I think Madame Xanadu should be the new Oracle because she's you know, an oracle. Then again I haven't kept up with JLD so for all I know she's dead or in limbo or something. Does it need to be some techno geek in a wheelchair? Lobdell's Oracle seems more like The Living Tribunal than Galactus.

I would just like to take a moment to point out this:

Just sayin'!

One is prettier than the other. Thats all I see.

@snootchie_bootchies: She was clearly shot. She's clearly not Oracle now, but there are three years of her life that haven't be explored. More likely than not, Barbara played the Oracle role then.

I may be showing my age, but there was a pre-Crisis pre-52 DC cosmic entity called Oracle. He appeared in the JLA/JSA/SSoV team-up.

Barbara will always have been Oracle in my eyes.

The way Scott was explaining it seemed to make it The Watcher-y to me.

If he's really DC's Galactus then they should have called him Spacious.

So Oracle is Galactus?

thats what it sounds like

I didn't see anywhere in this interview that Oracle is an eater of worlds so I'm not sure what is up with the Galactus comparisons. The similarities seem to being and and end at them both being cosmic entities. Other than that they really don't seem to be the same. That said with the amount of cosmic entities Marvel has I wouldn't be surprised if Oracle was similar to one of them.

Anyways this sounds like it could be interesting. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out although I'm not sure if Lobdell can pull it off.

the way i read it since it sounds like there are more of them Oracles are a mix between Galactus and the Celestials

Maybe it's a new version of The Monitor(s), from the DC Crisis stories. btw - The Marvel U has The Watchers.

Thank you!!!! I knew there was a cosmic entity in DC similar to Galactus and the Celestials already but i couldn't remember what it was i just blanked.

This thing is like Galactus, the Celestials, and the Watcher all rolled up in to one

UATU. Now DC has their very own.

why is starfire being king konged in this pic?

I love the character of oracle, but I think this is a mistake. Barbara Gordon being oracle was special and made sense. This chapter of the universe seems over, I see no reason why we need a new one now unless it's going to be another moving well written story, not some cosmic entity

Exactly!! lol Oracle is nothing like Galactus and if anything seems far more powerful based on what we DO know.

The only thing is as you said, both are cosmic entities so by that logic is Phoenix like The Spectre or Anti-Monitor? lol I don't understand how people come to these conclusions either. I agree with you 100% dude. That's also a good point and ironically I just told someone that on here, that Marvel is known for having 100 cosmic entity like characters vs. DC who have far less but characters just as powerful. They just tend to have less...besides, we all know Marvel has bitten off DC more times then I can count.

I too am looking forward to it.

There were no OTHER names ? DC is currently freakin' clown shoes. DC seems to be trying to bring in characters people are missing in an effort to draw in fans that they drove away. This just feels like Lobdell is trying to stir up a crap storm. As if the new 52 wasn't filled with shit crap already.

I'd be very interested to know how much or how little this lines up with the plans George Perez (and the editors of Superman) came up with at the beginning of the book. The mysterious crab fellow (now known as The Herald) and his cosmic trumpet were right there in Superman #1, even though they seemingly had nothing to do with the ultimate enemy in the initial arc. Has this been the long game since the beginning, or has that shifted now that Scott Lobdell is on the book?

Either way, I'm looking forward to watching it play out. He handles the high-concept science fiction in a really fun way, and I just eat that stuff up. If his Lois Lane weren't written so terribly this would be one of my favorite books at DC. Hopefully that can be fixed as the title goes on, because everything else has been a blast.

@telepathic666: It's not starfire it's some scientist lady from the Superman series. I think she was in issue 11 or 12.

@save.me.now: Dr. Veritas, introduced in Superman #13.

I was wondering when that Horn guy was going to come into play, didn't realize he called Oracle!

So now we can look forward to

Oracle VS <Random Cosmic> Threads

٩(^‿^)۶

i have to theories its either brainiac kinda good kinda bad or harper row from batman

Gordon was the third DC character to go by the name Oracle. What fail. Why not do the basic research?
