That Bruce Wayne was to have been aged up as part of the new DC Timeline, to be an old man, and tutoring and oracling the new Batman But then Dan DiDio was fired as publisher, the pandemic and shutdown kicked in, and plans changed radically The shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic underlined this as[...]
And rather than Death Metal's conclusion leading into 5G, with the central characters being aged up, it now segues into Generations: Shattered which follows on from the Detective Comics #1027 story and then into Future State and Generations: Forged, which also seems to be addressing the original plans for the New DC Timeline as well, spread[...]

The Free Comic Book Day title with the Flash Forward epilogue and the new DC Timeline was pulped - not one copy escaped A rewritten version ended up in the Flash Forward trade paperback instead And Generations was disappeared.But it appears that, not wanting to waste all that time and money spent, some bits are[...]
We would have also seen a new timeline, pushing Wonder Woman's origin back to the beginning ot the twentieth century, expand Batman's timeline to that every Robin had their day, and move onto a bright future, with a rich legacy to explore That was the plan anyway.And it would begin with the Generations volumes, numbered[...]

It is possible that Generation One, solicited for May may be also delayed for similar tweaking.The Generation one-shots were originally intended to lay out the new DC Timeline and lead into 5G or Generation Five, a remaking of the DC Universe, spearheaded and sold into Warner Bros by the former publisher Dan DiDio But as[...]
While sketching on panel at C2E2 last weekend, DC Publisher Jim Lee asked the crowd 'heard any good rumours lately?' He was initially talking about rumours launched after the departure from DC of publisher Dan DiDio by the likes of Ethan Van Sciver, that AT&T was planning to shutter DC Comics publishing if their upcoming Bleeding […]
Today's Flash #750 reveals a new self-contradictory timeline, which Wally West's Dr Manhattan-powered up Pariah must find a way to sort out But maybe it's more that just the machinations of Manhattan that got it that way? Because today's Justice League Odyssey #19 has Epoch The Lord of Time, making big plans for everyone and[...]

— Liam 'Sharpy' Sharp (@LiamRSharp) March 3, 2020So when Liam Sharp, just now, stated that The Green Lantern Season Two had been restored to a full twelve-issue run, well, that just bolsters what we heard coming out of C2E2 that the implications of 5G and the new DC Timeline were being significantly rolled back, now[...]
In which we would have seen the entire DC Universe aged up, along the lines of the planned new DC Timeline, with new characters replacing familiar figures in the classic roles This was to be Dan DiDio's big new thing, and a lot of work had been done on it across editorial, with a planned[...]
We'd previously said that the story within by Scott Lobdell and Brett Booth - which will have an expanded version for DC's Free Comic Book Day title Generation Zero: Gods Among Us - may do a smashing job of sorting out DC Comics' current continuity woes, set up the DC Timeline and prepare for 5G[...]
But it appears that a number of writers who have been working on upcoming comic books in line with the new DC Timeline, as of yesterday are being asked to make significant changes.The original plan, as outlined by Dan DiDio at NYCC last year, was to rewrite the chronology of the DC Universe, with Wonder[...]
When Dan leaked the unfinished timeline at NYCC, people started to get worried internally, and the last month especially has seen Dan returning to his trademark levels of micromanagement that’s caused some to freak out And that may have been the final straw regarding the charge of 'fostering a poor work environment' which led to[...]

So, Supergirl is cancelled with #42 in May. A surprising cancellation, I'll grant you. But if it's a sales consideration… what other DC Comics regular series sell fewer copies? And could they also be in danger? Bleeding Cool added up the card stock combined covers, and here are the titles DC COmics is currently publishing, […]
