There's tons of characters whose existence or whereabouts in the relaunched DCU are unknown. Like Wally West.
I'll start a list of characters I'm curious about and add your questioned ones to it in a couple of days. As the status of characters is revealed through interviews, solicits, con appearances, etc., come and report those revelations here and I'll add in a blurb by the character's name.
Don't be surprised if it takes a few days for that status to be updated.

DiDio posted on Facebook last night that JSA as a concept was being rested for awhile. Not sure if that means all the JSA associated characters are out to pasture, although it seems likely that the duplicate characters will be. I wonder if any of the unique JSAers will show up in supporting roles in, say, Mr. Terrific.

Well, the title is the first one that really grabs me after the JSA not being in the mix. Wally has gotten short shrift for a while now. And honestly, the Barry stories haven't caught my eye the way the last 24+ years of Wally did.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
So I've added the first character updates that I've seen. Anyone else read or heard anything?
Posted by Shining Son on :
Wow, it was 24 years of Wally wasn't it?

Bump for new info.

My hope is that DC may eventually have a Justice League Unlimited concept. One team sub-divided into groups for specific missions.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Going on little more than a gut feeling and a few rumors flying here and there, I think the JSA--or perhaps the Justice Society Infinity--will be safe and sound on Earth-Two after the dust settles with their pre-Crisis history mostly intact.
How character like Stargirl and Cyclone will relate to that group is one thing I'm wondering. And I dearly hope Obsidian is still gay.
Posted by doublechinner on :
I don't think it's a coincidence that I just saw a solicit for a TPB collection of the original "Infinity, Inc." on the other hand, we saw today that a Huntress mini by Paul Levitz is starting in October. This Huntress has "roots in Italy," so it's unlikely to be Helena Wayne.

bump for info on Robotman (under DOOM PATROL heading).
Posted by Jerry on :
Do we know for sure that it is Cliif? Maybe that other guy - Robert Crane or someone new? I guess the fact that Robotman will be in "My Greatest Adventure" suggests Cliff.
October is shaping up to be almost as exciting as September with new new titles.
Posted by superboymddjr on :
thought that My Greatest Adventure was to guest starring two new characters - Garbageman and Tanga? the #1 will be out in October.

You left out Lian Harper.

Yes, the solicitation doesn't offer a lot of information, It just says that Garabageman and Tanga will be joined by Robotman. Release date of October 12, 2011.

On a FB chat this morning, Dan DiDio remained completely evasive about Wally West -- I'm not sure he even gave a non-answer. Not that I put much stock in what that radio silence means. Just noting it. He did have a great line in response to a question about how you could have 5 Robins in 5 years (the DCnU will have 5 years of history at the relaunch): he replied "Think of it like an internship."
Posted by Shining Son on :
I have a feeling I'm going to be saying this a lot, but this is exactly how they fucked up last time. Trying to fit everything of some people's history into a few years, while jettisoning the history of others (thereby necessitating the shoehorning), no matter how little sense the results make.
But mostly, then not caring enough about it to actually enforce it. And frankly, I cared far more for the post COIE New Earth than what I've heard of how history's falling into place this time. I bet the current editors will feel the same since much of this is lawsuit-driven not creatively-driven. Though OTOH THAT may make them enforce it more than last time.
I really hate the idea of Batman going through Robins like kleenex.
You know, I REALLY hope the Siegels put out their own Superman comic. But I assume if they use the rights at all, they'll just sell it to TV and movies.

bump with info culled from Comic-Con. Any additions I missed?
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
bump for Ravager/Rose Wilson info-- with 'smaller' conventions happening all over, please post if you here credible info about DC characters whom we haven't heard about making the transition to the new DCU.

From Bleedingcoolnews...
Fan Expo Canada. At which we learned;
From Jeff Lemire:
On Ray Palmer: His Atom back ups in Adventure Comics will tie in to his new Frankenstein series as Ray Palmer becomes a member of the S.H.A.D.E. science team.
On Wally West: Dan DiDio pretty much confirmed Wally West won’t be around for a while as Wally’s origins derive from Barry’s and the timeline is too concise. They will have Bart for the teenage set however.
James Robinson
* We know that Von Hammer will be appearing in the first two issues, Robinson also let the audience know that vampire La Sangre will return for issue five to seven. * And in issue eleven, Egyptian gods will be attacking London, with Knight And Squire on hand. (If they exist. He’s not quite sure if they exist in the New 52. He’s going to find out._ * He wants to write new Congorilla and new Starman stories – but not using Jack Knight…
And there was a Flashpoint Friday panel too. In which we learned;
* Pied Piper will be coming back in Flash at some point * Booster Gold will be Canadian in JLI. Hmm.
(I hope they are not trying to get rid of the future aspect of Booster.)

bump for info from Canadian Comic Expo (mainly JSA- though those characters are still question marks individually... hence the red.)
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Vague thought: Given the news about the "return of Earth-2", could it be that we also get another Earth which is sort of a "return of (Silver/Bronze Age) Earth-1", where Donna and Wally end up?

MANY missing characters can be found at DC FIFTY-TOO
Here you will find mock covers for titles that could and possibly should have been in the DC 52 had these independent creators had their druthers! LSH fans in particular don't want to miss the LOIS LANE cover!
And how hella-groovy would THIS have been, by Bill Walko posted to the Great Frog Groovy Teen Titans Facebook page:

Interesting article...wonder about some of the facts though.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
New status for Beast Boy/Changeling, Raven, Garth/Tempest and Plastic Man.
The list of 85 characters now has 18 names which have popped up one way or another in the new DCU. 25 more have the potential to show up in the still-unannounced JSA title, or have been rumored to appear somewhere else.
That leaves 42 completely unaddressed. Unless I missed them (very likely).
Did you see any of these characters mentioned or actually appear in one of the '52' or one of the new miniseries? Read an interview or credible source that hinted at a character's 'return'?

have you seen the last page of OMAC #2? this came as quite a shock to me...did not expect that of all the books, *that person* showed up on the last page...!!! The person I am speaking of is undergoing a big change....is he a part of the Fourth World or what? I don t know! it looks a homage to Jack Kirby...

Several Justice Leaguers seem to be missing too. Anyone heard from Metamorpho, Doctor Light, Tazmanian Devil, Red Tornado, Steel (John Henry Irons), Captain Atom?

Captain Atom has his own book. Tasmanian Devil *may* appear in JLI (that s I hope, alongside Dr Light ).

http://dcwomenkickingass.tumblr.com/post/10421998759/sbrown It's the story that would have been Batman Inc #9-10 (and was referenced toward the end of the Steph Batgirl series), redrawn to have DCnU Batman and her as Spoiler and released as a one-shot called "Leviathan Strikes".

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping they both show up too - Japan and Australia, represent!
Re the above... and I thought MY school was tough!
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
Lots of updates. Did I miss any?
Posted by Reboot on :
Think you're getting optimistic with all those red "in Earth 2 JSA"s - if Alan Scott doesn't even have his ring as of E2 #1, how could he possibly have two superpowered kids, for instance? It seems like an either/or - E2-Hawkgirl has been announced as Kendra rather than Sheira, but any WW2 JSAers descendents won't be around if they themselves are (albeit in rebooted form).
Also, Shade is apparently not considered a DCnU book any more, but is off on an "Earth-Shade".
And there was some vacillating about this in the first few months, but the current Teen Titans is now apparently intended as the very first DCnU Titans team (the originally-announced plan was for Cyborg to go off and join the Wolfman/Pérez Titans at the end of JL #6 and be back with the JL in the present-day of JL #7, but that was dropped. Also flashback cameos of Wally & Donna that Lobdell promised for TT #2 were nixed), so any pronouncements to the contrary/existence of Tempest/etc should be taken with salt. And Spoiler... well, the Batman, Inc. one-shot (originally intended as two issues of the pre-DCnU title and repackaged because the title was running so late) was published without any DCnU alterations at all, meaning Tim appeared in a costume he's apparently never worn in the DCnU, so Steph's status is still fuzzy on whether she was Batgirl/has even existed. [There's some similar "fuzziness" with a few details of the first Batwoman arc, which was written and partially drawn before they found out about the reboot and also wasn't altered to account for it].
Steel (John Henry Irons) appeared in the first arc of Action Comics, but has yet to appear [or even be mentioned!] in the present day - so while he exists, whether he's "currently" around, inactive or dead is unclear.

"Tanga" means dental-floss bikini in Spanish. Interesting choice of name indeed.
