June 21, 2011 ASSOCIABLE PRESS–In a surpise move, DC Comics discovered that longtime head honcho Dan DiDio is actually a woman, then abruptly fired him her. Fellow employees' reactions were mixed. A Mr. Lee, who asked that his first name (Jim) be withheld, said, "I can't believe I didn't see it before–I mean, the dude's…

The issue of Barbara Gordon regaining mobility and once again adopting the mantle of Batgirl has been the cause of much discussion on the interwebs since it was announced by DC recently. Earlier I highlighted longtime Gordon scribe Gail Simone's conversation with Oracle-advocate Jill Pantozzi, during which Simone said (in the context of explaining why…

From Bleeding Cool's report from the recent DC Retailer Roadshow in Burbank: Action Comics and Justice League are set in the past, the Green Lantern, Batman and LSH books are all continuing without a reboot. DCU Presents, Green Arrow and Hawkman are picking up where Brightest Day left off. But for everything else, yes, it…

After the all-but-worthless "news" conference that Geoff Johns and Jim Lee held in LA last weekend, this morning brings the indefatigable* Vaneta Rogers' revealing interview with Bob Harras and Eddie Berganza, in which they are actually quite forthcoming about various details of the DC relaunch. This passage in particular stands out (it's somewhat long, but…

Bleeding Cool has a lengthy interview with Scott Lobdell, chiefly about his Teen Titans relaunch – this part stood out to me as reassuring-yet-confusing: Tim Drake is a perfect example. Yes, he figured out Bruce’s secret identity and yes he became Robin and yes things happened in his past that prompted him to move on…

The Source has the rest of the Superfamily details post-Flashpoint: Superman #1 (note: no subtitle, as reported previously) will be written by George Perez but pencilled by Jesus Merino. "What is Superman’s startling new status quo? How does it affect his friends, loved ones and his job at The Daily Planet?" Supergirl #1 will be…

Hero Complex (who recently covered much bigger news, namely Green Lantern and Philosophy) has the exclusive reveal confirming Grant Morrison and Rags Morales on Action Comics #1, including the teaser image to the left. They also reveal the full title of Superman: The Man of Tomorrow #1 (with no mention of whether it is George Perez writing…

Quite a roller coaster evening for Gail Simone fans: Her interview with Jill Pantozzi, author of the recent piece "Oracle Is Stronger Than Batgirl Will Ever Be," is now up at Newsarama, and she is extremely candid and heartfelt about the decision–which was not hers, but she's comes to terms with it–to restore Barbara Gordon to…

Awesome news–CBR just reported that Tony Bedard and Ig Guara will launch Blue Beetle #1 in September (starring Jaime Reyes), and Newsarama has news of a new Suicide Squad #1 from Adam Glass and Marco Rudy (starring Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and King Shark)… Now these sound good! Nice surprise late-day announcements…

Not much more to say – check it out here! (Mind you, this is not an official announcement from DC–that will presumably come tomorrow.) Does the new, younger Supes look an awful lot like Superboy-Prime to anyone else?
