Who is the Dark Detective? One of the upcoming Future State/5G two-month events from DC Comics includes a different Batman to the one that is appearing in The Next Batman But this one doesn't seem to be Bruce Wayne either.

One year ago, Bleeding Cool told you that Jonathan Kent, son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, would become the new Superman as part of DC Comics' 5G relaunch Earlier this year, we pointed out that this would be accompanied by Jonathan Kent putting Metropolis in a bottle This is what we said three months[...]

We then learnt it would be would be written by John Ridley, screenwriter of 12 Years A Slave and part of 5G, or Generation Five, a publishing event led by publisher Dan DiDio to replace all the lead characters in the DC Universe and have them aged up, introducing a new generation to DC Comics[...]

Less a 5G for 2020, more a DC Comics 2099, a Fifteen Years Later, maybe And rather than the ongoing DC Comics line, getting it all done and dusted in two months. DC Future State, a two-month, line-wide event beginning in January Through February 2021, the full title lineup will feature a combination of monthly and[...]

Stating that DC Comics were going to do their DC Band-Aid trick again, a two month gap to get their books back on schedule, so that the main comics could relaunch for 5G, with existing DC characters aged up and new characters taking their familiar roles A new Batman, a new Superman, a new Flash and[...]

To what extent this will or will not use any material initially prepared for the original Generations oneshots, or 5G, or whether it will be brand new originated artwork, I have no idea Because Dan Jurgens did want to make it clear that the Detective Comics #1027 story was a brand new creation He tweeted[...]

Once upon a time, DC Comics was going to publish a series of one-shots, the Generations books, which would lay out the new DC Timeline and lead to a relaunch and a rewriting of the DC Universe as 5G or Generation Five Then publisher and champion of the project, Dan DiDio, was fired and the[...]

It was soon revealed just what this was to be for. Generation One, the first of five one-shots that would lead up to Generation Five – or 5g But then, Dan DiDio, the man behind this move that would have seen the DC Universe aged up and replaced with younger characters in familiar roles – was[...]

At DC Fandome, in a video recorded a few weeks ago, current DC publisher Jim Lee confirmed his previous reports confirming the death of 5G. Screencap from DC Fandome.

Once upon a time DC's Generations series was to lead up to a big reboot/relaunch of DC Comics with a Crisis, an ageing of the main superhero line and new characters taking over the lead books, as part of 5G or Generation Five But then publisher Dan DiDio was fired and DC Comics took advantage[...]

The show suggested what we had also been claiming, that it would be Luke Fox, the second Batwing. When we ran the original story, that would have been the status quo for the entire DC Universe, and the series would have been the main ongoing Batman monthly, relaunching after Batman #100 with a new Batman #101,[...]

it was called 5G – or Generation Five – and it would be the new face of the DC Universe DC editors said that this was going to be the status quo at DC Comics while Dan DiDio was Publisher. DC Will Publish John Ridley's 5G Luke Fox-as-Batman Comic After All? Then Dan DiDio was fired six[...]

The original plan, pre-pandemic and when Dan DiDio was still publisher, was called 5G or Generation Five, with a new extended DC Timeline that would have aged all the main DC Comics characters and have them replaced with a new, more diverse line-up of characters taking on the roles Then everything changed But the lead[...]

Before shutdown – and before publisher Dan DiDio was fired from DC Comics – DC Comics was to launch 5G or Generation Five, which would have aged up all the main DC Comics characters, and see them replaced by younger characters taking over the roles We would have also seen a new timeline, pushing Wonder[...]

For those Bendis fans who have missed that, you have it here in spade3s, as the Legion decide they probably have to do something about this own organisation, election, leadership and the lot. But with the presence of Superboy, we also get the word from Madame President of Jonathan Kent's much gossiped about plans for his[...]

It was also meant to kick off the Generations one-shots, each telling stories from a different DC Generation – five in total, including the much fabled 5G Then publisher Dan DiDio was fired and the plan was pretty much junked. But some aspects have made it out into the wild The new Epilogue for Flash Forward[...]

Hang on, we've come across that before recently, haven't we?  A Bleeding Cool report that looked at how the newly reworked version of 5G will see Metropolis become a bottle city, and the remaining planned stories of 5G still allowed to happen, will take place in that instead… giving us a Bottle 5G[...]

As a part of Dan DiDio's 5G initiative, multiple heroes would leave behind their superhero mantles With these geriatric heroes aged out, there would be younger characters continuing their legacies, including Luke Fox, son of Lucious Fox, who is currently Batwing. John Ridley IV, screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave and showrunner of American Crime, would join the[...]

Part of a line-wide rewriting of the DC Comics Universe and its Timeline, known equally as Generation Five and 5G, the main DC Comics titles would have featured new iterations of familiar characters Luke Fox would be the new Batman, Commander Cold's kid would be the new Flash, and the like And that this would[...]

Soon afterwards we had been told it was decided that Luke Fox, son of Lucius Fox, and currently appearing in the DC Universe as Batwing, part of the 5G initiative, where all DC Universe titles would reflect a new timeline with characters aged up and other characters taking on their legacy That the death of[...]

No more 5G And the Generation One-through-Five titles have disappeared from DC schedules So here's what would have been; "Flash Forward: Epilogue" is an extension of the unbelievable conclusion to the Flash Forward six-issue miniseries, with all-new content from the series team of writer Scott Lobdell and artist Brett Booth. In order to save his children and the multiverse itself,[...]

But this may be worth interrupting it for, as Shahin just asked DiDio to talk about what 5G or Generation Five was.

There is no news at all about Generation One, the first in a planned series of five one-shots, each taking a different generation of DC Super Heres and initially planned to lead up to Generation Five or 5G, and a relaunch and reworking of the DC Universe with new characters taking the lead roles But[...]
