I was amused by:
Woah, two whole pages!?I'm gonna pick that one up for sure. Gotta read those two pages, and I'm sure they won't be on Scans Daily or anything.
I didn't get that far. That's pretty hilarious.
DC to REBOOT???

They're going to explain everything in two pages because they likely rushed this plan through while Flashpoint was completed. I wonder what the original plan was before this relaunch got brought up in their retreat last October?
Two pages...that clearly shows a well thought out plan.
I'm sure in Flashpoint #5 Batman and Green Lantern will somehow be protected from the time eddies while Superman takes the brunt of it. Something like that.
Well, the Flash runs against the walls of reality... right, that's how things work, right?
Or apparently Iris as well...
I'm thinking that it isn't going to be left up to Barry to decide that...I think the character of Traci 13 who has starred in the World of Flashpoint mini-series is going to play some kind of huge role in the transition of the realities given the nature of her story and her powers. They were making too much of a big deal about Traci before Flashpoint started, the news of the relaunch has taken attention away from her but that would be my best guess. I think they could do a Scarlet Witch type thing here which would be lame.
What would have happen in Bat-girl for anyone who cares:

He just talks about the issues leading up to the final issue in that interview. Not really what would have happened to Steph if her book had continued. It still amazes me he used to be a "Smallville" writer. This was one of my favorite books. I love the cover to the final issue.
The sex scandals in U.S. politics over the past twenty or more years related to interns, including one involving a closeted gay congressman, have made the word "intern" something of a loaded a term in the U.S. With that in mind, does DC--a company that's spent the past fifty years fighting against the Dr. Wertham "Batman is gay pedophile" slur--really want to conjure up the image of Batman having young male interns?
We're not going to be entirely bereft of Steph in the coming months.
All the Batgirls are going to appear in an upcoming Tiny Titans issue.
According to CBR, Batman Incorporated issues #9 and #10 (which would have seen Bruce and Steph kicking ass in London after Batgirl #22) will be printed in either December or January as Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes, a special leading in to the conclusion to the Leviathan storyline.
And there might be one or two other things with Steph.
Yep we've discussed the conclusion of Batman, Inc before in the thread. In fact it is one of the only things that is allowing me to continue reading DC right now.

Or...good marketing. Those not reading Flashpoint but who are visitors to ScansDaily will get to see it and, hopefully (from DC's vantage point) be interested enough to try some titles.
Then again, we were told Infinite Crisis #7 would give us some pages to show how we went from Infinite Crisis to the OYL stories, which was basically a splash page and we had to wait almost a year for DC to realize they were never going to give us a satisfactory resolution to the plots hinted at in the OYL stories, but not show in 52, so they shoved everything into World War III, continuity be damned.
I care. It was the only comic I actually bothered collecting.
He talks about what was going to happen and how he had to change it to meet the cut-off at issue 24. JoeZhang's statement is correct in that regard.
Miller's Smallville episodes were usually pretty good if memory serves.
From what I understand, the whole DC relaunch was in the discussion stages for the last two years, and that Flashpoint was always intended to be the reboot source. So, I highly doubt the explanation was rushed.
Besides, the way that is worded, it could also mean that the explanation of what happens is two pages, but the process of it occurs over the course of the issue.
^ Actually DiDio and Lee revealed at SDCC in one of the panels that the relaunch idea came at a writer's retreat last October. It's possible they could have been discussing it at an early time but their current plan according to them was first brought up with the main writers (I think DiDio said there were 24 writers in the the retreat) in October.
Bryan Miller got "laid off," didn't he? I don't remember him being one of the 48 or so writers.
I mean, I never cared much about Stephanie Brown the character, but I can sympathize with the folks who did.
Although that reminds me, and it's a total tangent question, but has any superhero(ine, by definition) ever actually had an abortion?

^ I think he was one of them yes. I don't recall seeing him writing anything in the relaunch either.
That sucks. I never heard a bad thing said about his Batgirl run, and a lot of good things.
I said:
P.S.: Oh, and Choice Chick doesn't count. Image or Valiant characters might. I want to think that Sophie "Promethea" Bangs might have?
Is there a source for the "Didio said the idea came up at a retreat last October" other than Newsarama's live blogging of his presentation at SDCC? Because in fact DC's big secret creative retreat including plans for a new Lee/Johns Justice League was reported in early November of 2009.
I have to get something off of my chest: I am the reason for DC cancelling Bryan Q. Miller's Batgirl. You see, several months ago, based on word of mouth (as with Myasishchev, I had not heard anything bad about the book), I picked up a few issues and then made the decision to start collecting the title monthly. I forgot, I am cursed.
It seems if I start a title after it's first year, it ends up being cancelled:
I'm sure there are more titles, but those are all the recent ones I can think of.
To the fans of these titles, I can only say that I'm sorry, I didn't know.
*phew*
Feels good to get that out in the open.

- Blue Beetle: I started with issue #18, the title was cancelled with issue 36
- R.E.B.E.L.S.: I started with issue #10, it was cancelled with #28
- Doom Patrol: I started around issue #16, it was cancelled with #22
- Nova: I started with issue #29, it was cancelled with #36
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Well, given my late start with Nova, I basically started just as it was cancelled.
