Ted -- I don't think DOOMSDAY CLOCK will be that predictable.
"Rebirth" and DOOMSDAY CLOCK are happening because DC editors realized they'd written themselves into a corner with the New 52, and sales were no better than they were before 2011, and so things needed to change dramatically. And they have.
I was shocked by and skeptical of the whole Dr. He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named rewriting reality idea. But it no longer bothers me. It's an extreme measure, of course. But it makes a sort of...poetic sense? The influence of WATCHMEN ended up influencing mainline DC comics in a very bad way -- especially during the New 52 era. So a story in which, essentially, the brightly colored fun characters (and, yes, Batman) of the DCU "fight back" against the darkness, the glumness...I like the idea.
Believe me, when you read the first issue, it won't be what you expect it to be.
