@apokos7: This is huge. One of the bigest comic book news of the last 3 years if it's ture. Can't wait for the Rebirth Panel.

@captainomnitron: My bet is that Justice Society will come back and be the first masked men, like it was pre New 52. The reason the retired in the 40s was because they were asked to reveal their identities (and then they were stuck in a different limbo like dimension, before coming back in the 90s, by Geoff Johns).

@apokos7: Holy $hit

Is this Hickman confirming he will do something with DC?

Two days before the big Rebirth panel?

Johns and Hickman writing for the same company???

Yeah Rebirth sounds better and better with each passing day.

@captainomnitron: Oh yeah I agree.

I am just kinda sure that what will happen is that the characters will somehow "merge" with the memories they had before New 52, remeber everything, and bring back DC's history and continuity.

Maybe some characters will actually physically merge with their pre New 52 versions, creating the definite version, or something like that.

Bottom line is pre New 52 DC will be back, but New 52 won't just dissapear. These stories will be in continuity, just added on top of the pre New 52 continuity, maybe with some changes.

I have very high hopes for this.

I think the new continuity will be a mix of old and new and the heroes will most certainly keep their experiences from New 52. This was kind of confirmed again yesterday (by Aquamanshrine, a site which Geoff Johns himself often retweets, as he did again this week), when it was stated that the Rise of the Seven Seas storyline is already being written and drawn (many pages are already done) and will take place after Rebirth. Which means Throne of Atlantis, a New 52 storyline will be in continuity (since without Throne of Atlantis there can be no Rise of the Seven Seas).

So I am hoping for a "best of all continuities" approach.

Also there's now way that Justice Society and the Legion won't be back, to truly make DCU whole again.

DCYou almost killed DC, but if Rebirth is anywhere near as good as GL Rebirth, DC's future seems bright again.

@vinomonster: There's very strong indication that Ivan Reis will be the Aquaman artist after Rebirth.

@viin: Don't worry Rot7S is most definetely happening.

As Aquamnshrine reports (and they kinda have the inside scoop in everything Aquaman related and have not been proven wrong so far) Ivan Reis left Cyborg in order to focus on Rot7S and is already working at it. Alongside Joe Prado and Rod Reis (the original New 52 Aquaman creative team)

It has also been hinted that Ivan Reis will go back to Aquaman.

As for Johns I'm thinking he'll do either Shazam or a Legion book (or maybe Earth 2 which will logically be about Justice Society)

@ecstaticgrace: Not at all I think.

I'd say he will have a boost overall since he will be the main character in a major event, ssequel to one of the best JL stories ever.

And Aquaman will be one of the main titles being shopped twice per month.

And since Johns is the one doing the Rebirth, I'd say he will incorporate Aquaman's telepathy influenced by the Silver Age also, which means more creativelly and often.

@ecstaticgrace: Johns will have input in virtually everything so I'm sure Aquaman's Rebirth will be awesome and include huge parts of PAD's and Gleason's Aquaman, but also revamps of Silver Age characters and concepts.

As for Rot7S Aquamnshrine has some inside info is already calling it the greatest Aquaman story ever.

Really can't wait for that.

And it's also strongly implied that at least Ivan Reis and Joe Prado will be back on Aquaman!

I trust Johns and I believe Rebirth will be the best thing that could currently happen at DC.

@ecstaticgrace: I think that they will simply keep the characters at the point they are now in the New 52, but they will "merge" somehow with the pre flashpoint version.

So for example Aquaman after Rebirth would have his history pre Flashpoint + his history post Flashpoint and then Aquaman 1 comes out and continues from that point on (with Rise of the Seven Seas happening).

Now the important part is that every character has many retcons and sometime multiple origins. For example Aquaman was both half Atlantean and full Atlantean in some origins and of course he can't be both. So Johns will choose the most iconic and popular version and do this for the entire DCU.

And I imagine this will happen with most characters.

Maybe New 52 Superman and pre Flashpoint Superman will merge during the event becoming the true Earth-1 Superman having all his adventrues be canon again, but in a way they don't conflict eachother.

And with Johns as the mastermind behind this, I beleive this will be the case for the entire DCU.

This is the perfect move for DC.

This is 100% what I was hoping for.

Well played DC.

Give the keys of the universe to the one writer that truly is a fan first and is the best at rehauling characters and concepts utilizing their legacy.

If it is anyrhing like his GL and Flash Rebirth comics, then what I hope for and believe will actually happen is that some sort of event will happen in the DC Multiverse that will make all of the characters in the New 52 (the current universe) remeber that eveyrthing before Flashpoint happened OR this event will affect reality and make all the DC characters some mixed version of pre and post Flashpoint acknowledginf everything that has happened in the characters (or at least what is considered best about them).

Whatever worked in the New 52 will not just be retconned. That is kind of confirmed since Johns is working on Rise of the Seven Seas that will be published after Rebirth and for sure will not retcon Throne of Atlantis (which is the reason for Rot7S) or Darkseid War (that he called the high note of his JL run). Just the pre Flashpoint JL stories will be part of the new mixed continuity.

IMO of course.

Extremely excited and hopeful for DC (after the trainwreck that was DCYou)
