So, last night (well, night for me) Greg revealed a chuck of info about the Harper Family on Earth-16: Jim Harper, Guardian I, is Roy Harper's great-grandfather. This is a new take on the family, which is, quite frankly, a mess. Just to give you something to read (and show off, of course), here is a little roundup of the Harper Family in the DC Universe.

Jim was first cloned in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #135. The nature of the cloning was retconned twice, first in Superman Annual #2 (1988) and later in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen Volume 2 #2.

Two characters having the same name in comics must mean they are related. Roy and Jim weren't the first.

• Chuck Grayson, Golden Age Robotman (not the one from the Doom Patrol, but the one from the All-Star S…

I've given this list on some of the blogs, but I thought it could be helpful if I centralized everything. Basically, a roundup of everything we know about the postponement of DC Nation.

This might be long...

• 1 Was it a last-minute change?
• 2 The reason rumors
  • 2.1 The 20th anniversary
  • 2.2 Milestone or just Static
  • 2.3 Stephanie Brown

Talk of the schedule change first began friday evening (US Time), when the DC Nation block was removed from CN's online schedule, and replaced with episodes of Dreamworks' Dragons: Riders of Berk and Johnny Test. Reportedly, the change was made at 1 AM on Saturday.

"But we didn't have promo pics yet!". Yes, they were absent. I can't recall precisely when we usually get them, but I'd make a fair guess if I said between Wednesday …

This one's been out for a couple of days, and it's been mentioned a few times here and there across the blogs. But, thanks to Cari1994, here's a link:

What's new? Well, most revelations are from Green Lantern: The Animated Series (Sinestro! Chaselon! Larvox! Batman?! Warth! Orange Lantern!) and it also shows off the shorts, including new ones like Amethyst, Shade the Changing Man, and what appears to be Thunder and Lightning. The YJ shots are mostly repeated from the last trailer. New shots:

• Blue Beetle in front of something (someone?) taking off. Couldn't see what it was, but it's blue and appears to h…

With the return of YJ, the promotional floodgates have been opened too. ComicBookResources talks with Greg Weisman. It's about "Satisfaction", Roy Harper, G. Gordon Godfrey, and "the timeskip in the comics. Check it out here!

Over on his FaceBook and Twitter, Christopher Jones posted a picture of the old Super Friends Legion of Doom: Here, with the comments "I've gotten to draw at least four of these characters (different versions of course) in the pages of Young Justice, and three of them were my own designs!" and "Of course, three of them are also from issues that haven't come out yet..."

So, who are those? For the Super Friends impaired readers, from left to right: Riddler, Scarecrow, Sinestro, Solomon Grundy, Brainiac, Captain Cold, Giganta, Lex Luthor, Black Manta, Gorilla Grodd, Cheetah, Bizarro, Toyman.

And here's what we know: Grodd has appeared. Brainiac will appear. Since he's using past tense, it's a fair guess he means characters from #20-#25 (I don't…
