@outside_85: There seems to be some confusion on this subject. In an interview on Newsarama, he stated that the weeklies count toward the 52, not in excess of it. We'll see the truth by what gets launched or canceled in upcoming months

@wessaari: Not a bad idea but DC learned a lesson with DC Universe Presents. You gotta start off with the heavy hitters before going on to the lower tiers and new characters.

Secret Origin is for NEW readers not whiny fanboys. Zero Year was almost 2 years ago. People nowadays have short attention spans. They need jumping on points all the time. These stories are NOT gonna be retcons.

@movieartman: Looks like it'll be more of a chase than previously assumed. They never said it was gonna be quick. NuLobo will be 1 step behind.

@transformers1024: Batman gets more books because Batman sells. You are well within your right not to buy it.

2- They are not retelling Death of Superman. In the new52 his death is not assured. So far no pre-new52 stories have been rehashed.

3. Secret Origins has a 12 page story for Batman meant for new readers to catch up. It'll probably a quick summary showing what's still in continuity. And Batman SELLS.

Isn't it DeMatteis the one doing the scripting while Giffen does the plotting?

@tomchu: DC has not lost Morrison or Winick. They stepped away to do more creator owned stuff. Morrison still has Multiversity and Wonder Woman Earth One. Rucka will deal with Vertigo if its something he likes (AV Anthology). The other ones are correct. Gail will walk away from books but not DC in general.

The RB Silva drawings were for the DC Card game.

He meant that it doesn't count as one of the 52 ongoing series. This isn't taking away from another non-Batman character getting a book

Hawkman was able to knock out Superman in Superman/Batman's first arc back in 2003-04. He used the Claw of Horus to do it.

And Superman is breaking Green Arrow's bow like a twig, not punching him in the chest.
