DC Comics is billing the last “Superman Family” titles arc of the New 52 / DC You era as changing Superman’s status quo.
Considering we will see that the New 52 Superman replaced in Rebirth, does that switcheroo begin here?
Writer Peter J. Tomasi went even farther when describing Super League’s connection to DC Rebirth and beyond.
“It blows out. It goes even further as we move through the course of the year.”
“I wish I could say more about “Super League.” I don’t want to pull any threads in our discussion, because I’m afraid it will unravel.”
“But I can say that we have some really big stuff planned for this story that haa massive ramifications moving into Rebirth.”
During Wondercon 2016 it was revealed that the character Superwoman, who will have her own monthly DC Rebirth series, will debut during Super League before Rebirth.
In addition, while it has not been confirmed, it is likely that the Asian New Super-Man may also debut during the Super League arc as DC Comics’ trinity tangles with China’s Great 10 super-hero team during the arc.
