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.


Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

My hope is that DC may eventually have a Justice League Unlimited concept. One team sub-divided into groups for specific missions.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

No Wally West plans in the new series, to preserve the uniqueness of Flash in the new series. Despite repeated pressured questions from the floor. Sriously, politicians should get this kind of questioning,
mad


My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

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.)


Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

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?
