History Awesome / DCRebirth

!! Meta
* ''DC Comics: Rebirth'' #1 is already getting a ''third'' printing, a premium softcover one-shot with Wally West on the cover. The ''second'' printing hit shelves only 4 weeks after release. On the whole, the opening weeks of Rebirth books sold like hotcakes. Many comic shops have reported selling out of the titles within an hour of opening. ''Green Arrow: Rebirth'' on its own sold ''90,000 copies'', and as of June 22, most if not all of the initial Rebirth titles will be getting second printings, including ''Action Comics'' and ''Detective Comics''. ''Titans: Rebirth'' in particular has been hard to find in comic shops.
* Issue #1 of the main title reveals that the Pre-Flashpoint and Post-Flashpoint Earths are one in the same, the latter simply the result of having ten years of history taken away from the former, meaning that the beloved characters fans thought were replaced in the ComicBook/New52 were actually the same ones they knew and loved all along! (except Supes, but they brought him back.)
* Gene Luen Yang [[https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/02/08/gene-luen-yang-reclaims-dcs-famous-racist-stereotype-new-superman-spoilers/ reclaiming]] Ching Lung, the YellowPeril stereotype from ''Detective Comics'' #1, by turning him into a JustifiedTrope, making him (quite literally) the first villain of DC Comics and the one who predates ''all'' DC superheroes, and who deliberately chose his image to play on Western fears.
-->'''Gene Luen Yang:''' He’s a Chinese super genius bent on taking over the Western world. He was designed to play on the fears that America had of the Chinese at the time. And he is an image that essentially denigrates and dehumanizes an entire people.

* During ''ComicBook/SupermanReborn'', it's ''Jon'' who defeats Mxyzptlk and whose [[IKnowYouAreinTheresomewhereFight pleading]] to New 52 Superman and Lois [[spoiler: restores the original Superman, merging both realities.]]

* ''Aquaman'' #2: Aquaman [[spoiler: beating down Black Manta, [[KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand then offering the criminal a free chance to kill him in revenge for his father's death]]... while pointing out that Manta has nothing else to live for, while Arthur's legacy will live on, causing Manta to give himself up in defeat, showing Arthur's every bit a king as he is a superhero. ]]

** Put this into perspective; This is the [[spoiler: Post-Crisis Superman]] that they are beating up. A Superman who has years of experience under his belt and has likely fought with Aquaman in the past in his [[spoiler: original timeine]]. So to see that these two can take him on? That says a LOT about how tough this Aquaman is.
* ''Aquaman #15'' seemingly ends the N.E.M.O. Storyline with Aquaman [[spoiler: stopping a war with America by surrendering...and telling the President that he can easily just kill him with ease but surrenders as to show he's a bigger man. And it ends with the war ending.]]

-->'''Batwoman:''' I trusted you, [[spoiler:Dad]]. I brought you here to show you the kind of leader I've become. Now you're gonna have to learn the ''hard'' way.

* In ''Superman'' #2, [[spoiler: Jon is showing his chops as the future Superboy with him blasting a monster's mind control device and even scorching his dad a tad. Even at half his dad's level, he is still plenty powerful. Jon also busts out his Superboy costume, and it's a great variation of the post-Crisis Superboy outfit.]]

** Also, this storyline [[spoiler: incorporates the prologue of ''DC: The New Frontier'' into the current main continuity!]]

* Superman and his family taking out [[spoiler: Manchester Black... and putting him into the body of a COW.]]

* ComicBook/WonderWoman's [[HesBack She's Back]] moment in ''Wonder Woman: Rebirth'' #1. [[spoiler:She realizes something's wrong when she crushes Ares' helmet like it was nothing, wraps the Lasso of Truth around her arm and forces herself to tell the truth of who she is really is and, once she does, tosses off her New 52 uniform, puts on her Rebirth outfit and heads for "Olympus".]]
* [[spoiler: Arsenal is able to punch out Wally West!Flash. Think about it; he's able to land a blow on a guy when he was still speeding around. That shows the level of training he's got.]]

* ''Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps: Rebirth'': [[spoiler: Hal Jordan manages to use the Gauntlet of Krona to ''forge his own Green Lantern Ring'', something that was thought only the Guardians could have done. ''[[OhCrap And every lantern felt it.]]'']]

* In ''Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps Issue 12'', Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart AND Kyle Rayner are back together to defeat [[spoiler: Larfleeze.]] And we also find out that [[spoiler: the Sinestro Corp defectors and the Green Lanterns are teaming up.]]

* [[spoiler: Issue #1 of the main title reveals that the Pre-Flashpoint and Post-Flashpoint Earths are one in the same, the latter simply the result of having ten years of history taken away from the former, meaning that the beloved characters fans thought were replaced in the ComicBook/New52 were actually the same ones they knew and loved all along!

* Clark calling out the BS of a waitress who wouldn't let a veteran eat with them. Also counts as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming for the Kents.

* Issue #982. The Fortress of Solitude is taken over by the Cyborg Superman's Superman Revenge Squad and they want Superman next. However, they're stopped by the Superman Family - Supergirl, Steel, Superwoman, New Super-Man and Lex Luthor. And Luthor tells them that the only way they're getting Superman is over their dead bodies.

* In the '' Suicide Squad'' book, the team accidentally frees General Zod from the Phantom Zone, where he had become the leader of a group of ancient Kryptonian criminals. Due to not being reexposed to sunlight yet, the Squad is able to capture him and Amanda Waller has a Kryptonite bomb put on his brain, wanting to make him into the Squad's powerhouse. After just one mission under Waller's thumb, Zod decides to free the criminals inside the Zone and rebuild the Kryptonian race on Earth. So he goes to a mirror and uses his heat vision to PERFORM BRAIN SURGERY ON HIMSELF! While his screams are heard all over the base, Zod endures the pain.

The Squad ends bring helped by Cyborg Superman and the Eradicator and they barely slow Zod down long enough to destroy the portal to the Phantom Zone. He ends up joining his two fellow Superman villains but only after they offer him a way back to the Zone.

* In ''Justice League vs. Suicide Squad'', Johnny Sorrow (who has "The Face of Madness") attempts to use his RealityWarper face to Harley Quinn, who '''''{{No Sell}}'''''s it and sees his ''real'' face.

* In ''Superman: Rebirth'' #1, you get to see Doug Mahnke's interpretation of ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s battle with Doomsday from ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman''. The artwork is ''awesome'', seeing a new talented artist depict the iconic scene. It doesn't hurt Superman is wearing his classic costume. Even Mullet!Superman looks great.
