When I heard this during the last night of May I was in a mourning fuming process I'm still unsure about this but I just hope DC knows what they're doing with this decision.
DC Comics
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.
UPDATE: Jim Lee Redesigns Every Major DC Character in Mass Reboot
This just seems like yet another DESPERATE attempt by DC to beat out MARVEL, and by the looks of this stuff, Marvel still doesnt have anything to worry about.
DC needs to stop trying to make its characters look cooler, and make some interesting stories.
Aside from BATMAN & SUPERGIRL, and a few others, lately it seems like most of DC's cast have the lamest stories going on.
They shouldve just tried to keep JUSTICE LEAGUE (UNLIMITED) on tv.
Ok, Love Jim Lee's work but I really like Dick as Batman...
And if you look close enough, you'll see that Cyborg kinda looks like Battalion from StormWatch
and his Batman looks like Jean Paul Valley's when the kid gloves were off?
Bye bye Batman INC.!!!
i don't really care about wonder woman...flash, hal jordan, and aquaman look the same pretty much, superman new "s" and a collar? idk about that, cyborg actually looks way cooler than he ever has,batman i hope that's dick and not bruce because i love his new suit....all im worried about is them changing "too" much as long as batman inc. and dick, tim, damian are where they're at then im cool

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/06/02/the-new-justice/Oh man. I'm so happy they're doing a new JLI like they planned, and including the Great Ten characters is brilliant. I'm a little worried that I don't see any Blue Beetle. I'm kind of hoping we'll get a Jaimie Reyes as BB, but coached by a still-very-much-alive Ted Kord. The fact that I don't see him on there worries. me. Also, I wonder if that's Bruce as Batman. I wouldn't mind Dick being a second Batman (one man 'Batman Inc') right from the start, with Tim as Nightwing and Damien as Robin.
On Booster Gold, I'm worried, because 1) I really liked his current costume and I'm not keen on this updated one, and 2) I'm hoping they don't throw away his new "secret master of time" status quo.
maybe if they didn't make a huge event every 5 seconds it would give new readers time to get into the stories and get everything strait up, but starting everything from the b egining is WTF !!! they can change the costumes thats not a probleme but start the stories from the begining???!!!!!
anyways thats just my opinion
I dont know if it's been said, but this can simply be summed up easily.
If this turns out good, who will have made it work? Us. Not the theoretical swathes of fans D.C. think they'll get, but we all know they won't. When will they start making new fans put effort in to get into comics, instead of spoon feeding fans that don't even exist?
It's all good having a jump-on point, but if people have been to lazy to get into comics before, why would a jump-on point help? Jumping on at issue #1 is one thing, but staying on is another. If they're too lazy to get into existing comics, why would they put effort into this?
They should've just created an Ultimates line. Not everything needs a reboot. Frank Miller didn't reboot Daredevil, he simply wrote the shit out of that character and reDEFINED it in a way that lasted until Shadowland.
The renumbering is the only thing I'm not being able to get. Wonder Woman was renumbered to 600 recently, showcasing the total number of WW comics over the years. Batman, Superman, Action & Detective Comics have been running in their near 900s and even Adventure Comics is renumbered to 500 etc. Wouldn't it have made a lot more sense to renumber all the other titles according to continuity like GL or Flash. These titles have over 400 issues in their belt. JLA should have that amount too.
Is it just me or does anyone else feel the same?
They've ditched the Justice Society of America. No more JSA, no more Power Girl, and Hawkman and Mr Terrific no longer seem to have any association with the Golden Age. That's it for me. No more DC.
Jim Lee makes all the new costumes wayyy to shiny with too many metallic pieces. he's trying way too hard to make them look "cool"
some of the costumes look really bad like robin and superboy
