    Ok, we had a sneek preview of Rip Hunter's Blackboard quite a while ago in Booster Gold #1... a few things were mentioned upon the Blackboard of Doom that have actually come true...

    This was it's first appearance, but sadly the thread we had dedicated to the chalk board has gone missing over time... so, it's time to have a look at the BLACKBOARD OF DOOM again... with some very, very interesting notes appearing in the latest issues...

    For those that can't see the splash panel correctly, click HERE to see it in high res 

    Brilliant isn't it, it's literally a gateway to see what is coming in the future of DC comics...  So, let's take a look at what's on the Chalkboard of Doom for upcoming events...
     
    • Son of Doomsday???
    • Waverider LIVES
    • Adam Strange: Last Son of KRYPTON?
    • Beware the Oan effect
    • Seven Soldiers of Destruction!
    • Armageddon 2011???  
     
     I do like how among the mysteries/future of the DC Universe Mr. Hunter has noted that he is in need to milk and toaster tarts lol
     
    "Beware the Oan efect!" Intrigues me, a lot. Something related to Blackest Night perhaps, or the aftermath me thinks...
     
    Anyone got any more thoughts about the Blackboard of Doom, and what is coming for the future of DC?

    I don't see Adam being retconned to be a Kryptonian... that's a bit too weird, even for the current DCU staff lol
     
    Waveryder i am seriously looking forward to though... he was an amazing character back then, so having him back would be a godsend

     No, it wasn't that thread... though thanks for pointing that out to me... there was a massive one where me and G-man had about 4 pages of us just bouncing ideas back and forth...
     
    it was created the same day as the issue of 52 first showed the Blackboard... but it seems to have vanished

    i think so... especially with Waverider returning...
     
    Could this possibly mean the timelines are collapsing again?

    @~The Wanderer~: I don't think so, I wonder what the whole Henshaw thing is about..maybe Cyborg Superman is making a return.
     
    And the Time Trapper could be tied in with Waverider living.

    Well I figure that since there's apparently no evidence of Krypton's existence in the 31st century (it's kinda what the plot depends on in Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes..where Time Trapper was responsible for the xenophobia wave and everything), Time Trapper might be connected SOMEHOW to the fall of New Krypton. I hope not though <_<
    And I couldn't care less for Henshaw lol.

    I think I have figured out another Clue on the Chalk Board, it might be a bit of a stretch, but last night i was reading through, Blackest Night #1. and I spotted something in there that made this thread come to mind. and it was on page the 27th page i believe, the last part of where Ray Palmer and Hawkman are talking on the phone. at the very bottom of the last panel of page 27, the panel where Ray Palmer is setting on the desk shrunk, down next to the phone. sitting beside him is a book, the book's title is "Drowning in the time pool: the Murder of Sue Dibny by Roy Ramond JR." and that made "The Time Pool is Deadly" clue on the chalk board come to mind. and now i'm thinking that the clue may have something to do with Sue Dibny.

    @Portrait: thanks i thought it might have some merit to it, but i thought mabye my mind was just connecting dots that shouldn't be connected. because ever since i found out about rip hunter's blackboards i have been reading Booster Gold religiously. I love Booster to begin with so this is an extra treat, and now when reading through the pages of DC comics, my mind sometimes notices little things i didn't see before, or things i thought played no part in the story.
