Word out of
NYCC (what word has managed to escape over the sound of Marvel
failing so badly at everything)
included a little snippet of James Tynion IV saying that the
questions surrounding Conner Kent in the rebirth continuity would be
answered in Detective Comics
#966.
That's
this week.
Okay,
so I'm invested in this because Young Justice
was a big part of how I became a comics fan. That particular
generation of the sidekicks are contain some of my favourite
characters in some of my favourite comics. The fact that everyone
from that group got completely jobbed in the New 52 is something of a
lingering wound and if we're getting a return for anything
approaching the proper version of Conner, I am all in.
I
mean, with only one issue of A Lonely Place of Living
out we've already for Tim's original origin restored and the
Tim!Batman from Geoff Johns' Teen Titans
has made an appearance as well.
Now,
is it likely that the “proper” version of Conner is coming back.
Well,
for one thing I don't imagine anyone's terribly attached to the New
52 version and, on a more pragmatic side, Conner is going to be in
the third season of Young Justice
when it returns so there's a marketing angle. Also, if they have big
plans for Tim spinning out of this (and I hope those rumours that
he'll be leading the Outsiders are true) then bringing Conner back to
be the perfect foil he always was to Tim would be a good move.
After
that its just a matter of bringing Bart back from wherever in the
timestream he's been hanging out since Flashpoint and then just a
little selective amnesia so that Cassie isn't a horrible bad girl
parody anymore.
A
guy can dream.
