OK here is something that I see going on.
If you don't read Lying in the Gutters then some of this may be spoilers for you. (That is if you believe anything that lying in the gutters puts out.)
We all know Grant Morrison is a crazy Fuck. Well Rich Johnson in his Lying in the gutters rumor column on comic book resources reported that Grants original plan for Final Crisis was to Kill all of the Heroes and make them into legacy characters. The original heroes would become the new gods of the Fifth world and there mantles be taken over by the legacies. Supposedly DC went a little nuts and said "Grant please stay off the acid for a minute."
Well I just realised that sort of subtly DC has added kids to the mix of three of their big characters. First Damian is brought into continuity for Batman also at the end of one year later he officially adopts Tim Drake. Next we have superman and the boy he found in the Johns Donner action issues. I believe there was talk of him adopting the kid but who the fuck knows because that series came out a year and a half ago and is still not fucking finished. And lastly we have the Flash Retard twins. Add these five to Roy (Green Arrows Kid) and i see the potential for the original storyline.
I mean why go the pains of giving these people family unless you are going to give me the joy of reading these families getting torn the fuck apart. Maybe the report of DC going crazy was just put people off the trail and this may still be their plan. Fuck what a crazy idea this would be.
Then again we all know what a debacle the atom/monarch story line became once that got leaked so maybe DC is trying not have that happen again.
Well just some food for thought.

Grant Morrison should definately not stay off the acid he's too good. During his X-men days he should have actually offered some of the acid to Chuck Austen (maybe that would've helped) Interesting theory if DC has had that much foresight and been peppering their books with these subtle hints for 2years more power to them. That would certainly be worthy of being called an event comic.
