"If corporations are people, they're people we can punch."- Steve Orlando

Steve Orlando talked about his relaunch of Midnighter. Covers were shown for first three issues. In issue #3 Midnighter will face off with Multiplex, a villain most recently featured during season 1 of Flash.

Apollo would make an appearance at some point in the future. They will tell the story of why Apollo and Midnighter are no longer an item.

Gotham Academy #7 will feature the introduction of Damian Wayne to the series.

"That kid is a punk." – Brenden Fletcher

The story will focus on how Damian fits in to the Gotham Academy.

"Of all the kids at Gotham Academy, Damien fits in the least." – Becky Cloonan

Black Canary was spoken about. A character from Gotham Academy will be joining as a series regular. The only clue given was that is the last character you would expect.

"It's gonna be fun, and colorful. Rock'n'roll butt-kicking." -Annie Wu

Brendon Fletcher also said he was determined to reestablish Dinah as the top martial artist in the DCU. Greg Pak was there to talk about Action Comics and the new status quo for Superman. We now find Superman who is de-powered, identity exposed, and sporting a new haircut. Superman will now be seen as more of a "Man of the people"

In upcoming issues of Action we will be introduced to new supporting characters along with older characters who have found themselves under different circumstances.

Constantine: Hellblazer was talked about by co-worker Ming Doyle. Ming said she was really excited to get "Hellblazer" back in to the title and this book was very much a horror title. The book does feature a younger John Constintine who is now in his early 30's.
