Going back to the Supernova question... I just noticed that his costume uses all the same colors as Superman's costume... it may not mean much, but when I design a costume, the first colors I think of are not red, white, blue, and yellow...

Supernova also appeared in some older comic when Superman lost his powers and took on the new identity of Supernova when fighting crime as a normal humanoid.
So that's an additional connection to the Superman mythos, though everyone kinda ignored it because they were hopining it was Booster.
Still though, it's probably The Atom or something.
Take a look here at this week's 5.2 article from Newsarama. Steve Wacker and Mark Waid both chat about how Booster, his ancestor, Rip Hunter and Skeets might tie into each other. They also tossed in the first two pages of the next issue involving another appearance by Supernova.

Newsarama: In Metropolis, why does Wonder Girl even suspect Supernova is Kon-el? Was there suspicion there before meeting him, did she recognize his voice? What?
Mark Waid: She got it from Rich Johnston. And we all know how reliable he is.
This made me spray milk out of my nose, and I wasn't even drinking milk.
Some kind of Connor Clone, out of the Cadmus vaults, only different somehow.
A weird amalgam of Connor and SBP, fused into one as the universes all collapsed in on themselves, and with a whole new power-set, possibly stemming from the Oan power battery.
And I have no fucking idea what the fuck is up with Skeets and Booster's ancestor. Though the newsrama suggestion of him becoming Rip Hunter is pretty bad-ass.

[spoiler:8bba2a8ee9]Waid: Okay, if you think back to one of our previous interviews about 52, sharp readers will recall that we once revealed how Grant said something random in a conference call, around issue five or so, that blew everyone's mind and changed everything. Now it can be revealed: Grant said, simply, "What if Skeets is evil?" That was the second biggest "Boy, we sure didn't plan that at the initial meeting!" bombshell any of the writers ever unleashed upon the others. (The first biggest was something Geoff said about what the 52 Missing Seconds were protecting. I'd tell you more, but I feel another wet cough coming on.)[/spoiler:8bba2a8ee9]
I swear, I hate this kind of storytelling in DC. I hope one day Kurt Busiek wakes up and says, "Hey, I've got an idea. Listen guys. Guys, ready? What if Superman liked dicks? No, no, not his own, of course he loves his own. I mean what if he liked some good deep anal fucking? Geoff, stop crying. Listen, this will add a whole different dimension to the character. His whole marriage being built on a lie, his "partnership" with Batman, his attraction to the masculine, take-charge Lois Lane. Think about it. Plus this shit will go down like gangbusters in San Fran. Gentlemen, we've got a hit!"
OK I havent actually read a single issue of this series just crap from scans daily and listening to you guys.
Is it worth paying for?
btw 'crap' doesnt implie i dont like it
It's pretty good. It has its rough patches, and there's some things I dislike about the storyline purely out of fanboy bias, but it seems to be gaining some momentum now. It kind of has a Teen Titans feel; good superhero fluff with a little intrigue courtesy of Rucka, and a little Grant Morrison weirdness.
I like it because it's giving the second string players a chance to play for once. Actually, that's the best thing about Infinite Crisis through 52... hell, prior to IC I'd never even heard of Detective Chimp, or anyone from Shadowpact... or half the characters that got a chance to shine during it. 52 is just continuing that trend. Although, it does have some slow parts, it's getting pretty good now.

Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)

Supernova is either...
Some kind of Connor Clone, out of the Cadmus vaults, only different somehow.

Anally.
So I don't know what it is but when I looked at that last panel of the second page I thought
[spoiler:44c8312668]Batman has the Infinity Gauntlet?[/spoiler:44c8312668]
In the Bat-cave. Looking at the Robin costume.
It's Jason Fucking Todd
Anally.
Wrong. He's looking at Lex Luthors gauntlet thing.
It's Lex Luthor! Dun dun dun!
I dunno.

A Luthor clone!
A Luthor clone that is just a plain old clone, only with the meta gene treatment to give it some hard-core powers.
I could roll with that.

Based on the latest 52 interview on Newsarama I think Lobo is going to kick the bucket.

Lobo can't die though. Nobody will take him, heaven or hell.
PSN: OrneryRooster
Yeah. It's completely impossible for him to die.
Both beause of the heaven and hell thing, and the fact that he can regenerate from a single drop of blood, nearly instantly.
Also he's kind of as powerful as superman, strength wise. So yeah.
Munch, c'mon. Busiek would be more like "You know how I view Superman? As Conan. Conan in SPAAAAAAACE!!!"

Yeah, because if one things constant in comics, it's that things never change.
