Rebirthing the Reboot: @DcComics brings the best you loved from their previous DC Universes and combines it with the appeal of the New 52!
This year fresh off of the release of popular shows like Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and the follow up to the Man of Steel and the start of the DC Extended Universe, Batman Vs Superman movie, DC Comics announced DC Rebirth. At first with a blue logo with silhouettes of teased characters which includes a woman wearing the uniform of the Green Lantern Corp. (there has never been a female Green Lantern of Earth), two separate characters wearing the Superman symbol (who do not appear to be Superman) and another silhouette that looks an awful lot like Jay Garrick, the Flash of Earth 2.
WHAT IS DC REBIRTH?
DC Rebirth takes what traditional fans of DC bringing back a lot of continuity such as Clark Kent's and Lois Lane's relationship and bring them back together. In DC Rebirth, Clark and Lois will have a son who will star along side Batman's son and current Robin (a popular character that was established in DC's New 52) in a new on-going series called Super Sons. There's two Superman's the pre New 52 Superman who is married to Lois Lane and a proud papa and the New 52 Superman who may end up meeting his end. Check out Superman and Action Comics coming up for the info and somehow Lex Luthor becomes a Superman.
Recently for Scott Synder's and Greg Cappullo's run of their "Superheavy" storyline which after the event of "Endgame" where Batman and Joker perished together in a final confrontation had Gotham city appoint a police approved Batman in the form of Jim Gordon with a capeless black and yellow Batman costume and the "Rookie" Robo Batman mech suit/robot in Bruce Wayne's absence. A new villain and bigger threat called for the return of Bruce to the mantle of Batman with a new suit and new lease on life. Batman in DC Rebirth will retain his current continuity from the New 52.

In DC Rebirth, just like with the New 52 where they introduced a Muslim American Green Lantern, Simon Baaz, DC will also feature another new Green Lantern female Jessica Cruz. Also whereas the "Forever Evil" storyline most notably outed Batman's protege' and hero in his own right Nightwing as Dick Grayson. DC Rebirth restores Dick Grayson back under his mantle of Nightwing and also has him leading his Titan team with member Donna Troy, Garth, Lilith and Arrow protege' Arsenal. For more check out HERE. Don't call it a complete reboot more of a mash up of the current New 52 combined with everything that made DC Comics great before and further more to come!
