DC Comics News From SDCC: Day One
'Flashpoint' Panel Confirms Event Will Result in DC's Relaunch Continuity.
50,000 DC Comics fans say "Well, duh..."
Sterling Gates adding a "brand new thing" to the Speed Force that he's very proud of.
SPOILER: It's a caramel center.
Wally West to show up in Kid Flash Lost #3 in an unexpected way.
SPOILER: Drunk. And naked.
Gail Simone reassured a fan that Stephanie Brown would not disappear.
SPOILER: Because technically, if you never existed, you can't have ever disappeared.
Regarding Catwoman - Judd Winick stated that in his first interview he said "sexy" about forty-five times, and it wasn't enough -- and that it was a "dirty, dirty book." Winick described her as sexy, dangerous, prone to stealing things and very, very smart.
Starman has stated that Catwoman was doomed to early cancellation about forty-five-hundred times since it was announced Judd Winick would be writing it, and it wasn't enough -- and that Winick's remarks were "very, very repetitive. Repetitive."
Lobdell said he "doesn't do dark," so this is going to be a "fun" book about a bunch of damaged characters, starring Jason Todd, Starfire and Arsenal.
Noted how incredibly easy it is to do a comparatively fun book with these characters, after what was done with them in Countdown, Titans and Cry For Justice.
On Starfire: Lobdell stated that he wants to shift Starfire away from being fully integrated into human society, and show her more alien side.
Reworked costume will help to show off EVERY side of Starfire.
Wonder Woman's costume to now feature 'retractable pants'.
At least until fan outcry suggests they aren't popular, in which case DC Comics will retract the retractable pants.
The Marvel family is on hiatus for the time being, though they will play a role in Grant Morrison's upcoming Multiversity story, in a book with art by Cameron Stewart titled 'Shazam's Thunder'.
Captain Marvel fans rejoice, for this means Judd Winick is not writing Power of Shazam again.
Because they want to return characters to younger incarnations, Arsenal is now too young to have had children, so Lian Harper no longer exists. He will also have two arms and likely won't be known for abusing heroin.
Roy Harper fans confused. Happy that Rise Of Arsenal is no longer in continuity but sad that all the good stories with Roy Harper are gone too.
Mystery woman on Justice League International cover identified as Lady Godiva.
Disappointed Donna Troy and Gypsy fans mourn. Everyone else asks, "Who the @#$% is Lady Godiva?"
Oliver Queen's new company, Q-Corps, will be “Apple-esque”, says writer J.T. Krul
We hope they mean Apple-esque in that they sell lots of cutting-edge technology to the masses and not because they make substantial financial contributions to anti-gay hate groups.
Dan Didio Says No Big Events For DC in 2012.
Joe Quesada expected to announce No Big Events for Marvel in 2012 by weekend's end.
