This isn’t the first reboot and its not like everything is changing. Many things are staying the same, some are getting tweaked and some are complete reboots. This isn’t the first time and it sure won’t be the last.
I’ve heard it mentioned several times that none of the characters we all know and love are “gone”. They may not be the same, but they are still around or will be re-introduced into the new continuity.
I’ve seen Didio quoted as saying Karen Starr(aka Powergirl one of my favorites) will be a part of the DCnU and I think even in the JLA issue #1. Maybe her appearance and back-story has been tweaked(again) and she’s the mystery member everyone has been speculating about.
I’m not saying that all of the changes will be great or even good. There are some I’m downright sure will be horrible and fail, but even if only half succeed and lead to some good stories then I’m happy.
We tend to forget that almost none of these characters are exactly the same as they were when they were first introduced or even exactly the same as they were 10 years ago. They’ve been altered, reinvented, rebooted, tweaked and re-imagined so many times over their careers that only the core concept of the character remains. That’s the important part of the characters. Not their costumes or their hairstyle. The core of who they are is what matters and I don’t think DC will change that. Superman will always be for Truth and Justice even if they remove Krypton, Smallville and Lois Lane from the mythos. Batman will always be The Dark Knight of Gotham City and the Flash will always be the Fastest Man Alive, no matter if it is Barry Allen, Wally West or Harold Mcgillicutty.
