What Books Will DC Be Sacrificing In September For Four Supermen And Two Aquamen? (UPDATE: Four Justice Leagues And Two Earth Twos!)

Four Detective Comics.

Four Batman And Robin.

Four Dark Knight.

Four Batman.

Four Action Comics.

Four Superman.

Three Flash.

Two Aquaman.

UPDATE: Four Justice League and two Earth 2.

That's 35 multiple shipping books from DC in September. That we know of.

There are 56 Villain books in September from the DCU, it seems, according to the Villain Month Omnibus story. So what makes up the remaining 21?

Green Lantern Relic,, Justice League Dark Creeper , Wonder Woman First Born and Swamp Thing Arcane, Justice League Of America Deadshot, Green Arrow Count Vertigo makes 41 books in total, leaving 15.

In August, we also had still-continuing monthly titles Larfleeze, Green Lantern Corps, Red Lanterns, New Guardians, Pandora, Phantom Stranger, Constantine, Katana, Vibe, World's Finest, Superman Unchained, Supergirl, Superboy, Batman/Superman, Talon, Birds Of Prey, Batgirl, Batwoman, Catwoman, Batwing, Red Hood And The Outlaws, Nightwing, All Star Western, Green Team, The Movement, Animal Man, Stormwatch, Suicide Squad and Teen Titans.

That's 28. Which 14 titles will have to make way in September? And that's if there aren't any more unannounced multiple titles coming… which there probably are…

And do we even count Forever Evil and its spinoffs into the 56 total?
