Continues from the Rebirth numbering.
* '''''Teen Titans''''': Having grown disillusioned with the failures of older heroes Damian Wayne puts together a new team to handle supervillain threats... permanently. Continues from the Rebirth numbering.

* '''''ComicBook/ManOfSteel2018''''': A new villain appears to kill Superman... one that has ties to the destruction of Krypton.
* '''''ComicBook/BrianMichaelBendisSuperman''''': Following on from ''Man of Steel'' Superman is forced to reflect on his place in the world... while Clark Kent has to reflect on life without his wife and son.
* '''''Supergirl''''': Kara Zor-El sets out into the stars to discover the truth behind Krypton's destruction, which proves to be a greater mystery than she could have imagined. Continues from the Rebirth numbering.

* '''''Hawkman''''': Carter Hall discovers that his history of reincarnation goes back further than he realized and is tied to a mystery spanning ages.
* '''''Catwoman''''': Following the wedding of Batman and Catwoman, Selina Kyle leaves Gotham for some time to herself only to wind up dead center in a conspiracy focused on her alter ego.
* '''''The Green Lantern''''': A look into the day to day life of Hal Jordan as he goes about his duties as a SpaceCop.

* '''''Batman and the Outsiders''''': Having discovered the secrets of the Brainiac Files Batman puts together a new team to handle the threats that have been revealed.

[[folder: Limited series]]
* '''''Plastic Man''''': Plastic Man finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that may be targeting the Justice League. Six issues.

* '''''Heroes In Crisis''''': Tragedy strikes the superhero community following an attack at the mysterious Sanctuary. Nine issues.
* '''''Electric Warriors''''': Earth emerges from [[ComicBook/{{Kamandi}} the Great Disaster]] only to discover a universe on the brink of war where a fragile peace is maintained by diplomatic gladiators known as Electric Warriors. Six issues.
* '''''Freedom Fighters''''': On the Nazi Regime dominated Earth-X the Freedom Fighters work to reignite the American spirit- the literal one known as Uncle Sam. Twelve issues.
* '''''Martian Manhunter''''': J'onn J'onzz must solve a murder mystery that brings him back to his long dead world of Mars. Twelve issues.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Hawkman serves as one to Wolverine. Both are empowered by metal with unusual properties, seek out memories of their forgotten past, and are essentially immortal in different ways.
** Plastic Man comes across as one to Deadpool. Both seek to make amends for their criminal past, have a SadClown facade to cope with their own self-loathing and are ultimately morally complex while acting like an uncaring jerk. Very blatant in issue #2 of the mini-series where he makes pop-culture shoutouts and even breaks the fourth wall.

** The Still Force, an inverse of the Speed Force that normally fuels the power of speedsters. As such it can disrupt Speed Force powers and slow others down.
* BrokenPedestal: Following the invasion of the Dark Multiverse and the Source Wall breaking the Justice League has been subjected to this. Formerly ardent supporters and stalwart allies have come to see them as nothing but flawed and ineffectual while before they were Earth's first line of defense against the unknown. Green Arrow, who was almost driven to tears at being offered membership in the League, outright tells them that Waller's belief that they've been cleaning up messes that they caused is absolutely correct.
** On a smaller level there is Damian Wayne and Wallace West in ''Titans'' who have both grown tired of the flaws that their mentors have and form a new team to do things their own way.

* MythologyGag:
** In an UltimateUniverse like fashion the ''Justice League'' title draws on a mixture of influences from the comics (Cyborg and Martian Manhunter as members of the League), ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' (John Stewart and Hawkgirl as members of the League while Hal Jordan is absent), and ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'' (the Legion of Doom as the main enemies, Sinestro's uniform being the one from that show).

* OpenSecret: The existence of Sanctuary. It isn't widely known about (Green Arrow doesn't know of it when Roy Harper mentions it)and most of the superpowered community doesn't know it even exists but those aware of it don't have compunctions about bringing it up to those who aren't. It seems to be more of a private location where those needing help are sent on an as-needed basis rather than an outright secret.

** Tempest, Lilith, Bumblebee, and Aqualad are all absent while their teammates are still active.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: So very much averted. Sanctuary is a place created explicitly to help superpowered beings and costumed vigilantes cope with the traumas of their unique lifestyles.

For the New Age of Heroes which was also meant as follow up on ''ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal'' refer to that page [[Creator/DarkMatter2017 here]] as DC solidly established that as it's own group of titles.

* '''''Teen Titans''''': Having grown disillusioned with the failures of older heroes Damien Wayne puts together a new team to handle supervillain threats... permanently. Continues from the Rebirth numbering.

* '''''The Batman Who Laughs''''': The Batman Who Laughs returns to torment Batman with a new dark plan.
* '''''Heroes In Crisis''''': Tragedy strikes the superhero community following an attack at the mysterious Sanctuary. Seven issues.

** On a smaller level there is Damien Wayne and Wallace West in ''Titans'' who have both grown tired of the flaws that their mentors have and form a new team to do things their own way.

** The Invisible Spectrum, aspects of the Emotional Spectrum used by the various Lantern Corps that is based on emotions that are usually suppressed by others. It manifests as the Ultraviolet light that seems to be powered by hatred and causes those that wield it to be controlled by a sentient black sun called Umbrax.

** Jon Kent is no longer present as a result of the events of ''ComicBook/ManOfSteel2018''.

* BrokenPedastal: Following the invasion of the Dark Multiverse and the Source Wall breaking the Justice League has been subjected to this. Formerly ardent supporters and stalwart allies have come to see them as nothing but flawed and ineffectual while before they were Earth's first line of defense against the unknown. Green Arrow, who was almost driven to tears at being offered membership in the League, outright tells them that Waller's belief that they've been cleaning up messes that they caused is absolutely correct.

* KyrptoniteRing: Martian Manhunter entrusts Green Arrow with a box that can be used to destroy the Justice League should it ever prove necessary.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: The very nature of the DC Universe was altered by the Source Wall breaking at the end of ''ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal''. Seven hidden forces can now be accessed, magic has begun to fail, an entire new sector of space was basically created during the events of ''No Justice'', BrokenPedastal is now in effect on the Justice League, etc.

* '''''Teen Titans''''': Having grown disillusioned with the failures of older heroes Damien Wayne puts together a new team to handle superhero threats... permanently. Continues from the Rebirth numbering.

* '''''Plastic Man''''': Plastic Man finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that may be targeting the Justice League.
