Didio began the panel explaining DC’s view of the <b>Justice League of America</b> and its restart, noting that, following <b>Infinite Crisis</b>, which saw the company’s key franchises starring individual characters reinvigorated, it was a matter of DC needing to reinvigorate the team, something which required the right writer to come in and give it a voice. “That’s why we brought in Brad,” Didio said.

Meltzer said that all twelve issues of his run are written (but not yet edited), and fans will be both surprised and impressed by the artwork of Ed Benes on the series.

Asked about the possibilities of Wally West and his family returning sometime soon, Didio said that Wally's story is not over yet, but at this moment, and for the foreseeable future, Bart Allen is the Flash. DAMN IT! :mad:

Meltzer noted, when the discussion turned to succession of heroes, that one of the former Teen Titans definitely "graduates out" of their former team, and hinted that they may be one of the new members of the JLA. I'm guessing it will either be Bart "DAMMIT, JUST DIE ALREADY!" Allen or Starfire.
