Previously on what do DCnU titles mean to you... We discussed the titles billed as the Justice League Titles. Today we tackle the Green Lantern and partially the Batman franchise.
11.DC Universe Presents #1 (Anthology)
This is an anthology series featuring some of the more obscure characters that otherwise couldn't hold their own book.
What Else do we know:
We know this is what happened to the backups in the DCU, which means this is your new place to get short chapters about some of your favorite characters.
What do we expect:
Solo characters from some of the new team books like Justice League Dark will show up here for adventures.
The Official Line:
12.Green Lantern #1 by Geoff Johns, Doug Mahnke and Cristian Alamy
Same as the old series.
What Else do we know:
what else do we need to know?
What do we expect:
More captain planet, carebears, rainbow brite references
The Official Line:Geoff Johns has been charting the adventures of Hal Jordan and the GREEN LANTERN Corps since GREEN LANTERN: Rebirth, collaborating with such major artists as Ethan Van Sciver, Darwyn Cooke, Prentis Rollins, Marlo Alquiza and Mick Gray.
This fall, Johns reunites with artists Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy, as the series begins anew with GREEN LANTERN #1 with cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado. Together they will continue to thrill readers and expand the Green Lantern mythos.
Change is coming. But set aside your fear. It'll be worth the wait.
13.Green Lantern Corps #1 by Peter Tomasi, Fernando Pasarin, and Scott Hanna
Back to have Pete write the same ol' good book but with less pretty art.
What Else do we know:
Same as the above.
What do we expect:
Yep.
The Official Line:When deadly conflicts emerge across the universe, it's up to Guy Gardner, John Stewart and an elite Green Lantern strike force to keep the peace.
14.Green Lantern: The New Guardians #1 by Tony Bedard and Tyler Kirkham
This is your rainbow sherbert GL team book.
What Else do we know:
That there will be lanterns, this one actually we really don't know who is in it but...
What do we expect:
Kyle to lead a team of power rangers against the forces of darkness as we approach our next double rainbow event.
The Official Line:The power of Rage, Avarice, Fear, Will, Hope, Compassion and Love combine to be the most powerful (and colorful) team in the corps under the leadership of Kyle Rayner. Beware their power . . . and their volatility!
15.Red Lanterns #1 by Peter Milligan and Ed Benes
What Else do we know:
That Attrocious and Dex-Starr will star in this book.
What do we expect:
That if Milligan can bring the awesome to the party Red Lanterns will be the greatest book on the market.
The Official Line:Going solo. Atrocitus and his Red Lantern Corps return in their own series, battling against injustice in the most bloody ways imaginable. This Lantern Corps takes no prisoners, they are judge, jury and executioners!
16.Nightwing #1 by Kyle Higgins and Eddy Barrows:
What Else do we know:
That it stars Dick Grayson.
What do we expect:
That we will get a B.S. back treading explaining why Dick Grayson isn't Batman anymore and is now in a red costume.
The Official Line:
17. Batman #1 Greg Capullo on as artist and Scott Snyder
Scott Snyder will continue his already classic Batman run now staring Bruce Wayne.
What Else do we know:
That we are getting Scott Snyder on a Batman book.
What do we expect:
Snyder to be talented enough to show a different voice for Bruce than for Dick.
The Official Line:
18. Detective Comics #1 by Tony Daniel
Tony Daniel returns to Batman as his good but not great work with the Dark Knight continues, only now staring Bruce.
What Else do we know:
Not Much.
What do we expect:
That unlike Snyder, we've seen some disapointments from Daniel and therefore it is within the realm of posiblity that this book could be terrible.
The Official Line:
19. Batgirl writer Gail Simone and artists Ardian Syaf and Vicente Cifuentes.
Barbra Gordon is no longer in a wheelchair and instead Batgirl.
What Else do we know:
Not much.
What do we expect: Gail Simone to bring some intelegent answers for why this is happening, possibly placing Barbara inside of a computer network as Batgirl thus still remaining Wheelchair bound.
The Official Line:
20. Batman and Robin by Pete Tomasai
Pete continues his run with the classic duo only now it's Bruce and Damien.
What Else do we know:
That geeks everywhere breathed a sigh of relief when we found out it was Bruce AND Damien.
What do we expect:
A new Batman/Robin dynamic more akin to the one Bruce and Jason had.
The Official Line:

Batman
Batman and Robin
Red Lanterns
DC Universe
