is this going to change their origins??? 

I have an intense dislike for this, as I stated previously. Action Comics, Detective Comics, Batman, Superman, renumbered back to #1... This is a spit in the face of their 76 year history of comics. Bob Kane would hang his head in shame.

This has me greatly worried. I don't know if I should take this as a good thing or not... While I like Geoff Johns' writing, I don't know about all of this... A complete DCU Reboot?  ... I don't know...
 
I know they're trying to relate to a wider audience but... it still feels like they're alienating the readers that have been around a long time like me and all the people that come in to the comic shop I work at... 
 
Time will tell, I suppose...

My best hope is that they do not screw up Tim Drake

Hmm I feel uneasy about it but at least I can finally read some Justice League

@The Dark Huntress: That's not my worry. My worry is the fact that he clearly hates the character.

The only way this could get any better is that DC announced that: 
 
Mark Waid and Lienel Francis Yu are the new creative team for Superman 
Loeb and Lee will take over Batman 
Geoff Jones will continue to write GL and Kyle Rayner gets his own solo 
Wonder Woman will actually be interesting 
Flash will continue to be incredibly awesome 
 
The reboot is just enough to get me freaking syked!

Since I don't really care about the "Icons" of DC I'm worried. The second and third tier of DC are going to get screwed over.
Oh well I'll finish the few DC comics that I care about and go back to not caring about recent releases.

Scared and optimistic. 

My two DC books will now be Xombi/T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, unless they're cancelled. Well, Geoff just saved me about 20 or so bucks a month. ..

Hmm... I wonder how Morrison is going to handle this

Well Aquaman and Hal look good in those v necks. 
Diana looks better. I would prefer gold bracelets. And no arm band.  
Superman also looks better no undies but the v neck is a bit iffy.
52 new books like the multiverse. 
Hopefully they really deliver on the diversity.

@Gambit1024: Waid can write for Supes...Just make Lee Superman's artist.

I hate this.

As expected as it was, that's crap. Nothing against Jim Lee and Geoff Johns but do we really need modernizations? The modern age sucks. Sucks hard. I don't want to read about a Superman who is hip and young and has stupid emo bitch problems with his powers. I want to read about a Superman who carries great weight and resonates as an established authority for DC's superheroes. I want a Superman who showed up in 1938. Who fought in World War II and has at least aged so damn slow that he can pass of as at least 30.
 
I'm half expecting this reboot to be like Ultimate Marvel, nothing against that either but a lot of the characters are so unlikeable (such as the Ultimates). I don't want a gritty realistic take on these characters or a realistic cynical take on them. I don't want the Justice League to be a task force formed by the government. Modernizing an entire universe removes the element of fun and excitment that comics used to have. I'm not even talking about Golden and Silver age stuff, I just mean since 2000 comics have just gone haywire in terms of giving bullshit explanations for superpowers, i.e. the metagene. It's not enough to just be struck by lightning and have superspeed; oh no we can't accept that because it's just not realistic. Boo hoo, it's not about trying to apply this to real life science it's about enjoyment. It is distracting us comic fans from the sad truth that we're going to die one day; sad and alone, wondering where it all went wrong.
 
A modernization is just worthless, because these characters will still be around in a hundred damn years - we'll go through ten more modernizations to try and make these characters 'accesible' to new readers; readers who shouldn't want to see their heroes deal with real life issues; nothing against that either it's cool to...try, but whatever real life issues they try to deal with they will just piss a lot of people off, like Superman did recently when he got involved into a real world issue, that he shouldn't have poked his damn nose into.
 
It's just stupid, 10 years from now they'll repeat this. They shouldn't ignore their 75 years of history, they should include it. They should build up from it not break it all apart and try to knot it all together with turn of the century tape. Their continuity doesn't have to be this iron wall that new readers can't penetrate.
 
Redesigning their costumes is fine, even though they'll just go for the traditional costumes in a few years. But modernizing it; just a shitty fucking idea.

Welp, I'm done with DC. I only just started following some of their books, then they spring a reboot on me. I'll read Secret Six till it gets restarted/redesigned, but aside from that, I'm finished. Make mine Marvel.

Way to go Comicvine, your news is once again like 2 days late

Jim Lee redesigns every DC character. yes, because people loooved his Wonder Woman design. :rolleyes:

Yes finally Superman ditches the underwear on the outside look!!!!

I love Geoff Johns work, but man. FUCK THIS. I bet this is going to ruin Batman.  
I can't believe this (or actually, I can, reboots all the freaking time), goddamnit.  Why DC? I just got way into your shit, and now you're rebooting? 
 
This is tragic in some ways. The books that have gone on and on for so long, now that is just washed away and here comes redesigned and altered versions of the heroes we love? Fuck me. 
 
I might be overreacting or have missunderstood something but come oooooooooon...

Damn, I forgot that the villains are gonna get makeovers too! 
 
Captain Cold, Cheetah, and all the other lame villains still have a chance! ^_^

Not a fan of this. What does it even accomplish really? One of the biggest complaints I've heard from people not wanting to get in to DC is the constant retcons. 

I wonder what Grant Morrison thinks, since this is pretty much the opposite of his "everything is canon" approach. Speaking of Morrison, does this mean his amazing run on Batman gets reset? I'm really worried about what all of this could mean.

I have a feeling this will fail miserably.Everything will be back to normal in what?A year?

this is gona be awesome can't wait, i think the best part about it is that it's not gona be a big reboot like the crisis storys

@doordoor123: Hey dude..what do you think of superman's new costume?

@doordoor123: Fuck you dude. It's cool if you disagree, but read the whole damn thing before you go off and say I was crying (I was only tearing up I swear). I think I make some good points as to why this is a bullshit move on their part.

Yes finally Superman ditches the underwear on the outside look!!!!

Wouldn't it have been simpler to just start an Ultimate line?

It's like reading Uncanny X-Men right now, and then picking up to read Ultimate X-Men #1.
 
That's the feeling of how this is going to be.

@doordoor123: Do you really think that the incredibly loyal DC fan base who has been reading their stuff for a while is going to respect this decision and be happy that all the continuity is gone?I know im not going to be...

Wouldn't it have been simpler to just start an Ultimate line?

I'm excited, can't wait to see what they have in store.
