming to steal their baby as his heir apparent. In the end, Loki manipulates Lyta into summoning the Furies to kill Morpheus after Loki makes it look like Morpheus kidnapped/killed her son, ironically causing the kid to become a new host for Morpheus's power as the new Dream of the Endless.

>>85454528
So whatever Rucka has planned for Harley and that crime noir story, whatever is the fate of Harley & Ivy?

>>85454898
The main reason though is that Neil Gaiman is a shithead who's pissed off that Greg Weisman (of Gargoyles, GL:TAS, Young Justice fame) used Death in Captain Atom without bending the knee and asking Neil for permission/final approval of the issue in question.

After that, Neil refused to sign a new contract with DC unless they banned all other writers from using the Endless (save Destiny, the one that Neil didn't create) in other DC mainline books without his permission.

Keith Giffen had to kiss Neil's ass to feature Death in a cameo role in his Legion final issue and Paul Cornell had to outright beg Neil to let him do the Death/Lex Luthor issue and even then had to let Neil rewrite the issue too to allow him to use her for both one issue and a later cameo in Action #900

>>85454816
The Land of Mists (I think is the part 4's title) goes into it more fully.

The Batman villain gets his hands on Dream's gemstone that he put a shit ton of dreamy reality warping magics into.

Dr. Fate then walks into a homestyle diner and experiments with it's capabilities on the people within. He makes them think a whole lot of things are happening that aren't, a lot of them tame or sexual until he strips them of their humanity.

Then the bigger male rips the throat out of the smaller male for supremacy over the females.

Shit just gets worse from there.

After getting his Gem back, Dream hands the villain over to the Justice League.

>>85455135

>Keith Giffen had to kiss Neil's ass to feature Death in a cameo role in his Legion final issue

that's not true, no one was paying attention to the book. that's why he did the event that had her cameo ffs

>>85449363

Yeah fuck off

>Regarding the possessiveness of fans-turned-pro and their attitude towards other creators’ “mistreatment” of their favorite characters, I vaguely remember hearing that Roy Thomas was so enraged by reading the issue of Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” where the Hector Hall Sandman was dismissed to the afterlife, that he tore the book to shreds and sent it back to DC.

Why the fuck do both companies try to stick that man onto just writing black people? He's good at it, but he has constantly said that he hates when that happens

Broke up when Harley realizes Ivy never loved her/manipulated their entire relationship so that Ivy could humiliate Joker, in retaliation for Joker mocking Ivy as a villain.

>>85455394
That would be a cool story though no way DC would risk pissing off the Ivy/Harley shippers by debunking the relationship with noir level predatory lesbian shit.

It's not up to Lobdell. In fact, because of Lobdell's spat with SJWs on Twitter, Geoff Johns is forcing Lobdell to write Jason as bi in the future. There will be a moment where Jason seduces one of Black Mask's men to get information.

Lobdell was only allowed to write Red Hood and the Outlaws as long as he followed editorial orders. A lot of the initial Rebirth arc was plotted by editorial. The main reason Jason is infiltrating Black Mask in the first place is because editorial wanted to revisit the only good story Jason has had since his resurrection. Lobdell is only there to fill in dialogue, and after that Twitter incident, he's been given specific orders to not have Jason show any romantic interest in a woman.

>>85455394
>>85455457

On a side note, it would make a lot of sense. Though Joker would have to kill Ivy once the reveal is made to keep him from coming off as a cuck.

>>85455512
What Twitter incident?

>>85455167
Dr. Dee was the worst part of Sandman

probably accidental. I bet he thought he was writing them as just REALLY CLOSE FRIENDS. Classic 'DC writes gay without meaning to'

don't care though, they're gay soulmates

I'm not black just because I say I am, senôr. It just means I'm crazy. Same goes for Rucka and CWC. By believing they're a "male lesbian" and by expressing regressive ideals they are indeed justifiably considered an SJW.

There is no mess

If you keep telling yourself that, maybe it'll become true.

>>85449474
Which blue beetle? jaime or ted? cause i love both so i want both to be boosted.

>>85456780
Seeley doesn't really care either way. In fact, Seeley and Rucka, both being of the "progressive" type, already have a plan to deal with the fallout, by making both Barbara and Helena bisexual, and the Bat office will have to follow them (and keep in mind that Seeley technically created the new Helena, while Rucka considers pre-Flashpoint Huntress to be one of "his" characters). Dick turns down Barbara in Nightwing, and then Helena in Birds of Prey, so they end up hatefucking each other. This leads to additional tension among them in the Birds of Prey book.

>Weird War Tales will be revived as a horror anthology

>Tom King

I hate the little bits of good rumors in this bs

*Booster Gold is set to appear in Blue Beetle later in 2017 and later in the year or in 2018 he is going to spin off into his own ongoing. DC are having trouble finding a suitable writer, they've approached Christopher Priest but he is very busy at the moment with researching and writing Deathstroke, if Priest declines the DC will look for a young new writer and gamble.

*Brendan McCarthy is in talks with DC, he will draw the last issue of Dr. Fate and has pitched a mini that he will both write and draw.

*DC are trying to groom Steve Orlando and put him on a flagship title to build up his name and create a fanbase that will follow him on obscure characters. He has been spending a lot of time brainstorming with Geoff Johns so his next project will either be JSA or Shazam.

*Weird War Tales will be revived as a horror anthology. DC have approached Garth Ennis, Tom King, Jimmy Palmiotti, Brian Azzarello, Sam Humphries, Bill Sienkiewicz, Jae Lee, Phil Winslade, Ryan Browne and Ryan Kelly to work on it.

>>85457007

Why must you taunt me so.

DC you can have this one for free

Brave and the Bold lettering/title/design, the words The Brave/The Bold are in Flash/Nightwing font and colors and they switch every issue. (So issue 1, in the title Brave and the Bold, Brave is in Nightwing font/color, Bold is in Flash font/color)

Unrelated we gotta bitch at Marvel for a Vision Omnibus.

Guys, only the rumors with asterisks are from the OP. Dick/Donna isn't happening

>>85457133
So no bi Jason, Helena, and babs? Good.

>>85457054
You know, McCarthy did pitch a Creeper mini to DC years ago. If people would e-mail DC or use twitter to tell them how awesome that would be then in this current time period I can see it happening.

>>85457175
*No, those are happening for sure. The higher ups want a bi Robin, and Jason has spent the least time as Robin so the stigma of Batman fucking Robin won't be as bad. Babs and Helena are definitely banging, because Rucka wants more bi women in Gotham.

>>85457278

hasn't it become a running joke about all the lesbians in gotham

>>85456968
I understand that convulted mess perfectly and yet that doesn't magically make it all a good status quo by any stretch of the imagination. Stop sucking DC's dick.

>>85457299
*Exactly, Rucka is furious that one of the most prominent women in Gotham still isn't bi like the others, so he wants to change that. Remember that Batwoman was originally supposed to be Barbara with her legs healed, and Rucka had planned to have a love triangle between Barbara, Dick, and Renee.

I can't remember a "Leak" Thread being this detailed. Remember when /co/ thought that the guy who was gonna die on Rebirth was Superboy Prime and that Wally was gonna be pissed off at Barry and this will all tie-in with Multiversity somehow?

>>85449393
Those quotation marks aren't authoritative enough for you?

>>85457039
King said he wanted to do something fucking obscure like Atomic Knights.

>>85457708
I was about to say that was obviously fake in how stupid it was, but considering what we actually got included "there are 3 jokers, watchmen is canon" I suppose stupidity isn't a valid reason for inauthenticity

>>85457708
Oh here's another part of I remember. Constantine would have a scene where he talks with the actual DC Execs and says he's had enough of this shit and is gonna fly back to Britain.

Give me a minute and I'll dump the Rebirth "Spoilers" then

>>85457708
Yep. I also remember Wallyfags already justifying their boy wanting to kill Barry.

>>85456780
OP again. Seeley's say in the matter is that he gets to STFU and let Abnett run the show with regards to Nightwing.

Can not underscore that DC regrets letting the Batbooks steal Nightwing away like they did in the reboot, let alone the failure of Grayson, which was a huge black mark in the eyes of a lot of people, especially the suits in the WB, who didn't understand why Dick Grayson wasnt wearing a costume anymore.

Returning Dick to the greater DC Universe was one of those things Geoff decided upon as part of restoring the DC Universe to greatness. Geoff basically realizes that the entire Grayson spy retool was a mistake, so having Abnett control Dick the same way Marv Wolfman did for nearly 14 years, is seen as a way to try and bring back lapsed fans who never liked how the Batman editors undid the years of character development Dick had a New Teen Titan.

Also, Booster is being embargoed until they figure out if the AC/JLI book launches. If it doesn't happen, he'll be in Blue Beetle but if it doesn't, expect him to be exclusive to JLI.....

>>85457722
Source? Weird War Tales is pretty obscure though.

>>85457752
Dumping the past Rebirth "Spoilers" so we can laugh and point out how stupid everyone was back then

>*Superboy Prime is the big death in DC Rebirth #1. The Gentry kill him to try and silence him from telling Post-Crisis Superman about their threat.

>*Ra's Al Ghul is now in charge of the Manhunters. Paul Kirk is his bodyguard and they imply that they are going to redo Millennium via Ra's Manhunters having spies throughout the super-hero community.

>*The corrupted Nu Earth 2 Darkseid/Apokalips has vanished and replaced with the OG Earth 2. We meet up with the Earth 2 Spectre, who puts up a barrier keeping people from other planets (IE the people from the Earth 2 comic) from returning to the new planet.

>*The big shocker is that OG Wally has joined the Gentry. They offered a position in their group to Superboy Prime, but he recoiled in horror at what they truly were. Wally on the other hand, having lost everything and then some and pissed the fuck at Barry did during Flashpoint, takes their offer up.

>*Ted Kord is Blue Beetle, who's backstory is that he was a vigilante hero who everyone hated because he was light-hearted and silly, until something bad happened when he tried to get the JLA into making him a member. He retired after that until Jaime Reyes resurfaces (it's vague how much of the Nu52 still happened for Jaime, except to say that Jaime has been stuck in outer space for quite some time) and Ted seeks him out to take him under his wing. It should be noted that Jaime's no longer got the scarab/armor and will be getting a low tech costume similar to Ted's trademark suit.
The last one actually seems to be pretty near to what Rebirth was establishing. We won't know much about Ted's history if it's still the same.

And I just remembered. What the fuck is happening to Didio's Kamandi Challenge Mini? It had the fucking creative teams and everything and now I ain't hearing shit

>>85457800
It was Manhattan, Barry dindu nuffin.

>*Joker's secret identity will intersect with Donna Troy's tangled origins in that Joker, like Donna Troy, is a retcon that walks like a man. Joker's a walking retcon who's origin changes depending on which fragment from the multiverse is the dominant one, ala Donna Troy and her tangled ever changing backstory. That makes Joker a key to the multiverse (similar to how Donna was revealed to be one in Infinite Crisis) and central to the mystery of the true nature of the DC Universe.

>*Mr Twister is an agent of the Gentry, who's specifically after the Titans. It's also implied in his interaction with the team and Dick (as seen in Justice League #52) that he's wiping out the legacies as part of a meta plot to kill the DC Universe.

>*The new "original" Doctor Fate teases the existence of the JSA in a scene where he holds a meeting with John Constantine. Constantine seeks him out after an off-screen fight with Geoff Johns creation Johnny Sorrow and announces he is leaving the US for the UK, tired of dealing with super-heroes and their ilk.

>*It's mentioned in the Superman segment of the story that the 30th Century is inaccessible and stuck in a time storm, which will be the plot point for any status quo changes to the Legion if and when they come back.

>*The Red Lanterns get a major tease in the story, with it implied strongly that they have cut a deal with the Gentry to serve them in exchange for some unstated reward for their alliance.

>* JLI is mentioned in one segment, as Batman wanting to expand the League and Barry shitting on the JLI as a failed experiment that needs not be be repeated.

>*Damian and Starfire are going to have an interesting relationship, in terms of Starfire treating him as a surrogate son and Damian not knowing how to handle a non-evil mother figure.

>* Hal's absence from Earth is going to be a big deal and the Red Lantern/Gentry alliance is going to end up a big deal, Sinestro Corps War big deal in terms of build-up and pay-off. Same with the Manhunter/Ra's Al Ghul storyline

>*Finally, the deaths of the male Amazons is getting retconned and retconned hard in Rebirth, when Wonder Woman finds them all alive and well, when the JLA shut down a Ra's Al Ghul/Manhunter training camp/brainwashing camp. They raid the camp and find a brainwashing facility and Diana recognizes several of them as her "brothers" and uses the lasso on them to find out that they were sold to Ra's Al Ghul by Hephaestus in exchange for Ra's giving him Manhunter alien tech. This kick starts the whole Rucka storyline of WW realizing that her whole existence has been a lie/been manipulated with falsehoods.

>>85457708

No asterisks, not OP, obviously fake

Plus, Nightwing has been with the Batbooks since the 90s

>>85457871
I'm kind of convinced it's just Johns shitposting now. That sounds like what someone who actually had inside info would post to upset people. Literally the opposite of what happened.

>>85457907
Manhattan was fucking it up even before that. And Barry wasn't in his right mind anyway due to Mirror Master's trick.

>>85457860
There wasn't really any spoilers here as much as just "plans" which all turned out to be fake anyway. And that didn't get reposted as much as this one.

>>85457984
Just pointing out that detailed "leak" threads happen somewhat frequently. There was the X-Men one too.

At best it's company guys just posting shit that isn't finalized to see how fans will respond to it. Or they like fucking with us by posting shit that has been turned down for sure.

>>85457777
An AMA he did on Reddit last month. He mentioned it as something of the style he would like to do, taking an obscure property and go nuts with him. He thinks you can do anything with any character. Moore did Watchmen with what essentially were the Charlton characters.

>>85457932
I think the real key is the side tangent about "Ed". Maybe the shit poster is someone at DC who's pissed off that she fucked the Notorious Eddie B only to get dumped when he found out that she was a Trump supporter?

Fuck off, Jesse.

>>85458246
*fart noises*

>>85458339
Barganza being the poster makes the most sense. He's the type who would be right at home here on 4chan and given the amount of bad press he's received over the years, I can see him being petty and posting fake spoilers here to mess with Rich and others who have made noise about his bad behavior...

>>85458213
That's the price you pay when this place is full of assholes.

>>85458169
>>85458213
He also said he would like to write Superman someday.

>JSA return during a Red Scare

POTTERY

>>85458457
Problem with that is that Barganza is responsible for a lot of the editorial decisions that made Rebirth necessary. I doubt that he'd be trolling us like that, unless he's slamming the crap he himself came up with in order to throw us off the scent....

>>85458546
That's why I know this isn't Jesse. He's not clever to come up with such poetry.....

>>85458559
I don't think he's self-aware enough to realize the stuff that's his fault.

>>85458579
You do know Maggie hates being called Jesse, right? That's like one of her biggest pet peeves (that and being called Ms Margaret or by her full name, Jessica Elisabeth Margaret).....

>>85458624
Maggie also hates pets, smoking, and men who wears hats.

The fact that she and Eddie were together for as long as they were, as his mistress, was a shocking given how annoying she was.

>>85458662
Yeah. I remember when Johns and some of his friends were forced to check their hats with her because she wouldn't let them into seeing one of the WB executives wearing ball caps. I think Jim Lee nearly cried when she ranted at him that he was too old to be wearing a baseball cap and to buy a suit.

A shame her and Eddie broke up; they were a good example of opposites attracting.....

>>85449363
>>85449579
Original sauce: his ass

>>85458712
My favorite Maggie story was her ranting about how Wonder Woman needed to wear pants because her legs would be cut up in battle. Little batshit crazy things like that which only an out of touch mid-level WB executive would say.

Shame about Eddie though. Without her protecting his ass, he's probably going to get fired soon.
