I'm sorry, but anyone voting for Under the Red Hood has clearly never seen Mask of the Phantasm. It's not just my favorite animated comic movie, it might be my favorite comic movie period (up there w/ The Dark Knight and The Avengers). Its story is deep, edgy (especially compared to Batman: TAS tv show), the voice acting is ridiculously good / spot on, the action is amazing, the score alone is practically tear-inducing, etc. I love Under the Red Hood, but seriously if you haven't seen MotP you need to LIKE NOW. It is astoundingly good.
I called the Anti-Monitor bit back in March after issue 6 (my bet on who his "assistant" is: Superboy Prime...duh). Superwoman's baby will obviously be Alexander Luthor (jr.) - as in the one we all know and love from COIE and IC.
All this leads me to believe Johns wants to do COIE/IC: New-52 style and maybe make it bigger by throwing Darkseid in the mix. Could be interesting.
Given their importance in the comics, in addition to their rather large roles in JLU and other animated features, I can all but guarantee Dr. Fate and Captain Atom will definitely make it into the new game. I hope they add more GL and Flash villains...there were way too many Batman characters on both sides...so lame.
In addition to Fate and Atom, I'd LOVE to see:
Obsidian
Geoforce
Captain Cold (replace Killer Frost...she had NO BUSINESS being in the first game anyway)
Loved this issue. Both Lex and Lenny ended up looking like rock stars while Batman looks like a chump as he should for this particular story. I don't see how they could end this event cleanly but I've enjoyed this as a mini series overall.
It's definitely NOT ending cleanly...April solicits make that pretty clear. More of a reason to love it, IMO - unlike most other crossovers (Marvel and DC are both guilty) it is going to have really big impacts on the DCU, major team compositions, etc.
Also - was thinking about this earlier...obviously whatever the big threat the Crime Syndicate is running from is going to find its way to Earth Prime (or Earth 1, whichever it is in the New 52)...we know that there is going to be an Earth Prime/Earth 2 crossover soon...final issue of Flashpoint had Flash having a premonition with Pandora about three worlds/universes becoming one to stop some omniversal threat...perhaps that was referring to Earths 1,2, and 3? So much fun trying to interpret this stuff haha
