DC held a couple of really good and funny panels, although not that informative, we're not the CCI after all, but there were a few things they let slip.
After the most worthless panel I've ever been to in the Mondo Marvel Panel where nothing was announced and no questions were answered the DC panel was a breath of fresh air.
This is all off the top of my head, so obviously I was paying more attention to the things that I was interested in, if you have a specific question about anything ask away, I'll do my best to recall what was said, if anything, on the subject.
According to Ian Saatler, replacing Dan Didio, and Geoff Johns, the new Chief Creative Officer, DC will now be a completely collaborative effort, all stories will go through them to maintain a better sense of continuity and a better feeling of family within the company.
For Batman Beyond fans your wait for new material is almost over, June sees the start of a new Batman Beyond on going, with a surprise guest star, Superman Beyond!
Green Arrow fans are in for big things this year apparently.
Little if anything was said about the Bat family titles other than Damian Wayne will not be joining the Teen Titans.
The rumor of the much anticipated Larfleeze Holiday Spectacular are true, Larfleeze wants to meet Santa.
There will be tons of new Legion of Super Heroes stuff this year. It will deal with which versions of which characters are present, what continuity fits in where, and how the new team will all work together.
There will be a Justice League/Justice Society cross over in a few months. It'll be four issues and deal with the new Justice League roster meeting the old pros for the first time.
Brightest Day won't be a company wide crossover, if the books say Brightest day they tie into the Ongoing book.
Things will not be all sunshine and butterflies in Brightest Day, it will in part deal with whoever is resurrected post Blackest Night, Aquaman and Firestorm were the only confirmed characters during the panel, and how they deal with returning to life. Some characters will do better than others, but it was hinted that certain early versions of a character will meet and deal with their modern day counter parts, and not all of the meetings will go well.
Geoff Johns once again stated outright that after Blackest Night #8 the revolving door of death will be closed.
Daxamites will not be involved in War of the Supermen, not even Mon-El.
Post Blackest Night the New Guardians will all relocate to Earth for obvious reasons, much to Hal Jordan's dismay.
The deputy Guardians will not retain their rings in most cases, although Geoff did say Atrosicus will continue to be enamored with Mera, although the feelings won't be mutual.
Emerald Warriors, the new Green Lantern ongoing book will focus on Guy Gardener but Peter Tomasi made it sound like Guy will be leading a Special Ops Team of the GLC. The only other confirmed character was Kilowog.
Geoff Johns is heavily involved in the creative process for the Green Lantern movie, it actually sounded like the designs and the stories were going through him in his new role as Chief Creative Officer for DC.
Geoff Johns is writing the script for the Flash movie as we speak.
The Earth One Graphic Novels will come out bi-annually.
The third Batman Movie will not be based on The Dark Knight Returns.
Geoff hinted that there may be a Green Lantern animated series in the future.
Dex-Starr vs. Krypto is still happening.
Dex-Starr was at one time a regular earth cat prior to joining the Red Lanterns, his origin will be explored later this year.
Like I said, if you want to know something specific ask and I'll let you know what I recall.
