More on DC's "One Year Later" Jump

UPDATE: Keep checking for creator interview links being added daily.

On Monday, DC released info (very little) on their March releases, which is the first month of the One Year Later jump after Infinite Crisis. Below are some of the more interesting tidbits, along with a few more creator interview links:

Batman Family

  • Batman/Detective 8-part crossover by writer James Robinson: Who is the mysterious vigilante who’s been keeping Gotham free of crime? And what is his relationship with the new police commisioner? Who’s responsible for the murder of another Gotham villain? And what fateful decision must Batman make that could change his relationship with Robin forever?
  • Catwoman: Why is Selina Kyle no longer Catwoman? For that matter, why is she no longer named Selina Kyle? (The rumor here is she is now Selina Wayne and pregnant with Bruce’s child. Writer Will Pfeifer only adds fuel to the fire here.)
  • Nightwing: why is Nightwing hiding out in New York City?
  • Robin: Why is the Boy Wonder wanted for murder?

Superman Family

  • Superman/Action 8-part crossover, “Up, Up and Away!” written by Kurt Busiek and Geoff Johns: Metropolis prepares to bid farewell to a hero! Who’s tagged Clark Kent as a target?
  • Supergirl: Kara and Power Girl have become the dynamic duo of the bottle city of Kandor as the new Flamebird and Nightwing!

And in the rest of the DC Universe….

  • Infinite Crisis #6: What worlds live? Which hero dies?
  • OMAC Project Special: the legacy of Brother Eye rains down on earth, threatening exposure of a hero’s greatest secret and the dawning of a world war!
  • Blue Beetle #1: the mystical Blue Beetle scarab has chosen its new guardian! But supernatural powers can be a blessing or a curse, and when it comes to the powers of the Scarab, you don’t get one without the other.
  • Green Arrow: Ollie Queen is the newly elected mayor of Star City, fighting the good fight on the streets and through the system! Judd Winick campaigns here.
  • JSA: The JSA has been torn asunder! Former JSA writer Paul Levitz begins a 5 part story (with flashback) that has the heroes picking up the pieces of their lives as they face of against one of their deadliest enemies!
  • Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes: What’s Supergirl’s secret. Mark Waid keeps you guessing here.
  • The Outsiders: The Outsiders are finished. Done. No team by that name exists. Unless they’re coming for you… Writer Judd Winick takes us inside the Outsiders.
  • Teen Titans: A new year of exciting adventures begins with the “new” Teen Titans, the bizarre Doom Patrol and the mysterious and secretive Titans East!

Let the speculation continue...
