We looked at when Green Lantern: Season 2 was planned to end, as a way to judge when 5G might happen - only for three months to be shaved off it, despite strong sales. We even found precedent for a previous attempt to do similar and maybe new that minor character Space Ranger was getting a 5G replacement a little early. As concerned voices were being raised, we revealed that DC Comics were planning to keep the classic characters, Bruce, Diana, Clark, etc for a Black Label/Giant-Sized line. We learned there would be a Summer Crisis that would lead into 5GВ with a planned editorial fill-in to help the main creative teams get a head start. But in most cases, not be their natural successors, but by others taking on the mantle in new, different, exciting ways.Д¬reators were talking about bringing their current runs to a conclusion. They were now older as a result вЂ“ and were being replaced. DC Comics was to expand their timeline, so that Superman, Batman, and everyone else had been around for decades. We heard that whatever Francis Manapul had been planning for Aquaman: Earth One was being repurposed for 5G. Captain Boomerang's kid would take over from Barry Allen as The Flash. Competing versions that either Teen Lantern or Jo Mullein would take over Hal Jordan as the main Green Lantern of Earth. That Diana would be the first to be replaced as Wonder Woman. We learned that Jonathan Kent, Superman's son, would take over his role as the Superman of the DC Universe. This was also the first sign we had of DC's Big Change - though we didn't know it at the time.ДЄnd all the pieces began to fit into place, as we received more and more of them from industry sources, inside and out of DC Comics.

Oh, and that Oscar-winning John Ridley IV would be writing the new Batman comic after #100. And then we learned Luke Fox, son of Wayne tech wizard Lucius Fox and the current Batwing, was locked in to take the role rather than any of the Robins вЂ“ as his first appearance started to boom on eBay.

And this directly tied into what we had been reporting about DC Comics introducing a replacement for Bruce Wayne as Batman, intended to be a black character.
