I thought GC was the sacrifice for the upcoming Batman Confidential. Either that or Streets of Gotham.

I'm thinking the latter.
Gotham Knights might be the one making way for Confidential.

Read that the Hawkman book is making way for Hawkgrrrl... Hawkmen, Flashes, Wonder Women... I think my entire fanboy life is being retconned... It's 1986 again!

you know what? after looking at DC future comics cover for this month to January....I noticed that Batman and Superman are getting beat up by villains and heroes....Superman getting clocked by Supergirl and Superman Kal-L and Batman being pinned down by Green Lantern and Green Arrow....poor Superman and Batman. At least Wonder Woman and Flash do not get beaten up.

The Supergirl cover looks to be a female version of Nightwing and Flamebird (the original Kandorian versions).

I wonder what kind of spoilerish images are meant to be in those splintered shards on the cover of Infinite Crisis #6!! Does anyone really think continuity will be simplified after all this?

I think they'll try. Some fans may not be happy about it, though, if they saw the reappearance of the multiverse as the new status quo and it turns out to be a sendoff.

Didn't like this issue. Felt like I was being told to pick up other books to get the full story. Too fragmented. And I'm supposed to believe that you-know-who and you-know-who have been behind this all along? And does that make you-know-who the Anti-Monitor? Not the good read I was expecting after a long day at work. I would have been better off with a good zombie book.

Turns out I was right about Luthor's identity in Villains United with my first guess. There was no other way for him to know about Pariah and Quark.
Things I don't like (so far):
Alexander's and Superboy's turn to the dark side....if all is as it seems.
Their manipulations of Kal-L.
No Ted Kord (but maybe this Jaime has promise?)
Things I like:
The Anti-Monitor!
An Anti-Matter Bomb!
Kal-L's revelation that he could have a better life with Selina.
I'm thinking that the 'bad guys' here are being manipulated in turn. Is it possible that the AM is still alive somehow and controlling Alexander through the Anti-Matter?
And the big white space we saw in Rann-Thanagar HAS to be the AM bomb exploding....

I liked the issue. I didn't see anything wrong wiht what is happening. It makes sense to me.
<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">EP SB is bound to go crazy/jealous seeing Conner and his life -the life EP SB belives he should had have. That could easily be manulipated by Alexander Luthor-who is still a Luthor and can nver be trusted no matter from what universe. But then again, I think this may be just a big red herring to what is really going on and who is really in charge. Maybe the Anti Monitor is still alive. Dido did say something that the COIE never really did end.
So who is on the Tower? We have J'onn, Breach, Lady Quark, Black Adam and The Ray. Apparently they need Kara and Nightshade too. What do all these characters have in common? Anyone?</span></span>

My guess? <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Each one is a representative of the different earths...the only one I can't figure out is Breach.</span></span>

ohhhhhh. I like that.
<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> J'onn is from the "current" earth. Black Adam from "Earth-S", the Ray from "Earth-X", Lady Quark from whatever Earth she is from, Kara from "Earth-2" and Nightshade from "Earth-C."
We can maybe assume that Breach may be from the Wildstorm Earth.
Going from there Alexander's machine is not meant to mindwipe the heroes at all. That's just the pretense he is using for the Society. He is setting it up to bring back the multiverse.
I like. </span></span>

Ooh that Lemnos! He makes me so angry, so, so, what was I saying? Oh well, must not have been very important.

AAARGH!!! A crashed plane means comics shipments to Melbourne are delayed indefinitely? I hope no-one was hurt... But... Does any naughty individual know where I can download a copy before I buy mine whenever they arrive?  I have both covers on my order but no way to buy the bloody things...

A minor point, but this issue answered a question I've had, Andrew Vinson, Power Girl's pre-Crisis love interest, does not exist post-Crisis.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."
