"When you say 'relaunch,' 'reboot,' I get skeptical as a comics fan -- but I also get hopeful when I know what it's all about," Johns continued. "Rebirth is not a reboot."

Johns explained that the purpose of 2004-2005's "Green Lantern: Rebirth" -- previously named as an inspiration for the impending line-wide "Rebirth" -- wasn't just about bringing back Hal Jordan, "but bringing back everything that's wonderful about these characters."

1) One DC character will die.

2) Three heroes will be reintroduced to the DCU, along with "the promise of more."

3) A secret will be revealed that will explain "why the DC Universe is the way that it is."

4) Building on the reveal of Joker's true name in Justice League #50, Batman will become obsessed with "the mystery that will change everything he knows about his greatest villain."

5) Another secret will reveal why the DCU lost a critical part of itself, one that ties into the debut of "the greatest threat it has ever faced."

1. New Super-Man, Focusing on a Chinese teenager named Kenan Kong who gains a portion of Superman's power
2. Trinity, Focusing on Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. The title initially shipped monthly.
3. Super Sons, Focusing on Damian Wayne and Jonathan Kent, the sons of Batman and Superman, respectively. The title initially shipped monthly.
