Some of the books listed below are getting first issues yet again, which is meant mostly for the speculators, the first issue marks who are attracted to such things like moths to light and bears to honey. If the number crunchers at DC bothered to do math, they wouldn't be rebooting to the first issue every few years. Same thing applies to Marvel, by the way.

The one curiosity I see is Super Sons. Back in the Silver & Bronze Ages, DC concocted tales of the "sons" of Batman & Superman, back at a time when continuity wasn't as important as it is today. These characters were phased out in the late 70's in World's Finest (1st series). Creative teams will be announced at a later date. Make your plans with your local comics shop now, and strike while the iron is hot.

"back at a time when continuity wasn't as important as it is today"
I don't follow comics much anymore, but from what I've heard about the "Crisis" series, "Secret Wars", "New 52" and now "Rebirth", it seems that continuity never was a high priority with either Marvel or DC.
Continuity in comics is flexible and disposable. Unfortunately, a lot of today's writers prefer the latter, ignoring the past to simplify the present so today's readers are left ignorant of a lot of history.
