Out of that big promo image the characters that aren't revealed as part of any ongoings right now are:
Etrigan
Zatanna
Martian Manhunter
Vixen
Bumblebee
The Marvel Family
Firestorm
The Atom
And whoever that dude on the far left in the yellow shirt is
Etrigan and Zatanna will probably show up in Hellblazer
The Atom (Ray Palmer) was a Batman/Superman supporting character for a bit under Greg Pak. He could possibly be used in one of the team books, but I guess you could say that for any one of those characters too :?

Well
Its actually Ryan Choi, one of the stories in Rebirth has him giving Choi the suit via a message telling Ryan that he is stuck in the microverse
Pretty much everything is out in the wild already but it was very, very good.
The only actively stupid New 52-feeling thing in it was
the scene with Grail that ties into Baby Darkseid and the Darkseid War
everything else is super well done and feels more like the DC I know and like than anything I've read for a while from them.
The highlight is
the scene where Barry remembers Wally and saves him from the Speed Force. It is legitimately super moving and heartwarming.
The BIG SURPRISE was handled pretty dang well, I think
Pandora is killed in a visually identical way to Rorschach while screaming at an odf-screen Manhattan who evidently created her to serve as a scape goat for his experiments and how the heroism and hope of the DC Heroes will overcome him in the end.
The scene with Batman finding the pin doesn't feel as cheesy as I expected and gradually shifts into the 3x3 Watchmen panel style in a very slick way
And finally the epilogue with the watch on Mars and the "Nothing ever ends." quote was beautifully done.
Highly, highly recommend checking it out. Its 3 bucks for 80 pages, chances are you'll see something you will dig.
Here's my favorite sequence. Its a few pages longer than normal in terms of what we typically allow but it is also from an 80 page comic as opposed to a 22 page one.

The part that really hit home for me was after reading an interview with Johns
where he says Wally West is his favorite character and that he had his friend smuggle in the first issue of Wally's Flash run while he was grounded as a kid and has been wanting to bring him back for ages
So the "How could I ever forget you" is from both Johns and Barry, really

aw jeez, Geoff
Reading through Rebirth now, it's actually broken into chapters addressing thematically various things DC has done wrong
Chapter 2 is actually called Legacy, bringing back legacy heroes erased in New52 (Ryan Choi, Aqualad, Jaime Reyes) teasing some others (Damian's 13th birthday cake, Jessica Cruz expressing skepticism about teaming up with "the Green Lantern that carries a gun", and Wally telling an elderly Johnny Quick to find the Justice Society.
But it's Chapter 3 that's choking me up so far
titled "Love", it's all about undoing DCs silly restriction on superheroes having marriages and families. It opens with Green Arrow and Black Canary seeing each other and feeling a connection, like something was missing from their lives, to Dad Clark at a motel with Lois and Jonathan, to Aquaman proposing to Mera on the beach where they first met.
oh man, the scans Blank posted hit even harder when read in context with the rest of the issue, fuck
Yeah, with him leaning into his worst tendencies for quite some time it is easy to forget Geoff Johns got his spot in DC Comics by being a pretty goddamn good writer
And he writes the holy bejeezus out of this issue
His raw passion for DC and everything it should be shines through in basically every page

oh my god I just realized something. Rebirth warns the reader that it takes place after the events of the last issues of Justice League and Superman, so those should be read first
the number of the final pre-Rebirth issue of Superman?

That's a line-wide thing that they're doing, actually.

well, the flagship titles at least. It makes me more willing to accept that this might not be just a response to criticism of the New 52 (at the very least it might have been a backup plan if the reboot flopped). New 52 being 52 issues long could be a coincidence, but it lines up so well that I am willing to consider the possibility that this was planned 4-5 years in advance.
No but Detective Comics is a Bat-Family title starring Batman, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, Batwoman and, surprise New member, Clayface.

Not exactly, but Detective Comics is going to be about Batman and Batwoman (who are being billed as series costars) gathering all of the younger Bat-affiliated heroes in Gotham to train them. The cover they showed has Batman, Batwoman, Stephanie Brown as Spoiler, Cass Cain, and Tim Drake on it, and Azrael has been mentioned in one of the press releases.

I've been out of the DC game for a couple of years, and haven't kept up at all with what was going on in there, but you folks are making me really interested in Rebirth. I'm curious: how much will I get out of this comic? Meaning, will the emotional payoff still be good if I don't know who half the New 52 characters are or what they've been up to of late?
I mean, I'm gonna get the comic anyway, and I don't need four years of continuity to grin like an idiot at those Flash scenes that were posted earlier. Just idle curiosity, I guess.

It will be 90% understandable and enjoyable if you know the New 52 was not good and was very dark
There's a couple of scenes that directly reference recent storylines in unclear ways but the book itself is wholly enjoyable
legion of superheroes, along with young justice, were my late 90s growing-up comics

i've been hurt so many times
Back in the day, the post-Zero Hour Legion was my jam. I'm right there with ya.

Rebirth:
I like how they explained the two Wally Wests are actually cousins named after the same great grandfather and not doppelgangers. It gives the newer Wally more room as a character and clears up any weirdness there might be between them.

yeah, that was handled really well. as for Blank's question about the last few scenes
I feel like I'm missing something from having not read Flashpoint, or at least I assume that's where the letter from his father came from? The significance of the letter was lost on me, and if that helps explain why the Comedian's pin was in the Batcave then that scene would probably work better. Wally's narration during that still totally worked for me though as far as setting the new DC mission statement, and then the epilogue on Mars was well done.

They ask her if she's nuts or joking.
"No, it's okay. I've seen the future."
When they picked her up she only had one possession: a Legion flight ring.

The solicit sure makes it sound like the Batman one is off on the right-est foot imaginable
GL is Humphries so pass and GA is the same current writer of GA which has had middling response

Clayface as a hero, huh
Well now I gotta look into that
honestly it wouldn't surprise me if that came back too, the way Rebirth appears to be a conscious effort to make things right
Except for like, the Joker, basically all of the major Batman villains have had turns as heroes
I thought it was slick as hell
i fractured my fingers crossing them so hard
Yeah but Green Arrow has Black Canary and the return of Ollie's goatee.
