OK, lesson learned – I wrote such a long post on Saturday that the comments won’t load, so, new post – I hope you see this, I’m grateful for the comments, as ever!

I agree about the sword, I suppose we’re stuck with it until the current round of movies cycles away.

I believe Secret Six and Midnighter are gone, yeah, which is a rotten shame. but Shazam was announced as coming at a press event, along with
New Gods, JSA and – hurrah – Legion of Super-Heroes.

Hmm, I’d not thought that Johns was Marvelling up DC so much as bringing back everyone from his childhood and maiming the rest.

I’d ideally like a straightforward Linda Danvers Supergirl, continuing from the last run, but from Steve Orlando’s later comments on Twitter and at Comics Vine, it seems we’re getting a soft reboot with Cat, National City, the DEO and the TV Danvers. I’m good to see where they go with it. He really does seem to have a good understanding of Kara’s character.

I was also disappointed, but see above!
And if any more comments come in, I’ll be back! Thanks for your patience, folks.

Any chance that Rucka has mentioned WW isn't going to be a bloody barbarian born of Zeus and murdering rapists? I was all set to buy WW #1 but seeing the dark movie costume pushed me away. The whole fixation on WW holding a sword is a turn off as well. So many people seem to latch onto her Greek myths but not SF ones, and hide her powers behind the sword and shield. Granted even in the Bronze age she was seen with them, but not all the time. Maybe having Diana constantly shown with a phallic symbol of power close to her face is something I just wasn't born to understand. 😛

Thanks, Nobile. It's easy to be confused with the books. I have to admit you had me doubting what I thought, so I had to look them up online. After all, there were multiple Superman running around and not every one of them were shown in the spotlight in the actual Convergence book itself. I also forgot that there were four “Supergirls” as well, original Kara, Matrix, Pre-Flashpoint and Power Girl outside of New 52 Kara. I agree, having Jurgens on the book does bring about nostalgia for when he wrote the couple, and, really, it's been basically half a decade now where Superman and Lois have barely been friends in the comics. I also agree that artistic license was taken with the characters, such as having Earth-2 Robin in the wrong costume, most likely because they favoured the “Batman one”. Of course, DC isn't exactly known for keeping continuity straight. 😛

Fascinating, Wolfman's original idea is new to me. I do remember that even at the time, I was a bit confused by the 'half-baked' period when elements of the old world's survived most-Crisis. DC never plan these things properly.
