From the DCU panel at WonderCon, via CBR: writer James Robinson said that the Manhattan Guardian is still around, but that he’d be going with the original version in upcoming issues of Superman. Robinson also said something about Steel becoming the “anti-Luthor”(?) and giving up the armor, but that circumstances would force him to go back to it… Also, editor Ian Sattler said the Milestone characters (which DC does have plans for) would be based in the cities they were originally meant to be in, and that Static would continue to appear in Teen Titans.

Also from WonderCon: the Black Panther panel.
