I forgot to include Superboy last time. Well, I didn't forget, I just wasn't aware of it until I did some more digging. Looks like this go round, he's a robot of some kind. Greeeeeeat. Is this even the same character as in Teen Titans? He already had a somewhat complicated origin and originally a confusing power set ("tactile telekinesis?"). Like with Supergirl, they eventually transitioned him into something more akin to Superman himself.
Okay and real quick, my list of all the titles isn't quite accurate. I had Nightwing listed twice. The Authority is really called Stormwatch (starring the cast of The Authority!) and JSA hasn't been confirmed and doesn't look like will be at this point. I'm going to remove Action, although we all know it's coming, just for accuracy sake.

That leaves four books unannounced officially, which I assume will be Superman, Action Comics, Supergirl and Superboy. And done! So no Justice Society, no Secret Six, no Powergirl or Zatanna.. I think it's nuts that Green Lantern gets four freakin' titles. And if you count Birds of Prey and Catwoman, that's NINE Batman related books! I do applaud their attempted at doing more than just straight super hero stuff.
Onto a different topic all together, my friend Tee called me out on how I (and lots of people) complain about super heroines running around in high heels when most women have trouble standing and walking in them. His challenge? "What about Prince who used to run around and dance and do splits and stuff in heels?" I... don't really have a response to that. My ONLY defense is, "Well, Prince can do a lot of stuff ordinary mortals can't."
The argument against high heels was completely shattered on the season finale of America's Best Dance Crew when We Are Heroes returned and performed "Run The World (Girls)" Check out this video, especially around 2:40.
Consider my mouth shut!
