So Rich the Leech says he's gonna be posting a shit ton of Rebirth rumours throughout the day.

Please keep your whining about BC for another thread, this thread is for fun rumouring and related shitposting.

So far:

>I understand that as part of the rename/relaunch happening across the DC Comics line this summer, we well see a new Titans superhero team comic, dropping the Teen prefix, and spinning out of Titans Hunt.

>That current Titans Hunt book has seen a number of the original Teen Titans return, remembering each other and a time that was seemingly wiped from existence by the New 52 relaunch.

>Batman is one of the comics that will going bi-weekly at DC Comics, after the big relaunch, this summer.

>Look for its writer for the last five years, Scott Snyder to change his plans as a result, to leave the title that made him an A-List comic book superstar and start writing – the secondary Batman title at the publisher – Detective Comics.

>Detective Comics will remain a monthly title. The decision to switch books is more likely to be remove Snyder from the event driven nature of some modern comics and of the pressure of writing the lead Batbook, and DC’s bestselling title. He will be more able to do as he pleases with he character.

>Here’s the bigger question though; with Scott Snyder on board, will Detective Comics start to outsell Batman?

And of course, the classic

>I have been told to be careful about what I report regarding certain people being attached to certain projects. In that I understand that, just as with the New 52, some people are writing for an upcoming new comic book unaware that what they re doing is actually pitching for that comic – and competing with others for that gig. One person who I was guaranteed by some to definitely be working on a high profile book is not, I’m told, actually locked down on it yet and has competition. So I am treading carefully…

Jesus, didn't Rich show up here the day of the Rebirth announcement and express regret at being a sensationalist that's eventually proven wrong? And now he's doubling down on a full day of this stuff?

Am I in the minority saying that I like Detective/Action comics name better than the main titles? Too bad they couldn't keep the numbering.
>>
>>79512164
Just because he regrets it doesn't change the fact that that's the only reason BC exists at this point. If he stopped doing that then he'd lose all ad revenue. A clickbait site doesn't just go "we're going to stop making clickbait" and expect to maintain their userbase.

I mean, the only thing BC has going for them beyond Rich's "rumors" is their Avatar Press shilling.

>So how is the publication schedule of Rebirth going to look for the upcoming DC Comics relaunch we have been going on about for an age?

>Here’s how it’s going to go, as far as I understand it.

In February, Batman #49
In March, Batman #50
In April, Batman #51
In May, Batman #52
In the first half of June – either Batman #Rebirth or Batman Rebirth #1
In the second half of June, Batman #1
In the first half of July, Batman #2
In the second half of July, Batman #3.

>All the books being relaunched as part of the DC Rebirth (and no, I don’t know how that will affect mini-series half way through their runs) will get a special Rebirth issue before their new #1. And those that are bi-weekly, like Batman, will get that first issue in the same month as their Rebirth issue.

Can't this fucker just release all the news at once instead of his multiple clicks shit.

>>79512388
But this gives him more of that sweet ad money from people who aren't blocking.

I really hope this gets superman some good talent and another editorial team. I'm currently reading 0 DC books and I actually like DC

A lot of middle aged people don't use adblock, which is a huge audience for superhero comics.

but black mirror was mediocre at best
just like his gates of gotham and all of his run on nu52 batman

I assume we're going to get an actual Rebirth announcement from DC this week or maybe next then
>>
>>79512446
Kek there is some truth to that

I really hope DC makes an announcement on CBR or somewhere in between these Rich Johnston posts.
>>
>>79512426
I think we should make a petition to get Berganza off the Superman editorial.
>>
>>79512523
Someone needs to expose him as a sexual predator or something. DC will get some flak, but the quality of superman books will improve in the long term.
>>
>>79512446
Also somebody on cellphone.
>>
>>79512328
Oh God, calling the book Batman #Rebirth would be just stupid enough that I can believe it.
>>
>>79512445
Flash might get a new team since Van Jensen has said he's off

GL is probably getting a new artist, Venditti will probably stay

Sinestro is getting a new artist or maybe just cancelled

Its crazy how someone who has had mediocre books after mediocre books for years still has this gig
>>
>>79512063
>and start writing – the secondary Batman title at the publisher – Detective Comics.

He says that like its a bad thing. That title gives writers plenty more room to breathe.
>>
>>79512542

>Venditti will probably stay

this guy ruined this series. why keep him, DC?
>>
>>79512533
He was exposed as a sexual predator years ago. All they did was demote him then shove him in a less public position while making it so he only works with other men to avoid another scandal.

Nothing will get Berganza fired. At best, he'll just get moved to a less important editorial division like Titans.
>>
>>79512557
Berganza already runs Titans. At DC it's "bat-family" and "other books."
>>
Holding out for E2/JSA news
>>
>>79512557
I thought he was already editing Titans
>>
>>79512539
Every book is being rebirthed. Batman is just being used as an example.
Here's how it goes.

- Final issue.
- Rebirth Issue.
- New #1 issue.

>>79512557
>>79512570
>>79512576
He's been on Titans even before he was on the Supes line

Uh..this sounds stupid. Batman is already selling high. Do they want it to sell in millions now? Marvel's relaunched titles are already selling low.
>>

>giving all the books a #1 when Marvel's latest attempt shows that no longer works
Granted a lot of those just continued with the same writers...
>>
>>79512603
New #1's is the name if the game, I hate it but... fuck do we know. If this doesn't pay off, I see some serious repercussions for Dan and the Gang,
>>
>>79512601
They figured "well Batman sells really well, so let's have it double ship so we can get twice as much Batman sales." Marvel did it all the time with Amazing Spider-man.

>>79512221
>Does this mean we're finally getting some Black Mirror level shit again?

Is there a more overrated story here bros? It was ok at best. Jock's art really elevated it.

>>79512328

This doesn't add up. I bet the "Rebirth" issues are gonna be one-shot jumping on points. So the Rebirth issues will end saying "continued in Batman #53" or whatever.

I have a feeling they're cautious about rebooting their entire line, especially their long-running flagship books like detective and action. Flash and GL probably should though. They won't simply copy Marvel.

Marvel's big problem with the relaunch was having Secret Wars in the middle. If your average casual reader who's only buying one or two books comes in and gets told the books they wanted had ended, they won't come back in four or five months for the new issue one.

If it had been set up as Final Issue, Transitional Issue, New Number 1 without skipping a month, you wouldn't have lost the cherry pickers and they'd have been able to follow it.

This is it. This is when /co/ turns on King.

Either that, or everyone keeps trying to be the first one to turn, that /co/ as a whole just skips that phase and stays as Kingfags

>>79512642
More like it is going to be Dick as a spy and Bruce as Batman working together probably.
>>
>>79512647
Happened with Snyder, might as well happen with King too.

>>79512678
I think it ready started yesterday.
>>
>>79512711
People like you will keep showing up in storytimes saying he's overrated, when his quality still shows, if that's what you mean.
>>
>>79512685
Given the fan reaction to Vision and how they're pushing it Marvel will probably offer him something bigger like with certain other writers assuming he doesn't just focus on Batman.

Apathy abounds. At this rate just expect the big two to relaunch ever 2 years.
>>
>>79512063
Wow it never occurred to me that Snyder was somehow pressured to deliver these overblown events all the time. I just assumed he was obsessed with destroying Gotham every five weeks, and the Joker. Maybe he doesn't deserve all of the blame, after all.

I have no doubts that King could write a good Batman (I love Grayson, but I'm too intrigued to be mad right now), but the bi-weekly thing doesn't sound so great. He seems like a guy who puts a lot of effort into his scripts.
>>
>>79512736
For him not to be MEDIOCRE AS ALL FUCK

Marbel are already doing it every 6 months

Well Omega Men is already cancelled and he's off Grayson starting next issue or the one after.

You can't get any worse than Venditti and he's not mediocre. His 2000 AD work is the shit and MM is awesome. KYS.

We already started turning on him. Didn't you see all the "Tom King is an SJW" threads?
>>
>>79512759
Yeah, Rebirth better be a big deal to spur a line wide relaunch.

This really has the potential to bite DC in the ass. We saw how quickly sales dropped for Marvel after their recent #1 fiasco. I'm really curious how LCS and causal fans are going to take it.

Ok. So what books have a chance of avoiding relaunch? Do you think they're relaunch Superman and Batman but keep AC and DC's numbering? I collect Action and I'd hate to see it go back to #1 so quick.

I'm concerned Rebirth is going to turn into a jumping OFF point like Secret Wars was...

Wonder what Johns/Sciver are working on then.

I know he teased a Gary Frank collaboration when he quit Superman, that hasn't surfaced yet (not E1 Batman).

This.

All my LCS are currently getting hit hard because Marvel sales have tanked. Casual (and even some more hardcore) fans jumped ship because of Secret Wars.

Hell even the big Marvel guy at my store has stopped picking up Marvel and is going with a mix of DC/Image instead.

He got to do whatever he wanted, with GL too, and with it he undid everything that Johns did.

This has been coming for a bit. Remember the "stop Batgirling" decree that came down from on high? This is the reaction to that.

Speaking of Batgirl, I'm curious if this means that Burnside is over. I'm love a return to the early nu-52 suit and a different creative team.

I really doubt it, did you see Batgirl's new costume already made it into a DTV? They're not getting rid of that

>Batgirl's new costume already made it into a DTV

I'm sorry to hear this. I really just don't like the burnside suit.

IMO the early nu52 design was one of the best she has had in awhile. Really would love to see it or something like it back one day.

>>79513325
I'm not fan of Burnside costume, either. She looks like car mechanic.

>headcanon that Batman bought her that expensive-looking armored suit because he figured if she's going to fight crime she should at least have a greater degree of protection than a makeshift costume

That's fucking terrible. The art changes will be unbearable and writers will shit out mediocre scripts just to reach the deadlines.

Who thought this was a good idea?

>Remember the "stop Batgirling" decree that came down from on high?
Fuck off Rich. Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true.
>>
>>79513492
Depends of the creative team.

There was a biweekly run of X-files comics back in the 90s that was GOAT and the writing/art never suffered.

As long as the new team knows what it is getting into and has the lead time needed, then it should be fine.

>>79513492
They want to catch up with Marvel in the marketshare. In reality most Marvel books that double ship don't do it every month because of delays
