If DC is looking to modernize the DC Universe, what will become of the JSA?  Going back to the days of All-Star Squadron, the JSA has always been near and dear to me.  I was thrilled that the team made it through Crisis intact and love the idea of a senior team to mentor and counsel the next generation of superheroes.  Given that, I feel they definitely have a place in the rebooted DC.  They play a role that the Justice League has never, and will never be able to fulfill.  
 
What do you think?
 

 
so  far no word about jsa

Apparently, they get dumped as though they were totally disposable. Which is why I won't be buying DC anymore after the reboot. DC without the Golden Age characters is pointless.

Some of the solicit descriptions are interesting. For example, JLA #1
 

Comics superstars Geoff Johns and Jim Lee make history! In a universe where super heroes are strange and new, Batman has discovered a dark evil that requires him to unite the World Greatest Heroes!

It would be interesting to see everything merge (character relations might give it the spark), but no more multiverse stories. Seeing as how Superman will be younger, I'd like to see an older superhero give him lessons on who he can and cannot save, what makes up the good and the bad and the consequences of his actions. For a while, I thought Batman might have been the one to play the role, because mentors and students usually make the best friends. Like the way they portrayed the older heroes in Smallville, this idea sounds better to me.

Needless to say, I'm bummed. . .given Mr. Terrific's and Hawkman's solo titles, and the absent of any other announcement, I can assume the following characters have been mothballed:
 

• Jay Garrick
• Alan Scott
• Wildcat
• Stargirl
• Dr. Mid-Nite
• Hourman
• Damage
• Dr. Fate

At least it's been said Power Girl will appear in one of the new titles. But I hope and hope that we see another title for the golden age heroes.

powergirl was the only good one. i'm glad they all gone.

@notoriousbcb: Idk, Stargirl and Damage are young enough to be on the JLA and Fate could be a villain or an upcoming character in Justice League Dark

Interesting.  The idea of Dr. Fate taking a villain turn in JLD could be very cool.

That really could be an interesting idea. I really dug the Dr. Fate character, and having him return in such a capacity would provide an engrossing tale at least. We always see the villains make a move to the light, even if temporarily. Now a move in the opposite direction (I am familiar with Irredeemable), and with a character such as Dr. Fate, guarantees my readership.

I would love to see an Alan Scott monthly, or maybe even do a father daughter teamup with him and Jade.  I would hate to see the real green lantern disapear

Yea i like the idea too. He could practically become the Dr. Doom of the DCU

Love the sub-message in there. Our "fate" is "doomed"! XD

Coming out first in 1940, being the first superhero team ever in comic book history; I think they deserve a little more respect than it seems they're getting.  I just don't think the DC world is complete without these Golden Age heroes who have been around since World War II, both in the comic world and ours in a way.  Gotta' say, this is one DC fan who isn't looking at buying any new comics anytime soon...  Guess I'll be able to pick up some of the older ones to complete my collection though.. 
 
(It would be funny if somehow Power Girl was once again, still aware of the universe change.  She's survived so many so far, it's a shame to ruin a good thing! XD)

I agree. They definitely deserve more respect. Love the point regarding PG's awareness of the universe change. . .
