AS WELL SHAZAM. THEY COULD HAVE JUST AS WELL PLAYED UP ON THE IDEAL OF THE EARTH 2 IN THE JSA ANNUAL 1 AS GOOD AS THAT BOOK WAS IT WAS ONLY A TEASE . NOW DAYS IT SEEMS THERES NOTHING BUT DEATH AND DARKNESS IN COMICS. I THINK THE MAIN REASON WHY DC COMCIS WERE BEING SO TOP SECRET ABOUT THIS BOOK IS BECAUSE THEY KNOW ALL ALONG WHAT TYPE OF BOOK THERE WERE GOING TO BE PUTING OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Maybe Helena is his daughter instead of Bruce's. All that said, Thomas Wayne probably makes more sense. Maybe Helena is his daughter instead of Bruce’s.

Don't have enough of those..... 2)Why is Jim Lee designing all of the new costumes, when none of them seem to make much sense? 3)Could be Thomas Wayne, but if they are doing the "Justice Society" in this book as well, could this be Damian all growed up? Dr. Hurt as an anti-hero? There are lots of possibilities here. However, if Earth 2 is the Flashpoint universe, it would be cool to see the SHAZAM kids again. Then again, it wouldn't be "world building," would it, as the Flashpoint Tie-ins did all that already? Still trying to figure out if I will invest money in this title. If it's just "Alternate JLA," I might skip it. My reactions to this:

There was speculation that Dick Grayson was the Earth 2 Batman, and that we'd see a world where the legacy characters take over, where time has actually moved on. Perhaps that's still the case, and we're dealing with Bruce's son (Damien?) as Batman, but I was hoping for something else. Actually, it probably is Damien. That’s too bad.
