Originally known as "National Publications", DC is a publisher of comic books featuring iconic characters and teams such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Justice League of America, and the Teen Titans, and is considered the originator of the American superhero genre. DC, along with rival Marvel Comics, is one of the "big two" American comic book publishers. DC Entertainment is a subsidiary of Warner Brothers and its parent company Warner Media.
@PowerHerc: I'm expecting them to do a Shazam book, keeping the Capt. Thunder name from FP. It get's rid of the 'Marvel' problem. Also, he seems like he'll be a semi-important character in the WW storyline.
i WANT to read all of them.. (except for the supernatural related ones, not a fan of monsters being included in comics) but i probably can only afford like...15
Just added Justice League Beyond to suspected. Bleeding Cool seems to be sure that its going to happen.

Haha that WOULD actually update the character. To give him a different name. That way the title can actually be called Captain Thunder.

Even with this massive company-wide reboot DC still won't give Captain Marvel (SHAZAM) his own book.
Whadda bunch of bullshit.
There are still seven titles left. We could see a SHAZAM comic. It would be awesome if Grant Morrison was on it. Hes not on anything yet.
I thought he was writing Superman
It was rumored he was writing "a Superman related title". Its been confirmed that Perez is writing Superman. So he technically could be on anything.

Im right with you there. I cant afford all of these but im going to try to get as much as I can. I even dropped all of Marvel 616 for this.
@PowerHerc: I prefer the name Capt. Marvel to Capt. Thunder myself, but I was just saying that I could see why DC would such a thing. Both names are pretty cheese-tastic though (Capt. Thunder a little moreso, but I wouldn't mind)
@The Stegman: @doordoor123: From the current list of confirmed titles, how are your to-buy lists shaping up? Mine atm is: Detective Comics, Batwoman, Wonder Woman, DC Universe Presents, Justice League Dark, Resurrection Man, Frankenstein, Animal Man, and Swamp-Thing.
There are others I'm interested in (a lot of them, in fact), but those are my definite buys.

Well what I mean is that its easier to call him Captain Thunder because DC cant have a title called Captain Marvel because of Marvel comics. My Definite comics are Justice League, Static Shock, Batwoman, Batman, Superman, Justice League International, Teen Titans, Flash, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Hawkman, The Fury of Firestorm, Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, Green Lantern New Guardians, Nightwing, Swamp Thing, Batman and Robin, Animal Man, Red Hood and the Outlaws, Justice League Dark, Frankenstein, Agent of SHADE, Resurrection Man, Legion Lost and Batman Beyond. So thats 26. Which is 78 dollars a month. Ill be mixing and matching with titles im not liking. So ill be all over the place.
PS I just realized I wrote teen titans twice. Thats good news. Means we have 8 more titles. Not 7.
@doordoor123: Yeah, I don't see a reason why DC would keep his name as Capt. Marvel post-FP, regardless of whether he gets a book as part of the 52 or not.
And wow, 26 definite buys already? I'll probably end up buying 15-20 of the books in total, depending on what the release schedule is like. I'm interested in Static, Aquaman, Hawkman, Nightwing, Red Hood + Outlaws, Demon Knights, Voodoo, and of course Superman too, but if they clash with my other choices release date wise, they're getting shafted.

Haha yeah. If I could, I would get all of them. I actually want to get all of them xD
Added to confirmed 45. Stormwatch 46. Blackhawks 47. Sgt. Rock and The Men of War 48. All-Star Western 49. Deathstroke 50. Grifter Also a first image of OMAC
I just saw the Sgt. Rock cover, was digging up the rest lol. Also, bleedingcool is saying JLA Beyond is part of the 52 now (possibly along with Superman Beyond?) But wait, if that's true, that means no Action Comics... (Superman Beyond is an assumption by me, like JLA Beyond, it was also due for release sometime soon.)
edit: Holy crap, Stormwatch is basically The Authority + Martian Manhunter. Definite buy.

Superman Beyond isnt part of the relaunch. My greatest Adventure might not also be apart of the relaunch. If thats the case, then there would be three left. Plus the ones that I have that they havent announced yet.
@doordoor123: I hope you're right. I wasn't expecting Jonah Hex to be part of the reboot, but he is now. I'm not sure how I feel about the Deathstroke design. Grifter is lookin good though (inb4 Deadpool comment)
Scares me that theres no SHAZAM, Speed Force or JSA. Most of all JSA. ALso its not a Jonah Hex comics. Its a Western Tales comic. Deathstroke looks awesome I think. His last costume was too retro.
@fodigg: She's gotta be among the 52 somewhere, she has too many fans. She probably won't get her own book at this rate, but I'm sure she'll atleast be a recurring in one of the Batbooks (of which there are many)
@doordoor123: Oh man, I forgot about the JSA, they can't leave that out. Which reminds me, we're 50 titles in and Cyborg is nowhere to be seen. What's going on?

I dont think Cass will show up until Batman Inc Vol 2 Cyborg is in Justice League. I dont think he needs a solo title. So im guessing everyone connected to the JSA wont exist anymore? Maybe theyll give them their own universe.
@doordoor123: Meh, that's probably for the best for Cyborg, it's just there was a lot of initial hype for the guy, and I swear it's all died down as fast as it appeared. He still hasn't appeared in Flashpoint (I think, I haven't read FP: Booster Gold #2 yet) either.
And I'm thinking Stormwatch = post-FP JSA? It's possible...
Not confirmed yet. And yeah. I added it to speculated. Bleeding Cool is wrong about one title because right now they have speculated two titles too many.
More news! Apparently Speed Force is supposed to start in December. Not part of the initial relaunch. http://www.newsarama.com/comics/questions-clues-dcnu-110602.html
@doordoor123: Cool (some of these titles should've been held back for December too...I'll stop grumbling now...). That leaves room for Action Comics, and...probably Supergirl.

Im thinking Batman Beyond might not be part of the relaunch but is just getting renumbered to go along with the relaunch. So that would add another. This is what im expecting to hear tomorrow: Superman, Action Comics, Supergirl, Superboy, maybe something else (with grant morrison)
@doordoor123: That'd be good. The fifth title could be a Shazam family book, Billy has always been sorta closely affiliated with Supes.
Also found out My Greatest Adventure isnt being released until October. Not sure if theyre considering it part of the relaunch. Lets hope for SHAZAM. Or maybe itll be JSA with Captain Marvel on the team?
@doordoor123: A friend passed them on to me on MSN. Like all the other leaks, their from the main DCU blog/site, they had a link but didn't have a blog entry. I can't get the urls for the images to work anymore, seems like most of the other big comicbook sites have missed it...

And Action Comics is probably the last one. So **if** Batman Beyond and My Greatest Adventure stay within the 52, that's all of them...
I thought about it and thats a really big IF. I think it would be weird to announce Batman Beyond with Superman titles. I dont think itll happen. I think that one or two more will be announced.
@doordoor123: @Primmaster64: If you dont mind. Could you check my list compared to yours? I already have 52 confirmed listed with 4 rumored totalling 56. I think the one difference is Vigilante #1. I heard it was confirmed. Also it has been confirmed that Tim wont be getting his own solo. He is basically just the star of Teen Titans
it WAS rumored. Its part of All-Star Western. How do you have 52 confirmed? there wasnt 52 confirmed. And youre just telling me stuff that i know. Hahaha but yeah ill look at your list.
Wow! Those are some awesome covers. Where did you find them?
im really disappointed by these covers and (according to the cover) Superboy's new origin. I think they all look bad. If i had to pic one i would say Supergirl looks the best out of the 3. Supergirl looks older. Im curious if they will set her up to take over as powergirl in a couple of years

I have 52 because i heard iVigilante was confirmed. Sorry, you had under "what fans want to see" Tim Drake so i wasnt sure if you knew they confirmed he wouldnt be getting one

Yeah it was confirmed as part of All-Star Western. Vigilante isnt its own title.
@doordoor123: thanks. And at this point Action Comics is still a rumor? At the end of the article about Superman, SG, and SB it stated that details about Action Comics would be announced tomorrow. That makes it sound confirmed
Don't like Supergirl's collar cape but she looks good non the less. Superman looks lame, like they tried to merge mr Majestic and his suit together but it fails terribly. And is that superboy? As a ROBOT!!! *faint* God help us...
i WANT to read all of them.. (except for the supernatural related ones, not a fan of monsters being included in comics) but i probably can only afford like...15
Im right with you there. I cant afford all of these but im going to try to get as much as I can. I even dropped all of Marvel 616 for this.
yeah i pretty much dropped all but three Marvel titles for this, and so Deathstroke is getting his own series??? getting that too..sigh, poor wallet

well like i said, i want to buy most of them, but my definites so far are
Superman, all batman titles, wonder woman, Justice League, JLI, teen titans, Nightwing, Legion of superheroes and Legion lost, MAYBE static shock, Aquaman and Batgirl oh and all green lantern titles minus Red Lanterns
