from All The Rage at Silver Bullet Comics: (Rich Johnston's former rumor site, now taken over by someone else)
>> Ever since the San Diego con, I’ve heard rumors that DC’s upcoming line of books featuring Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman might not come to pass. The line, which some have derisively called “Ultimate DC”, does appear to be a direct response to Marvel’s success with the Ultimate titles. However, several sources both inside and outside of DC expressed skepticism as to whether or not it would actually go forward.
Fortunately for DC, the rumors coming out of Wizard World tell another story. Additional details about the first round of titles spread like wildfire among the attending professionals. According to what I’ve heard, the initial creative teams lined up are:
Superman by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely.
Batman by Jeff Loeb and Jim Lee
Wonder Woman by Geoff Johns and Adam Hughes
Right now, the plans seem to call for six to twelve issue arcs by rotating creative teams. At this point, the line is still in an early stage of development and may not even have an official title yet. It also appears that the editorial reigns will run through Wildstorm.

Up And Atom
Remember the Atom revival mentioned here a few weeks back? I’ve heard that Grant Morrison may also be writing that title as well. According to the original rumor, DC is looking to make The Atom “a top tier book.” If that’s still the plan, then Morrison would certainly be a good choice for the title.
Additionally, there’s word going around that J. Scott Campbell will be working on a DCU project after he finishes WildSiderz, sometime in 2005.
