After DC Cancels Supergirl and Super Sons – What Next? Young Justice?

Published Wed, 21 Feb 2018 04:25:52 -0600

The Bendisquake effect on the DC Comics lineup had its second impact yesterday as Bleeding Cool noticed a) that Super Sons was to be cancelled with #16 in May and that b) Supergirl was missing from May solicitations.

Indeed, because Man Of Steel #1 hadn't been solicited for May 30th as promised, Superwoman being cancelled and Trinity is also being cancelled in April, it was down to just DC Nation #0 and New Super Man And The Justice League Of China to have uncancelled Superman stories for May. And the creators confirmed.

While the story that began in Supergirl:Rebirth concludes in #20, I couldn't be more grateful for what we've accomplished in #Supergirl. Wherever Kara goes next will be amazing! Thank you all for your incredible support, for this singular run, and to my co-creators and editors!

It has been an honor, and a pleasure, to add new layers and moments to Kara's world. And I can't wait to show you what's coming next with #TheUnexpected! I could not be luckier to work with Ryan Sook and Cary Nord, making the biggest #comics I've been part of yet! https://t.co/MEoGlRvbLm

Good Crikey my Twitter account is exploding! Brothers and sisters, keep thinking good things! It is not being cancelled for bad sales. There are plans afoot I can't share at this early juncture but you will be happy with the results – Super Sons lives!

Never fear! There's a plan. I can't say more, but the speculation should include TEEN TITANS and TITANS as well as SUPERGIRL. 😎

Last year Bleeding Cool ran the rumour that Teen Titans and Titans were to merge into one twice-monthly title in 2018. But could it be wider than that? Incorporating Supergirl and the Super Sons too?

You know, Young Justice is about to return to the upcoming DC streaming service. That seems an opportune time to have a comic book with the same name, don't you? Titans as well…

Warner Bros. Television and DC Entertainment today announced that executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter are teaming up for the all-new live-action drama series "Titans," which will debut in 2018. Additionally, Warner Bros. Animation's "Young Justice: Outsiders," the highly anticipated third season of the popular "Young Justice" series, is also ramping up for its first mission next year.

Both fan-driven series are in early stages of production and will air exclusively on a DC-branded direct-to-consumer digital service in 2018. Operated by Warner Bros. Digital Networks Group, the new digital service will deliver an immersive experience designed just for DC fans.
