—Pre- Flashpoint Wally West DC Rebirth is the 2016 relaunch of, and their first major rebranding since the began in 2011. Unlike the latter, DC Rebirth isn't a of the; it's more akin to 's of late, with notable status quo shifts and new creative teams taking over certain titles, as well as some books being renumbered and others getting new #1s. DC Rebirth is a product of The New 52's dissolution in 2015, which gave way to another (short-lived) initiative called. While some of the creative decisions made during the DC YOU era were acclaimed by critics and readers, it hadn't boosted sales; in fact, DC's overall comic figures dropped to what they were before The New 52 launched. Because of this, they decided something had to be done to reignite interest in their books. —who was personally responsible for the 'rebirths' of and a decade or so earlier— is at the helm of this ambitious project, citing an emphasis on 'legacy' and doubling down on what readers have always loved about DC Comics. Additionally, a one-shot called DC Universe: Rebirth (penned by Johns himself) will be published, laying the groundwork for the rest of the new line.
See for another series of new book launches designed to bring in new readers, this time harkening back to early '90s.

Unbeknownst to her, her father is the leader of the Colony, and he uses the opportunity to disable and take control of the Belfry. The intent all along was to gain access to Batman's data in preparation for a strike on another target, and Kate played right into her dad's hands by doing what he expected her to do. •: • Red Robin (Tim Drake) and Spoiler (Stephanie Brown) in.
