New 52 Superman is losing his powers and pre-New 52 Superman (mirrored) will need to step up.

Once the secret about the DC Universe is exposed, a new evil will threaten the entire universe.

Batman will focus on a mystery involving his greatest villain.

There's a secret that tackles in very nature of the DC Universe.

Certain DC characters will be reintroduced into the DC Universe.

Rebirth will reintroduce classic aspects or supporting cast members, but for the most part the New 52 is an experiment that DC wants to continue.Īccording to Johns, Rebirth #1 will focus on five aspects: If you've been reading current DC Comics, you can carry on reading your favorite characters, sure in the knowledge that those characters aren't drastically changing again. Most of what consists of the DC universe is continuing forward. 'It brings back what has been lost: the legacy of the characters, the love and the hope of the DCU.' Convergence already brought back the multiverse.

'Rebirth is about focusing in on the core of the character and their respective universe,' said Johns in the recent Previews catalog covering the Rebirth books. Johns will be writing DC Universe Rebirth #1, which will transition the New 52 over to the new status quo in the same manner. The linewide branding is a callback to Green Lantern: Rebirth and Flash: Rebirth, two comics by DC mainstay Geoff Johns that were intended to correct issues in their various lines and set the tone for those heroes going forward. Rebirth seems to be the next step in that process. All those classic versions, spin-offs, and out-of-continuity comics existed once again. Last year, during the corporate move from New York to Los Angeles, DC Comics ran the Convergence event, which brought back the DC Multiverse. Certain characters didn't make the transition over to the New 52 and those that did sometimes had different personalities and relationships than before. It had varying levels of success for the company, bringing in new readers, but losing some veteran DC Comics fans in the process. The New 52 was DC's attempt at streamlining its complex continuity, which for some characters had stretched back for decades.
