So if Damien is the TT Robin of Rebirth, what's going on with Tim?

I think he will be in Detective Comics as part of some secret bat squad featuring Spoiler and Clay face.

He is still Red Robin but with a better costume. He's appearing in Detective Comics with Clayface, Batwoman, Spoiler and Orphan (Cassandra Cain).

So, if you're still trying to avoid spoilers until Wednesday, then don't read anything probably. Because DC revealed all the twists to USA Today so they're going to be even more widespread now.

I wonder if they just figured with the leaks that they may as well reveal it. Otherwise they're kind of ridiculous to just spill everything.

They lifted the embargo on Saturday. I kind of expected to see the entire issue up on Imgur or something by now.

So Superman #52 is supposed to be out this Wednesday too, right? The conclusion to the whole "Superman is dying" story? Any idea if I should read that or Rebirth first? I've managed to stay spoiler free so far and I'm hoping to make it until the end.

I would suggest, from knowing pretty much everything about Rebirth at this point despite having not read it yet, that if you want to read any DC books this week make it the last one on the list. I don't know how many other books are ending this week, but it'd probably be a safe bet since it takes place after all of them.

The read order is Superman #52, Superman Lois & Clark #8 and then Rebirth #1.

JLA #50 is two months late so who knows if they updated the story to fit into Rebirth so I have no idea how much it will tie in.

It's probably not too concerned about setting up anything Rebirthy, but remember Omega Men is ending this week too. Wednesday is ridiculous.

Saw someone link to an updated Titans Rebirth cover (which spoils something, so wait a day before looking it up) and the trade dress is updated with a new logo (or really, just a 3D version of the Titans Hunt 'Titans.')
The previous cover was just using the pre-Flashpoint logo, so probably the most obviously temporary, but it's a little bit of potential evidence for everything else getting something new.

It's cropped so you can't see that Spider-Gwen is popping up in front of Diana's exposed bush with a big speech bubble saying "BAZINGA"

I successfully managed to avoid spoilers for the past few days and I'm really glad I did. My comic shop isn't doing a midnight opening so they had a little side room set up today where the regular pull customers could come in and read whatever stuff they wanted, but leave the books there and then come back and actually buy them tomorrow. I went in on my lunch break and I was able to read all of the DC stuff and Rebirth #1, and I thought they were great. I'm so excited for Rebirth now. I hope everyone else who tried to avoid spoilers has as positive an experience as I did.

For people worried about reading order, I'd say read everything DC first and then Rebirth #1. The Rebirth issue specifically tells you to read Superman #52 and Justice League #50 first, but even in stuff like Grayson there are fun little references you'd want to see before reading Rebirth.

Now I get to go back to work and spend all afternoon reading the acres of spoiler coverage to try and pick up on stuff I missed from Rebirth.

I guess I'm not gonna get Rebirth, then, since I'm not getting the last issue of Superman.

Mildly considering going to the event at my local shop tonight to properly read the issue, but I'd need to have to pick them up tomorrow anyways since I can't be out late.

Well no store near me is opening at midnight for it, and I won't be able to get comics until after work so the debate now is get the comic online or get the floppy after work.

So in case anyone cares

Read Justice League #50, the Superman L&C #8, then Superman #52 and then DC Rebirth #1.


Or don't because they're all bad comics.

I'm really looking forward to Lois and Clark 8 and Superman 52. Lois and Clark has been a great comic thus far and really has me looking forward to following their family dynamic in Rebirth. And I'm really digging the Superman story I just caught up on about him dying.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
It'd be great if Hanna-Barbera IPs were now fully integrated into DC. Imagine being the owner of a mint SnagglePuss # LE with foil cover by Liefeld.

Justice League was hilarious. Lots of threateningly pointing a baby at things.
Also hilarious, the answer to the Joker name question.

And done with Rebirth. Unfortunately I had the BIG THING ruined when I stopped reading to go looking up info on where the narrator ended at Flashpoint. Rebirth's twist was revealed on the next line. Skip his DC Wikia entry.

So, I gotta ask, what was the answer to the Joker name thing?

Not in Justice Leauge 50 at least.

I need to get home and read superman 52 before I read Rebirth. But I doubt there's more about the three in Rebirth.
